“Where Do We Go From Here” by Michael Gilas
Starting one’s day with a song like “Where Do We Go From Here” is a pretty damn cool experience. The sonic warmth that embraces you as you sip your first cup of coffee feels very comforting. It’s one of those tracks where everything is just so. I couldn’t think of anything to add or anything to take away. It’s outstanding.
Starting with just guitars and vocals, but evolving into an almost gospel-like finish with wonderful vocal harmonies, it’s a powerful musical statement from Gilas. I truly appreciate the arrangement, and the production is first-rate. The guitars sound as fantastic as Gilas’ voice. Nothing’s left to chance. “Where Do We Go From Here” is a well-thought-out pop gem that brings to mind the likes of Don Henley in its execution.
Lyrically, the song deals with how we treat each other in moments of need. Life is full of mountains to climb and valleys to cross — that much I’ve learned during my nearly half a century on the planet. Every day comes with a new beginning, a stack of new choices to make. Perhaps the most important question in all our minds at any given point in time should be: where do we go from here?
Gilas has delivered a piece of contemporary pop gold with a meaningful message, something very few artists manage to achieve.
