Derrick Mears & Route 358
We are excited to release our second Red Barn Studios Live Session entitled "Lantern's Light". I grew up in a small town called Neosho, Missouri and just outside of town was this paranormal phenomenon known as the "Hornet Spook Light" a mysterious lantern like light that floated around a dirt road. I was thinking back to when I was in high school and went to see the light recently and sat down and wrote this song. Here is a link to the video.
