Roger Harvey's latest release, "Blue Mountain," is a hard-driven story of escape from a place that won't let you go. 'The mountain is not a place anymore; it's a metaphor for conformity, limitation, and the obligation to conform to someone else's idea of success." The song's rebel soul is Harvey's confession, "My only crime / Was not buying what they sold." There is suffering everywhere, but the writing does not give in to defeat. Rather, "I refuse to let Blue Mountain / Be the death of me" is a statement of survival, and lends this reflective song a quietly defiant edge.
