about

'The title for this one I got on February 21, 2020, while watching a video on YouTube about why people in the U.S. don’t hitchhike that much anymore, and I thought it would fit well on the Highway of Tears release. Eleven days later I came up with some slow music that inspired a vocal melody for the words in the title. The title is reflected in the picking of the strings. In turn, the string picking and open endings of the verses are inspired by Amigo The Devil’s Hell And You. It is no coincidence that I just had played a support for Amigo when I came up with the music for this song. Inherent Dangers! had its live debut on September 22, 2022.'

lyrics

Chorus:
People say there are inherent dangers
When it comes to picking up strangers
But the same thing can be said
For Highway 16’s dead
Without a ride and hitchhiking instead

Dead bodies are found along the road
From Prince George to the BC west coast
Some hitchhikers were never seen again
Way too soon they met their journey’s end

Chorus

Many die and there’s no one to say
If and where a killer strikes today
Families cry, their pain will last for years
Don’t ever hitchhike the Highway of Tears

Chorus
