Discover the story of the song > Canyon Moon – Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

The protagonist is on a road trip with his partner, but she can't handle another season and says a prayer to a dashboard Jesus. Eventually, she disappears and he doesn't know where she went. The leaves are falling and church bells are ringing in the little town they pass through, but she's gone. The chorus encourages the protagonist to let go of his troubles, burn down his preconceived notions, and just go with the flow even if he doesn't know the way.
