Vista Hill

Song Review

“Vista Hill” is a deeply personal and emotionally resonant track that explores themes of regret, resilience, and redemption. It's part introspection, part anthem—anchored by raw vulnerability and a compelling metaphor that gives the band its name. There’s authenticity in every line, and that’s what sets it apart.

The lyrics are sincere, poetic, and grounded in real emotion. The image of "riding up that hill" works beautifully as both a literal reference and a metaphor for internal struggle. Lines like “Thinking ’bout that pill that turns me into Superman” introduce a raw honesty that gives the song emotional gravity without slipping into melodrama.

The bridge is especially poignant. The mention of “tiny hands” introduces a subtle shift—suggesting parenthood, legacy, or reconnection—which adds depth and nuance without over-explaining.
The chorus has a steady, anthemic quality that sticks. It feels reflective but also carries momentum—just like climbing an actual hill.

“Vista Hill” is an excellent flagship track for your band. It’s reflective of your name, your ethos, and your emotional authenticity. It doesn’t sound like you’re trying to be anyone else—it sounds like you. And that’s the highest compliment I can give.

This could easily be your signature song—especially if performed with dynamic build, tight harmonies, and emotional delivery.

Song Lyrics

Jackie Louise
By Greg Belmonte

Jackie Louise, she gave up on herself
She’s got no time for anyone else
But Jackie’s okay, she calls every day
And that’s alright now

I saw her heart bleed on the stage
I saw her coming down
Doubtful from the start, she was amazed
That someone could love her somehow

Jackie was smart, she said no way
No one can hurt her now
I said the same and gave it away

Patiently waiting, lost and found
Jackie Louise, she gave up on herself
She’s got no time for anyone else
But Jackie’s okay, she calls every day
And that’s alright now

I made the call
Maybe too late
Time is running out
Jackie, just turn around
And open your eyes

Jackie Louise, she gave up on herself
She’s got no time for anyone else
But Jackie’s okay, she calls every day
And that’s alright now
And that’s alright now
And that’s alright now
