On The Private Press I wanted to force myself to dig deep into emotional territory…including contemplating death and dying, which is a somewhat consistent theme on a few of my albums. The loud thumping noises 2/3 of the way into the song represent death rattles and everything after is the afterlife. Sorry if this answer is too literal. Thanks for asking.

DJ Shadow Shadow had a open question and answer about his music on facebook. One person asked ”What is the story behind Blood on the Motorway and is there a meaning to the song?” Shadow’s answer match what I thought, felt and still feel every time I listen to that song. |
