Eric Johnson - When The Sun Meets The Sky

Eric Johnson's "When the Sun Meets the Sky" is a melodic rock track from his 1996 album Venus Isle, released via Capitol Records. Co-written by Johnson and Stephen Barber, it's known for its introspective lyrics about longing, hope, and emotional repair amid personal struggles, paired with Johnson's signature intricate guitar work—think fluid solos, clean tones, and a blend of rock, pop, and instrumental flair. The song features contributions from bassist Roscoe Beck and drummer Tommy Taylor, produced by Johnson and Richard Mullen.
The lyrics paint a picture of someone navigating daily chaos and darkness without a loved one, yearning for a path to reconnection: lines like "This Sunday, you were blowin' through my mind / Like Tuesday, you were burnin' in my eyes" capture that restless pursuit, building to the hopeful chorus "So when the sun meets the sky / I'm gonna take a ride / And get to where I do / When your love is gonna call me home / I will run to you, the way you want me to." Fans often praise the solos as masterful, with one describing it as "a painting made by a master painter" for its phrasing and technique.
