Introducing the song through with a monologue from Hunter discussing a journey on a hovercraft through the everglades, the song progresses into a dynamic use of various strings including country fuelled guitar lines and rhythmic violins. Hunter’s rough cut voice is the perfect feature for country music and he commands the song expertly through the use of his vocals. The uplifting message of the song is amplified by a gospel driven chorus and the ever optimistic lyrics.
Speaking to the meaning behind the song Hunter explains, “Glide is about going through life with it's ups and downs and getting back up when you fall or something goes wrong and always knowing it’s going to be OK”.
Working with legendary producer Tim Mitchell, (Shakira) Hunter has culminated elements of his incredible life story and created music with a personal element.

Hunter worked with Tim in a dynamic setting that also included him getting vocal lessons and honing out the unique and instantly recognisable vocal stylings he is now prepared to bless music listeners around the world with.
