Name: On the Plains
Duration: P00H03M49S
Description: “Forget the old ways, Steer clear of the new” Funnily enough this song is the closest to sounding like something from “old”. The flutes, melodica and Hohner Erica combine with a spirit still lingering from my earliest albums, Peach in a Pickle and Deaf Side Songs. I also pushed my guitar to its limits, detuning it to Bb.

“Forget the old ways, Steer clear of the new” Funnily enough this song is the closest to sounding like something from “old”. The flutes, melodica and Hohner Erica combine with a spirit still lingering from my earliest albums, Peach in a Pickle and Deaf Side Songs. I also pushed my guitar to its limits, detuning it to Bb.

lyrics

I ride out on the plains
Where the sun don’t blow
And the wind don’t rain

Forget the old ways
Steer clear of the new
Wouldn't you
Wouldn’t you want to
Wander Free
Out on the plains with me

I wish

And when we ride
Back home
And slide on in
To old habits
And easy sins
Wander free
On the plains with me

I wish
I wish
