On The Open Frontier (Reprise 08/21) -- August 1, 2021

Re-arranged and re-recorded. New performance August 1, 2021 of song: On the Open Frontier.

Shortened the overall song length. I sped up up the tempo and removed one of the verses. Changed the musical key to get a different sound out of my voice. Changed the drum beats to match the new tempo and feel. The accents on the guitars and bass changed to a early punk rock sound (circa 1976 – 1979 ).

Lyrics

Words, words mean anything
Too many things aren't right
For you just to say, what we want

We, we have found the time
Cause what we heard are rhymes
Their empty frame rolls by, and I say

[ Chorus ]
I see the sun, before your eyes
I see the world, it's rolling by
I work and work, all night and day
You turned around, You turned to say

Signs, signs can show the way
A simple quest at play
Uncertain of the edge, that we made

Thoughts, I thought another time
Symbolic gestures pray
On last year's parade, so today

[ Chorus ]

Out on, open road frontier
A simple fate was near
A race to follow time, oh the time
Here, here we had not thought
A final time to say
So cold just like the rain, once again

[ Chorus ]

What did I say, where was it all
Were I to know, that we would be gone
Gone Away, gone with the time

[ Chorus ]

Words, words mean anything
Too many things aren't right
For you just to say, what we want

We, we have found the time
Cause what we heard are rhymes
Their empty frame rolls by, and I say

[ Chorus ]
