The Wide Road

Story Behind The Song

I tried to write a song with a lot of breaks. A low-fi song that has a spontaneous, heavy feel.

A garage rock song with Zappa over-tones, about losing whatever it is that makes one inspired...whether its love, or God. these uninspired hords become, mental sheep, conformists and cultural Nazis.

Song Length 4:10 Genre Rock - Alternative
Tempo Medium Slow (91 - 110) Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Mood Restless Subject Lost Love, Conformity
Language English Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Shake
Don't shake me up
You're rattlin' my corrigated bones

It's time I shut my open mind down
Roll me up
Take me home

(chorus):
How can I open my eyes
Without the love of my life?

Quake
Maybe the Quakers were wrong
A passive mind is all alone

Its time I shut my open mind down
Solidify
All I wanna do is walk that wide short road

(chorus)

Stand
All that I stand for
Is lying down on the ground

It's time I shut my open mind down
Solidify, solidify

(chorus)
