Wild Horses

This song is about geographic distance revealing how much you love somebody. The "hair in the breeze" is one of those simple natural elements that makes you feel connected with the loved one, even when distanced. The recording started in NZ on a family holiday. I started tracking with my wife's abandoned nylon acoustic from her teenage years. I had planned to replace the take but the character and sentiment of using that guitar worked, so I kept it! The rest was recorded in a home studio in Aus.

Lately I’ve been dreaming again
Kind of a dangerous thing to do
Last time I ran blind into the darkness
Betting that I’d find the light
Waited for the world to send its riches
To follow me close behind

But the world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

All I wanted was everything
To quiet that voice inside
So with hard work and all I learned
I put it all on the line
Waited for the world to do the decent thing
And give me all I desire

Still the world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

Lately I’ve been dreaming again
But this time I’m bulletproof
Cos every wrong turn I ever made
They all led me to you
Now I see the world gave me plenty
And I’m thankful every night

That the world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind
The world had other ideas
Other ideas in mind

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you can help me?
What could it mean?

I was on this big stage
And I’m singing proudly
With ten thousand people cheering out my name

They seem to love me
It feels amazing
And I play as good a show as ever been played

Now afterwards this older guy
appears in the room
He’s not my dad but represents my dad
He tells me that he’s proud of me
He gives me a hug
And that was when I woke up
Crying tears upon my bed

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you could help me?
What could it mean?

Ten thousand people
Daddy seems to be proud
What could it mean?
What could it mean?

Dreams can be so strange

Now I’m in the future
And the world’s on fire
They burned the oil
And tore down all the trees

My daughter’s daughter
Played by Olivia Colman
She got ocean water
Rising up to her knees

But I can save the planet
If I go back in time
With Tom Morello
From Rage Against The Machine

Our plan was going well
Until I killed my younger self
And that was when I woke up
Feeling sure I must be dead

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you can help me?
What could it mean?

Our planet dying
Colman up to her knees
What could it mean?
What could it mean?

Dreams can be so strange

Now I’m at the station
It’s strangely quiet
I think I’m here to beg you not to leave

Suddenly it’s nighttime
At a different station
When I see you waiting by your train

Now as I’m saying sorry
Your body transforms
Into a thousand tiny flecks of brilliant light

I wished I loved you better
While you were still mine
And that was when I woke up
And I turned to you and said

So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you could help me?
What could it mean?

Could have loved you better
But I realised it too late
What could it mean?
What could it mean?
