So Pitted

Another one of my so called sketches... &#13;
&#13;
‘A Sketch Of The New Frontier’ was recorded over a few late night sessions (and a few late night drinks) in early November 2012. A close friend of mine described the track as fever dream road music. I must say I agree with that description.&#13;
&#13;
The track is very atmospheric and unrelenting. In this case, traditional song writing took a back seat to creating a mood. It is supposed to conjure up imagery of windswept highways, savagery and lawless lands. I obviously had the Australian Outback in mind, but it could just as easily be America.&#13;
&#13;
The music itself has elements of rockabilly, rock, jazz, blues and country. On a basic level I think people will compare it to bands like The Doors – granted, the influence of The Doors is unmistakable in this number. However, I was equally influenced by Miles Davis’ ‘Bitches Brew’. For those familiar with that landmark album I think you’ll know what I mean (for instance, I love the way that the lap steel and harmonica drift in and out). I know a lot people say that their music should be listened to with headphones, but this one really should be listened to with cans on.&#13;
&#13;
To be fair, the track is more of an extended jam than a song. Even the lyrics are just there to add ambiance. Think of it as an exercise in mood and let your ears go with the flow.&#13;
&#13;
By the way, for someone who isn’t a real keyboard player I must say that I was in fine form on the keys (even with my limited ability). Check out my little solo at approx 2:20 or there about. I was very proud.&#13;
&#13;
Hope you enjoy.&#13;

LYRICS...&#13;
  &#13;
This land turns boys into men&#13;
This land grinds men into dust&#13;
This land speaks a violent truth&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
&#13;
Welcome...&#13;
&#13;
This land knows nothing of God&#13;
This land has blood in its sand&#13;
This land reeks of lust and revenge&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
&#13;
Welcome...&#13;
&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
Welcome to the new frontier&#13;
