Wide As The Prairie Skies
Liner Notes
#fakeit challenge! So I heard a bunch of awesome versions of this song then I wanted to also do one. Please to enjoy!
Lyrics
C D G C D G C D Chorus: It's time to open up my heart G Wide as the prairie skies C D It's time to look at the world G With some brand new eyes C D Too long I've been sitting in the darkness G Em And I've needed light C D It's time to open up my heart G Wide as the prairie skies
Em C
V1: I'm turning off the TV news D G I'm shutting down the mobile phone Em C All this doomscrolling is the death of me D It just makes me feel more alone
V2: I'm stepping out the front door I'm going to breathe some fresh air See the good things happening around me It's time that I learned to care
Chorus: It's time to open up my heart Wide as the prairie skies It's time to look at the world With some brand new eyes Too long I've been sitting in the darkness And I've needed light It's time to open up my heart Wide as the prairie skies
V3: I'm going to walk through nature I'll just enjoy it cuz it's there Appreciate the small things round me Because there's glory everywhere
V4: I'm going to eat some good food I'm going to learn to be healthy And care for others like I should now Find pleasure in simplicity
Chorus
Bridge: Em It might not change the world G But it can change my mind Em And that's the kind of change F That it's awful nice to find
Chorus (repeat to end)

Good imagery, good plan. Wish more people were open to having their mind changed.

The guitar is awesome on this, it brings out the urgent aspect of lyrics. Isn’t it great how many different versions of this song have been made!

That is some frantic guitar playing! Amazing that you can sing so well while doing that! Rockin!

That guitar intensity is awesome. I love how different melodically your take is from the others I've heard! Nice job.

Andy Mckee if he was a pop artist is what vibe this gave me. This is a really cool challenge, I’m glad to hear your take on it. I gotta check the others out! Really cool outro line after obliterating your guitar in the outro chorus sections for the last minute. Always awesome to hear your music!

I found this on Random, while I was working on a song. Your jangly guitar playing grabbed me. So I've spent the last 15 minutes jamming along with you. Great playing, great voice, great song.
