Open The Door

from Dreamland by Jennifer Maidman

/

about

The way out is through the middle.
A song about opening up to a power greater than ourselves.
The feel is influenced by my love for the loose, loping, country style grooviness of Little Feat, Levon Helm, the Band. Funky horns, spiky guitar. Check out Jerry's kick pattern in the intro .Drumming don't get funkier.
In the out section we go all Latin while Annie and David stretch out to infinity.

lyrics

Please don't believe the things you heard
I understand your every word
I wait behind the darkest door
I am the ship I am the shore
And I'll always be here is you call me
Behind the pleasure and the pain
Although you'll never ever see me
I'll bring the fire and the rain to blow your troubles away

Some things you never learn to say
After the night before the day
Without a reason or a rhyme
Without a place without a time
And I'll always be here is you call me
Behind the pleasure and the pain
Although you'll never ever see me
I'll bring the fire and the rain to blow your troubles away

When you can't get under
And you can't go round
When you can't over
You gotta open the door
Open the door wide open

I wonder if we're heading out to Renegades Ridge?
'Cos messages cross the bridge in the language of thirteen

Blow your troubles away
