I Would Be Wild
I Would Be Wild
I would be wild; I would not be tamed.
Snap all the whips
Shatter the chains,
That which was lost can be reclaimed.
I would be wild. I would not be tamed.
Wild as the waves in the wind-whipped night.
Sparkling spray in the gentle starlight.
Finding my rest on a distant shore
Flotsam & jetsam forevermore.
I would be wild; I would not be tamed.
Snap all the whips
Shatter the chains,
That which was lost can be reclaimed.
I would be wild. I would not be tamed.
Running wild as the vixen runs,
Cloaked in the night until morning comes.
Senses on fire, wild blood in my veins.
Feral & free; untamed I remain.
M8
Pulse of the heart, pulse of the sea.
Pulse of the soul as it longs to be free x2
I would be wild; I would not be tamed.
Snap all the whips
Shatter the chains
That which was lost will be reclaimed
I would be wild. I would not be tamed.
I would be wild, ad lib….
Oooh I love “snap a the whips, shatter the chains”. Great song, and sounds better each time I listen.
Sozz, I commented on the Facebook page but forgot to do so on this site.There are some incredible images in here – poetry as much as lyrics, with some killer rhymes. Great job, as ever .Cheers.
Full of rich imagery. I love the changes between verse and chorus. You are a very soulful writer….
I love it! You always manage to sound steeped in the folk tradition, but at the same time fresh and modern Great poetic language. You have my vote!
Loved this… beautiful melody. I just found a very folky song from a few years ago that use the same chord structure in the verse. This is waaaaay better.
This is right up my street Suzanne. The dark undertones of the verse and lightness in the chorus are great. Fab job!!
Thank you all for such encouraging, supportive comments! I
Must admit that, after posting-and then posting the wrong video clip ?-I’ve not checked back until now. What a lovely bunch you are! I’m off now to catch up with all the other submissions on here &
be inspired! ?
Beautiful as always. So many beautiful lines and gorgeous chords choices.
Beautiful as ever Suzanne, love the minor to major shift. Remain untamed!!
Absolutely stunning (again), fab lyric, great melody and smashed the performance!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to listen once again and bother to comment. I don’t know if any of these songs I write will ever go further than this forum, but the simple act of writing, performing & posting them is therapy & its own reward. ?
Nice melody. I like the senses on fire / feral verse. I wanted to use that word in my effort! But it didn’t fit in.
