Lyrics
Wilderness In the City

© copyright 2015 jdorrance

1-
The Wilderness in the City
 The backwoods I am from;
For a place that holds 2 million
I'm 2 million one

A reluctant nonconformist
A secluded state of being;
Annexed from the union
Of basic human need

Wilderness, world weary wilderness..

I am a pioneer;
 Queen of the lost frontier


(short music break)

bridge:
The harsh bleach of the sun rays
The vagrants I pass by;
Their bedroom is the sidewalk
Their ceiling is the sky

I am the pioneer:
Queen of the lost frontier

(short music break)

2.The wilderness of the city;
When you trek out of your shell;
You say hello but no one hears you
So you chat up with yourself
Then you hide inside the music
For the moment, you give thanks;
You're not so bad off after all
In your isolation tank

Wilderness, world weary wilderness
( music break)

I am a pioneer;
Queen of the lost frontier

Nice song.  Great lyrics.  Describes perfectly what it must be like for some.  Millions around, but a lonely wilderness. Sidewalk is their bed, sky is their ceiling.  Nobody talks to you so you chat with yourself.  Paints a picture for sure.

Great vocals, as usual, with great lyrics.  I like the chords involved.  For some reason, C minor was always my favorite.  Pretty cool song, overall.  Guitar sound is pretty cool too.

@Venturesome  Thank you very much for your insight. Glad the virtual guitar sounds decent to you as midis tend to have a midi-ish guitar sound to them- I tweaked alot
