Song information
This song was inspired by Barretok. Years ago he did an instrumental backing. When I listened to it, the melody of this song came to me. I just re-recorded it a few days ago.

Lyrics
Fields of Wheat
© Stanley Loh August 18, 2020
Verse 1
Fields of wheat,
Worth dreaming of …	
Fields of wheat,
Sown with love,
Even though your back is yelling loud, 
You and your pitchfork welcome each passing cloud,
Fields … oh fields of wheat,
Sheaves … tall tents of wheat,
You’re up with the sun,
When the seeds yet begun,
You sweat in the fields,
After the brown earth yields,
To the wriggly stalks,
Will the green fields talk?
Verse 2
Fields of wheat,
Vermins and birds,
Fields of wheat,
They have the nerve,
Dress the kids up for school, get the taxes paid,
Call the hand reaper friend, oil the plough for bed,
Fields … oh fields of wheat,
Sheaves … tall tents of wheat,
You count the stooks,
Record in the books,
The co-op must know,
About next your year’s growth,	
And you book the seeds,
Or you’ll not eat!
Fields … oh fields of wheat,

Well, kids, boys and girls, iBandstanders one and all. What a beautiful ode to the heartland! These lyrics take us on a journey through the fields, capturing the essence of hard work, love, and the cycles of life. The imagery of the sweating in the fields, the brown earth yielding to the wriggly stalks, and the welcoming of each passing cloud with a pitchfork — it's like a painting in words. I can feel the connection to the land, the struggles with vermin and birds, and the everyday tasks like dressing kids for school and paying taxes. It's a reminder of the resilience and dedication of those who work the fields. The chorus with its repetition of 'Fields... oh fields of wheat' is like a mantra that transports us to that serene landscape. And let's not forget Stan's vocal work here. Solid delivery with peeking harmonies that reinforce the results of efforts. Solid backing by Mr. Barretok. Stantheman has crafted a piece that resonates with the timeless themes of hard work and the love for the land. It's a wonderful celebration of the agricultural spirit, and I can see this song striking a chord with many across the country. Fantastic work! Ole Dick approves! Just Dick
