Description
The opening song for the MJ Grand Ole Opry Challenge - Texan boys aren't the only ones who are quick off the mark Dolly :) Anyway, it's July 1st here in Oz!
This was written by Ian Robins in 1972, and is the first song with a vocal I ever posted at MJ in 2005, and I'd always threatened to redo it.
Live tracks are vocals, bass, 6 string acoustic guitar, 12-string acoustic and Telecaster leads. Not live are mandolin, fiddle and banjo - drums are DoD.
I'm conscious of a high harmony that isn't there, but every time I tried to sing it I had a coughing fit, so I'm afraid you'll have to sing it yourself - a little audience participation.
Interestingly, since posting "On Reflection", I've made contact with Ian, who is alive and well and living in the mountains in B.C. Canada. I'm kind of hoping we can do something together at some stage.
Marastique lives!

I Have Wandered
(C) Ian Robins 1972
I have wandered through this world unnoticed
and at the age of 25 I've seen it all
You've just got to have someone to keep you company
Cause there aint no point in going on alone
I've seen mountains in the north a distant purple
And I've ridden waves down where they meet the sea
My eyes have seen the western plains and rivers
And the snow-capped mountains south have captured me
Don't worry if you're down and feeling despersate
And the road you're on just makes you want to crawl
Cause it's 10:1 she's waiting round the next bend
And before you know it love has conquered all
Love has conquered all
I have wandered through this world unnoticed
and at the age of 25 I've seen it all
You've just got to have someone to keep you company
Cause there aint no point in going on alone
But of all the beauties that this land can show you
There is one place that I know can beat them all
That's the place where your own true love is standing
That's the time when you'll be standing 10 feet tall
Feeling 10 feet tall
(C) Ian Robins 1972

And the snow-capped mountains south have captured me
Don't worry if you're down and feeling despersate
And the road you're on just makes you want to crawl
Cause it's 10:1 she's waiting round the next bend
