Into The Wind

from I Think I Am by Colette O'Connor

/

about

This is an upbeat charming ballad of a girl and her horse growing up together. The freedom and abandon of the complex finger style acoustic is breathtaking. You can actually feel the horse galloping. The lyrics are smart, poignantly told from a mother's point of view as she watches them ride together. The music takes you along and lets you feel the connection. The female singer has a wonderful voice, strong and clear.

lyrics

A filly foaled at dawn
My daughter had seen the wonder
and instantly made the bond
They would ride- into the wind.

This is a tale
Combed and braided
A filly and girl who share a spirit.

Growing up, sure enough
The year they played was plenty
To teach the trust and love
They would ride,
Into the Wind.

Working on the farm,
After the chores comes freedom
in pastures from the barn
They would ride- into the wind.

This is a tale
Combed and braided
A filly and girl who share a spirit.

There’s only one stretch of time
Youth is alive with passion
I feel it racing by
As they ride- into the wind.

Warm night
Porch light,
Dinner’s waiting
But I smile, with pride
Watching them ride

Thunder of hooves at night
The crest of the moon to light them
Capturing souls in flight
As they ride- into the wind.

This is a tale, combed and braided
A filly and girl share a spirit.
