Winds Of Wander
A Fine Frenzy · Pines [2012]
Lay lazy sun
Hanging heavy up above
Drown in the drowsy afternoon
In the green grass where yellow flowers bloom
The heart beats slow
And eyes will close, they'll close
Vise hands, loosen up the reins
That tight grasp won't save you any pain
Rock back and forwards with your breath
From this stone house, the home you've never left
The heartbeat slows
And eyes will close
Learn to float
Don't you worry so
Let the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go
Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow
Hanging heavy up above
Drown in the drowsy afternoon
In the green grass where yellow flowers bloom
The heart beats slow
And eyes will close, they'll close
Vise hands, loosen up the reins
That tight grasp won't save you any pain
Rock back and forwards with your breath
From this stone house, the home you've never left
The heartbeat slows
And eyes will close
Learn to float
Don't you worry so
Let the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go
Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow
Up and away we go
Where the winds of wander blow
Winds Of Wander
A Fine Frenzy's 'Winds Of Wander' serves as a haunting centerpiece on her 2012 album 'Pines.' The track exemplifies her signature blend of folk and indie pop, characterized by ethereal vocals and introspective songwriting that explores themes of displacement and longing. Released during a period where her discography increasingly focused on nature imagery and emotional vulnerability, the recording stands as a testament to her ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes. The song complements other tracks on the album, such as 'Sadseasong' and 'It's Alive,' contributing to a cohesive narrative of wandering and reflection that defines her work from the late 2000s through the early 2010s.
