About the artist

We came from separate and varying experiences. We journeyed through our own jungles and grappled with the cosmic sense of it all, and continue to do so. In the name of adventure we set out to ask questions we were uncertain would be answered. Through all of our failures and triumphs we eventually found each other. Unlike the true romance magazines might have you believe, we did not fall in love at first sight. Everybody had to make an effort to reach out to each person in order to give the band a chance to even be thought of as one in the first place. Miles of driving over snowy passes, flooded valley's, and deer ridden highways along with the same sense of adventure we possessed before we knew each other got us to where we are today. We are a band but we are a people. We now look towards the snowy passes and miles of highway so we can present our craft to all the other adventurers out there. We are Wind Fields, and we're heading your way.

Lyrics

I was born and I was raised.
Sped through my twenties in a sleeping bag.
I tried doing what my daddy said.
He said be a good man and that's what I did.

Now good luck comes and hard luck goes.
If you quit believing what you think you know.
Bored to tears then bored to death.
Well that's what happens when there's nothing left.

Now you can live it up like rock and roll.
Or you can face your fears and let it go.
It's hard to live down them golden years.
You learn one day you don't shed those tears.

Now rock me momma and butter my soul.
It's easy living if you live it slow.
Grab a friend don't be afraid.
It's the only way through this parade.

Well I was born and I was raised.
