About my amazing younger daughter (both my kids are amazing btw) Wilder. I didn't want to write a song about one child because I'd be in deep shit. This one is about the sometimes trying but mostly adorable contrarian in our family.

lyrics

Safe outrageous
Color - full of life
Afraid courageous
Just say goodnight
Tried and tested
Holding on today
Tired and rested
Just close your eyes and wait
Counter to the wind you went
You see the world and wonder why
The wings you wore were evidence
What won’t the wind do to keep you Wild?
Lost detected
Wonder - full of fire
True affected
Just say goodnight
Sane and able
Frayed at the seams
Course but stable
Just close your eyes and dream
Counter to the wind you went
You see the world and wonder why
The wings you wore were evidence
What won’t the wind do to keep you Wild?
The night is long
Hold your tongue
Tide us over

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro

It’s interesting to hear these songs in acoustic vs. electric. This band has been a wonderful addition to my collection. Douglas Swinford
