Shadows in the Sunset - West Coast AI (Folk Rock) (Rerelease)

Подробнее о видео

"Shadows in the Sunset" tells the story of a journey across the American West, capturing the spirit of exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of dreams. It reflects on the loss of the untamed frontier as modernization and expansion transformed the landscape. The song evokes themes of nostalgia, the fading beauty of the Wild West, and the enduring legacy of those who chased their dreams in a land that was slowly slipping away, with vivid imagery of sunsets, mountains, rivers, and the open plains.

This is a rerelease of a song I released a while ago. The music have been remastered and I have added a lyrics video.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
In the dawn’s early light, we saddled up to ride
From the East Coast’s bustling towns to the wide and wild side
We followed the rivers, where the buffalo roamed
Chasing dreams on the prairies, in search of a home

Verse 2:
Through valleys and mountains, under stars we would sleep
In the heart of the Rockies, where the land’s secrets keep
We battled the storms and the deserts so dry
With the call of the West always lighting our sky

Pre-Chorus:
But as the railroads came, and the cities grew
The wild frontier began to lose its hue
With every mile we conquered, something slipped away
The spirit of the West fading day by day

Chorus:
Oh, the West we knew, where the eagles flew
The land of the brave and the few
But the dreams we chased, in the wide-open space
Are now shadows in the sunset’s hue

Verse 3:
In the gold rush of dreams, we staked our claim
But the rivers of fortune only brought us pain
For every nugget found, a piece of land was sold
And the stories of the wild became tales of old

Pre-Chorus:
But as the railroads came, and the cities grew
The wild frontier began to lose its hue
With every mile we conquered, something slipped away
The spirit of the West fading day by day

Chorus:
Oh, the West we knew, where the eagles flew
The land of the brave and the few
But the dreams we chased, in the wide-open space
Are now shadows in the sunset’s hue

Verse 4:
As we stand on the edge of the Western sea
With the sun setting down, it’s just you and me
Remember the trails and the tales that were spun
In the land of the West, where the journey was won
Where the journey was won…

Bridge:
The last frontier, it slips through our hands
Like the golden sands in a desert land
But the spirit remains, in the heart of the brave
In the tales we tell, it’s the West we’ll save

Chorus:
Oh, the West we knew, where the eagles flew
The land of the brave and the few
But the dreams we chased, in the wide-open space
Are now shadows in the sunset’s hue

Final Chorus:
Oh, the West we lost, what a heavy cost
Where the rivers ran wild and free
Though the land is tamed, the memories remain
In the shadows of the dreams we see
