about

Introducing the album theme, FRONTIER turns waltz time into a reggae tinged synth groove, worlds away from the original version released on Russell's 1996 COMIN' THRU album. Even the most intimate relationships have frontiers, which are often hard to navigate.

lyrics

FRONTIER - lyrics by Benjamin Russell

Can you tell me a picture or draw me a story
Illustrating the way to your heart?
Can you make me a diagram or some kind of map
Of the frontier that keeps us apart?
Mark it in red where the boundary lies
And I'll be very careful with my inner eye
I will follow the rivers that lead to your soul

At the top of a mountain, looking over a canyon
There's a deep and bottomless pool
You could climb up there with me, we'd dip in together
The water refreshing and cool
I dreamed it last night as you slept on my bed
And I got up and wrote down before they had fled
All the visions, I wanted to share them with you

I know the phantoms have given us fear
But let's trust the angels for they've led us here
For they have led us here

Smile and touch me, encourage my quest
And explain to your heart that I'm doing my best
To be more than a lover, more than a man, be your friend
Your best friend
