lyrics

I’ve been walking around this town
And I’ve decided I don’t ever wanna be another face in the crowd
I’ve been talking to people I meet
Saying, “I’ve been thinking about leaving and I’m taking next to nothing with me”

And I know that public opinion says that I should settle down
But there’s something inside my heart that fights against the crowd

And it is wild
Wild I Am

I’ve been thinking of things I don’t know
And I’m not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go
You’ve got your convictions and I’ve got mine
But if you’re trying to tame the lion in me it’ll be a waste of your time

And I know that public opinion says to be a realist
But if you tame the beast in me, then I would not exist

Cause I am wild
Wild, wild, I am

I always find it hard to ascertain
Why it is that I feel this way
When my whole life is in disarray
The future makes me feel alive
I’ve always known the romantic side
Of not knowing where I’ll sleep at night
I can’t stand when my hands are tied
My bed the ground, my roof the sky

Wild, wild, wild, I am

Patterns in the Static
by The Classic Crime

supported by 97 fans who also own “Wild I Am”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.

How to Be Human
by The Classic Crime

supported by 53 fans who also own “Wild I Am”

Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library

Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018

Hard Times
by John Donne

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
