k.d.lang & The Reclines - Pullin' Back The Reins 1990

Old video clip so quality isn't wonderful.
LYRICS
out of nowhere this gust of wind
brushed my hair and kissed my skin
i aimed to hold a bridled pace
when with love itself i came face to face

pullin' back the reins
trying to remain
tall in a saddle
when all that we had well
ran away
with a will of its own

i know your soul is wild and free
like this galloiong inside me
tossed by instinct and where we land
is vast and certain of all that's planned

you know, i learned to break the run
and gently harness the love of someone
yes, and equal parts of wait and trust
is in control of the both of us

Absolutely electrifying!

@magicwandaful It is a great performance - always one of those songs that standout when sung live.

[TheLJdragonfly]

Thank you! This one gives me goosebumps all over.... Seeing her sing it live is even more amazing!

[TheLangChannel]

@TheLJdragonfly Definitely one of her best songs and I know what you mean about the goosebumps !!

This was Feb 23rd, 1990 on the Aresnio Hall Show. Thats me on drums. This was one of two songs we did that night, the other was Bull By The Horns. It's also posted here on YT. We were all so pumped to be there, and the band was at it's musical peak. Heady days indeed.Incidentally, the Arsenio show was a great experience, really good people to work with, great vid crew, and the catering put all other shows to shame. They made us feel so welcome.

@taskmule I saw it "live" on TV and I remember how blown away I was! I was a fan, right there and then... and went out and got the "Ultimate Torch and Twang" album! :-) Thanks for your background information... it's nice to remember that experience from 1990!

@taskmule This has to be some kind of historic appearance. Everything is definitely on, smooth, and like it's supposed to be.
