Born in Kentucky and raised on the Wyoming plains, Shelby Means is one damn talented upright bass player and vocalist.

Featuring her partner, Joel Timmons, this field recording feels like sitting on a porch, watching the cars drive by while someone gently tells you a story.Her voice carries both a grounded earthiness and a sense of soaring freedom. Combined with deep, steady bass lines, she weaves intimacy and strength together, making this song feel personal and alive.

Lyrics:
My eyes are cryin’ the wind is sighing
Even the birds know my pain
Chained to the sky tethered though they try
To be free even birds long to be
Not chained to the sky endlessly
My mind is heavy the sun is steady
Even the mountains agree
Anchored to the land, chipping into sand
Gravity even rocks long to leave
Not chained to the ground endlessly
On the high plains
Oh I am so lonely out here in Wyoming
Tonight the moon dressed in black
On the high plains I ride a pistol by my side
On the high plains I ride
The hour is wasting your loving I’m craving
Even the moon knows my pain
No touching no tasting forever chasing your light
I am trapped in a trace
I am chained to an old memory
On the high plains
Oh I am so lonely out here in Wyoming
Tonight the moon dressed in black
On the high plains I ride pistol by my side
On the high plains
On the high plains
On the high plains I ride
