about

Wild Wild Country -

Meg says: I watched the Netflix documentary by Maclain and Chapman Way about the Rajneesh cult in Oregon - it’s mental. This is a song about it.

Fin says: Meg told me about the Wild, Wild Country Documentary. It is indeed mental. I’ve spent a lot of time on the internet trying to prove that the film is a spoof and that none of the incredible things that happened on the Big Muddy Ranch in Oregon ever happened. The local town of Antelope went from population 34 to population 7000 in less than a year. They build a 4200 foot runway. The legal battles raged, the rolls royces piled up and then some super crazy stuff went down including the largest biological warfare attack on US soil.

lyrics

Wild Wild Country

I was a fool and I rushed in
All tangled up in the heat of the movement
Worship the ground he’s walking
Measure up apricot robes I’m coming

One step further out from the drama
One step closer to my nirvana

I am open, I am empty
Take my money make me holy
Underneath an Oregon sky
Show me how to live my life

They’re moving earth they’re building
Beautiful people hollow and yearning
Osho is out in the Wild Wild Country
He’s in a Rolls Royce they’re growing hungry

Get your gun get with the program
Red rats run to protect the big man

I am open, I am empty
Take my money make me holy
Big Muddy gonna hypnotise
Show me how to live my life
Cross my legs and close my eyes
Sign up for a paradise
Underneath an Oregon sky
Show me how to live my life

Stop the attorney silence the weapons
Pure was the journey- ended in poison
Now it’s 84 and it’s over
Carried that can got no closure

One step further out from the nirvana
One step closer to all the drama

I am open, I am empty
Take my money make me holy
Big Muddy gonna hypnotise
Show me how to live my life
Cross my legs and close my eyes
Sign up for a paradise
Underneath an Oregon sky
Show me how to live my life

Show me how to live my life

about

Megan Henwood & Findlay Napier UK

Oxford's Megan Henwood and Glasgow's Findlay Napier met on a songwriting retreat at Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh in 2016.

“Fancy writing a song about maths?” Napier enquired. And so the seed for the Story Song Scientists was sewn.

They have toured this EP across the UK and their 2nd EP will be released alongside their November 2021 tour.
