Dambreaker What does a singer-songwriter do when the world seemingly closes due to a global pandemic? Write. Write. Write. Write some more. What better offering to give the world of 2020 than what Mandy Prater has set out to do with this track. The longing and yearning for "normalcy" with catch vibes are just what the doctor ordered.

about

A hopeful tune about escaping everyday life during pandemic-times. Its catchy melodies and relatable lyrics transport the listener to a more carefree era.

This song became the most-requested tune in my live-stream shows, and my supporters crowdfunded a recording.

ON THE OUTSIDE
Words and Music by Mandy Prater
Copyright 2020

No bars on these windows
But I’ve been locked away
And I just had this feeling
I need to escape
I don't know if there's something wrong
But nothing’s really right
I’m sitting in a tunnel
Looking for the light

'Cause I just want to run
Where I don’t have to hide
Get into the sun
Meet me on the outside
Before I come undone
I wanna take a ride
We already won
You can meet me on the outside
Meet me on the outside

Put some Zeppelin on the stereo
Get the hell outta town
Racing down the backroads
With no one else around
Let's go find that place again
Where we used to wait for trains
And empty out this ruination
Rattling around my brain

'Cause I just want to run
Where I don’t have to hide
Get into the sun
Meet me on the outside
Before I come undone
I wanna take a ride
We already won
You can meet me on the outside
Meet me on the outside

How can this day get better
It’s feeling like a shot in the dark
How can this day get better
When’s the last time you just looked up
At the stars
At the stars

No bars on these windows
But I've been locked away
And I just had this feeling
I need to escape...

'Cause I just want to run
Where I don’t have to hide
Get into the sun
Meet me on the outside
Before I come undone
I wanna take a ride
We already won
You can meet me on the outside

I just want to run
Where I don’t have to hide
Get into the sun
Meet me on the outside
Before I come undone
I wanna take a ride
We already won
You can meet me on the outside

Meet me on the outside
Meet me on the outside
Meet me on the outside
