Outside of the Frame

from Spanish Island (2013​-​2016) by Eric & The Wabe

/

about

A friend told me how the youngest of his three daughters felt overlooked and under-appreciated compared to her older siblings. This inspired me to write the kind of ballad you find in Disney movies in which the heroine sings movingly about her aspirations and dreams. Special thanks to Italian composer Giuseppe Farace for his amazing orchestration.

lyrics

Just past the corner
Just off the page
Standing alone
Out of sight and unknown
Is a girl on a stage

Ready and waiting
No one calls her name
She's the girl you can't see
Cause she's standing outside of the frame

Heart on my sleeve
Can I make you believe
In the spark burning deep inside of me?
Beaming and shining

Ready to fly
Stake my claim to the sky
When I'm done everyone admiring me
Rising and climbing I reach for the sun

Burning desire
Inside aglow
Never impressing
So unprepossessing
You never would know

There in the shadows
Hope a dying flame
Is the girl you can't see
Cause she's standing outside of the frame

When will you see
Who I'm longing to be
Shooting star with the spotlight warming me
Dreaming and pining

Ready to soar
But I need something more
In your touch - in your smile - in your eyes
Soul set in motion my journey begins

When will you see
Who I'm longing to be?
Shooting star with the spotlight warming me
Dreaming and pining

Where do I start?
Find a place in your heart?
In your touch - in your smile - in your eyes
Soul set in motion my journey begins

Just past the corner
Just off the page
Standing alone out of sight and unknown
Is a girl on a stage

Yearning to show you
Hope a dying flame
She's the girl you can't see
Cause she's standing outside of the frame
There's a girl you can't see
Cause she's standing outside of the frame
I'm the girl you can't see
Cause I'm standing outside of the frame

about

Eric & The Wabe Phoenix, Arizona

I started writing songs in 1969 and continued until 1987, when I got married and had kids. In 2008 I returned to music and started writing songs and collaborating with musicians across the Web, most notably Amos Clarke, Alex Klidaras, and John Tabacco. I owe a debt of gratitude to them and to the many other musicians who have kindly provided me with tracks and encouragement since then. ... more
