When we think about the subject of "border" in our current political climate a bunch of issues pop up, especially those highlighted in the news. When you think about it though - the word can have a lot of meanings both literal and metaphorical. In its essence, a "border" is a boundary between two things, and I the concept is explored wonderfully by Mark Newman in his new song titled, incidentally, "At the Border.
The song has a deep and folky vibe - the low percussion almost has a cinematic quality and the addition of what sounds like a 12-string rhythm guitar really fills out the arrangement. The chorus then erupts into an anthem of "At the border, we can be free!" and it sounds like musically coming home. It is a long track, clocking in at about 6 minutes, but it's well worth the time.
