Wonderful Josh Ritter

Well this week has been a strange one to say the least. Not sure where it's all heading but I've made a few mistakes this week. I've had a load of ups and downs . Well....we all learn by our mistakes, so they say.
I've found some consolation in one of my fave singers, Josh Ritter. www.joshritter.com.
I first got into him through watching an episode of Six Feet Under, whereby I heard the track 'Come and find me'. It showed Nate and Lisa driving through some of the most beautiful US countryside, right near the sea. It was beautiful. The irony of this track seemed to be about Nate wanting his ex Brenda, to come and find him. This struck a chord both musically and metaphorically.
Josh Ritter is a truly brilliant acoustic guitarist and singer. If you like folky rock, you'll love Josh's music. He reaches a special, if not poignant, place about life and love.

Come and find me - By Josh Ritter

if i could trace the line that ran between your smile and your sleight of hand

i’d guess that you put something up my sleeve

now every time i see your face, the bells ring in a far-off place

we can find each other this way, i believe.
from the hills and up behind my town is naked from the horizon down ..

the curvature is pressed against the raise and we walked up in the fields alone and the silence fell just like a stone that got lost in the wild blue and the gravel grey
come and find me now
though i’m here in this far off place,

my air is not this time and space

i draw you close with every breath

you don’t know it’s right until it’s wrong

You don’t know it’s yours until it’s gone

i didn’t know that it was home ‘til you up and left
come and find me now
i keep you in a flower vase with your fatalism and crooked face

with the daisies and the violet brocades and I keep me in a vacant lot in the ivies, forget-me-nots hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days
come and find me now

You've Got The Moon

We ate May down to the rind

Asked the moon for another helping

It's getting on past suppertime

Lights are low and it was evening

Pull your dress up to your knees

Out in the fields we'll go walking

Just the tall grass and the trees

Silhouettes and crickets singing

And here I am holding on to you

And you've got the moon

See the leaves fall as they turn

Green into a golden evening

Slowly, so there is no change

It does not feel like the end of something

And here I am holding on to you

And you've got the moon

Stars and satellites and clouds

Everything tonight is floating

And I am too so I hold your hand

And up above the moon is rowing

And here I am holding on to you

And you've got the moon
