lyrics
january third (courtney hartman)
i said to myself take this slow
no need to rush a thing that will grow on its own
and we said to ourselves step carefully
carry your bodies upright and watch your feet
the river today was tinted green
it may have just been me seeing what i wanted to see
the color of going, the color of may
the color of wanting color when all is grey
why oh why in the night
do we turn and toss and turn
why oh why oh
why don't we ever learn
if the speed of light is the speed of dark
than is the speed of love the speed of the heart
why do we hesitate you know i could be
all of the things you say about me
oh why oh why in the night
do we turn and toss and turn
why oh why oh
why don't we ever learn
I don't listen to much country music, so I don't really know where this one lands, but I find it has some pretty good tunes and definitively good musicianship. Some of the songs mights soound a bit cheesy, but I enjoy this album overall nonetheless. The tunes which are more sounding like ballads get my preference, such as Northern Babe, and North Country Blues. Thibaut Devigne
This song came to via a Twitch streamer called FoothillRounders who pretty much plays the entire discography. The delicate and angsty lyric leads the listener down the path to the musical payoff that is Nightbird. coachshipley
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
Sweet harmonies & strummed melodies; the duo delve into decades-old folk, jazz, and country to find a timeless kind of love and connection. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018
It's just impeccably done. And, it doesn't have vocals, which means it's easier to listen while I work. :)
Last One on the Line is just amazing. I would love to hear more from this group. meatnordrink
