lyrics
too much (courtney hartman)
soft moon rising far from my home
i cannot concentrate on the task at hand
any better than i can when i'm alone on familiar land
this ought to be easy is what i thought
but i've never caught a falling star on camera
or kept a firefly alight in a jar
so keep me up all night if you must
through the day and into the dusk
i can't help but over analyze and criticize myself
too much too much too soon
use a symphony of crickets or a distant engine sound
i don't mind what it takes just drown the voices out
use the pain beneath my feet to put the words into my mouth
wherever and whatever it must take now
(instrumental chorus)
the rain is driving, my hands feel old
everyone is asking if i'm tired of the cold
i guess that i am
but my roots need water and my branches need the wind
i'll come in, i'll come in when i can
just keep me up all night if you must
through the day and into the dusk
i don't want to over analyze and criticize myself
too much too much too soon
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
