“Trials, Troubles, Tribulations” is an American bluegrass gospel song written by Estil C. Ball. Here it is performed by Sounds of the South, a project featuring Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, Volcano Choir), Sharon Van Etten, Megafaun, Matthew E. White, and Fight the Big Bull. The project, organized by Megafaun, initially appeared at Duke Performances in North Carolina and MusicNOW in Cincinnati, Ohio, and subsequently traveled to Australia's Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House.

This is the first song from the compilation MusicNOW: 10 Years set for digital release on March 10th, 2015, just prior to the 10th edition of this eclectic music festival of the same name founded in 2006 by Bryce Dessner of The National. MusicNOW Festival set out with a mission to present the best in contemporary music, offer artists an opportunity to take risks, commission new work and attempt innovative collaborations.

The 16 track live album highlights festival-only surprises like Fleet Foxes leader Robin Pecknold playing the traditional song “Silver Dagger” for the first time, the debut performance of Grizzly Bear’s “While You Wait for the Others”, the premiere of Sufjan Stevens’ “The Owl & The Tanager”, as well as collaborations featuring Owen Pallett, Justin Vernon, Sharon van Etten, Tinariwen and Dirty Projectors.

Pre-orders for digital and physical formats will begin on Tuesday February 17th at http://bit.ly/musicnow10

“Many of my most significant memories as a musician have taken place in Cincinnati during the MusicNOW Festival over the last 10 years, “ says founder Bryce Dessner. “When we started, we were driven to create an intimate music festival that was as much a creative refuge for the artists as it is for the audience to partake in intimate and rare performances. We have celebrated works in progress and new commissions, new collaborations and detailed music of all kinds regardless of genre or popularity. “ 

Dessner is widely known as the guitarist for The National. Those a little more in the know are aware of Bryce’s work in performance projects (such as The Long Count) and classical composition (including his work with Brassland label artists Clogs). MusicNOW was founded as a way for Bryce to explore all facets of his artistic interests and has served as a collaborative laboratory that provides a friendly and supportive audience for internationally renowned artists. Through the years, Dessner has guided MusicNOW to become the premiere event for blurring the imagined lines that divide musical genres. 

This year’s MusicNOW festival will take place on March 11-15. For the full schedule and more details visit http://www.musicnowfestival.org


Sounds of the South: "Trials, Troubles, Tribulations"

You can close your eyes, I’ll close my eyes, pretend we’re asleep.
And we’re dreaming dreams, the sweetest dreams, and I start to speak,
But you place your fingers on my lips, words won’t do tonight,
Just the two of us, alone, one wint’ry night.

There’s a fire in the fireplace that chases the chill
And that sweet expression on your face will last me until
The last dying ember settles down, gone from red to white.
Just the two of us, alone, one wint’ry night.

INSTRUMENTAL

But you place your fingers on my lips, words won’t do tonight,
Just the two of us, alone, one wint’ry night.
And oh, how the fire glows, makes it just right.
Just the two of us, alone, one wint’ry night.

Just the Two of Us

Break The Silence  The Dig  Midnight Flower

In black and white in life and in death
She’s painting the sky, and I’m drawing breath after breath
If I knew her, maybe I’d know why it had to end
What a wonderful world, wouldn’t even let her turn ten

I bet she’s smiling in her sleep
At the fools who couldn’t watch her bleed
Far away, with the sun beneath her feet
She made it home, she wasn’t this world’s to keep

I don’t think anyone can explain
Why this is her now, and not me when I was her age
But Lord, I trust in your mysterious ways
What ends in darkness will rise above the flames

I bet she’s smiling in her sleep
At the fools who wouldn't watch her bleed
Far away, with the sun beneath her feet
She made it home, she wasn’t this world’s to keep.

Lyrics:
She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

There's a song in my heart,
let me play it through
this is how I feel, I know it's possibly true
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up
and stars will wait for her to shine
cause she can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same

She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

Stepping out, I look around
hoping that she's safe and sound
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up 
to keep her by the glow of his light
cause she can roam around the moon and back
and I know she'll stay the same.

Songs From A Matchbox

Raghav Meattle - She Can

She Can | Songs From A Matchbox

Annah’s Writen Piano 

Covering - Fickle Game by Amber Run

Horse Feathers - Curs In The Weeds

The never ending metaphorical night of misery is what 'Raat' is all about. You long for it to settle down for at least a moment so you can have your 'night' of rest, but it doesn't.
The song resolves into 'Zuhra', which translates to 'evening star(Venus)' in Urdu. It is a ray of hope - that maybe there might still be somebody somewhere who can save you from yourself.
The song ends with 'Asma' which means 'longing' in Urdu. You realise that the person that can save you from yourself is 'you' and 'you' alone. You long for the time so that you can have a conversation with yourself, talk through your issues and be happy that somebody is listening.
