The Lost Ark Studio presents "O! Grace" a tribute cover of a Jason Molina song by The Donkeys, one of the more special songs we've recorded at the studio. Originally recorded for "Weary Engine Blues", a tribute compilation for Jason Molina, the guys at Graceface Records have given us permission to release the song here as well - we're so glad to be able to share this track with you, and to share Jason's songs and story, enjoy this beautiful track.

Jason Andrew Molina (December 16, 1973 – March 16, 2013) was an American musician and singer-songwriter, originally from Lorain, Ohio. He came to prominence performing and recording as Songs: Ohia, both in solo projects and with a rotating cast of musicians. Since 2003, he had recorded either under his own name or with a stable line-up of band members as the Magnolia Electric Co.

"Very rarely do you run into a star that burns as brightly as Jason. When he is also your brother you are truly blessed. To fans of Jason’s music we want you to know you were the center of Jason’s universe, you meant everything to him. As much as his music inspired others, he was constantly and honestly inspired by you. From the Molina family, from the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for the outpouring of support and send our condolences to his fans and friends." Aaron Molina, Jason's brother

O! Grace - Jason Molina

She said "I've been the stockyard's pony"
She said "I've been the mountain engine's roll
From Chicago to West Virginia,
I've been as lonesome as the world's first ghost
As lonesome as the world's first ghost

But out here even the prairie doubts the horizon
All I have to do is prove that I'm not pure
Oh, the right words come,
But I ain't talking
The devil's mean but he's honest just as sure
Oh, he is honest just as sure"

Oh Grace, if you stop believing
That don't mean that it just goes away
It's a long way between horizons
And it gets farther every day
Ohhhhh, Grace
Woooooah, Grace

Oh Grace, if you stop believing
That don't mean it just goes away
It's a long way between horizons
And it gets farther every day
Ohhhhh, Grace
Woooooah, Grace

She says "But I know a man whose heart is restless
He's never home, and he's never gone
And he had some good things
But he lost them
Like everything he ever set his heart on
Oh, that he set that heart upon

Oh boy, if you stop believing
That don't mean that I just walked away
It's a long way between horizons
And it gets farther everyday"
Oh, Grace
Oooooh, Grace

Highway Bound - Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash

Ever since I could remember
there's been an engine inside of me
To rock n roll and ramble
was an endless aching need
I loved and lost on the twisted roads
and was born in the fire and steel
sang the blues and paid my dues
just to prove that I was real

Now there ain't a stretch of highway
there ain't a little town
There ain't a country road or a city street
these wheels they ain't rolled down
I loved and lost on the twisted roads
and was born in the fire and steel
drug my soul to parts unknown
just to prove that I was real

Oh it’s a beautiful sound
when the road hits the rubber
and the wheels turn round
Don't try to stop me I can't slow down
I'm a wild one baby and I'm highway bound

Going down any road I feel
Watching the world through my windshield
I got one eye on the rear view
and a long way to go

I got the radio blasting
I got the wind in my hair
I got my eyes on the horizon
I'm gonna find what's waitin' out there

Oh it’s a beautiful sound
when the road hits the rubber
and the wheels turn round
Don't try to stop me I can't slow down
I'm a wild one baby and I'm highway bound

New Old Story - Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash

We been out here way too long searching for a brand new song and trying
to hold it all together and keep from going crazy off the rails
And the honky-tonks I've played them all from shopping malls to concert halls I've done em'
I'm not proud of things I've done but I'm proud of the man that I've become
And the goodbyes always come too soon in off the highway hotel rooms you wonder
if the chance of living free is just a smoky memory 
The road is the only place that feels like home

Don't count me out there's a lot of love left in this heart of mine
Don't shoot me down for taking the chance and betting on myself
For all the miles between running down my dream 
I'm just a new old story coming back around

Now the ones who came before me been up and down these roads the same as me
living just for giving and trying to find a place where they belong
And the women come and the women go they love you but it’s only for a while
They can't fight the loneliness living with the second best 
or the rambling fever deep down in my soul

Don't count me out there's a lot of love left in this heart of mine.
Don't shoot me down for taking the chance and betting on myself
For all the things I've seen running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around

Don't count me out there's a lot of love left in this heart of mine.
Don't shoot me down for taking the chance and betting on myself
For all the miles between running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around 
For all the things I've seen running down my dream
I'm just a new old story coming back around

Out to Sea – 22 Kings

So there I was, head in hand. Leaning on the break of light.
I wanted love, I wanted life. I wanted the truth and not a fight

I want a love, I want what's right. If it's not you I wanna be ok despite
This love we grew, redefined. Opened doors into the darkness I knew

So let me go, won't you let me go
Oh....
Oh...

So there I was, head in hand. Standing next to you I knew
That I want to smile, lord I wanna laugh. I want to scream each day till death
But I'm not holdin' out. You've set me free. I'll carry fire for you out to sea

So let me go, won't you let me go. Just let me go
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...

Never Let You Go - Alex Woodard

i can talk about redemption
i can talk about the pain
of watching my best friend
slip away in the soft summer rain
 
but i don't know how to tell you
what i want you to know
when i wrap my arms around you tonight
i may never let you go
no i may never let you go
 
because you make me a better man
you make me stand tall
high above this steel wire tonight
like it don't matter at all
 
but i don't know how to tell you
what i want you to know
when i wrap my arms around you tonight
i may never let you go
no i may never let you go
 
let the sun sink low
 
i will try to show you
what i want you to know
when i wrap my arms around you tonight
i may never let you go
i may never let you go
no i may never let you go

Rising - Trouble In The Wind

I'm not afraid of nothing
I'm winning in my way
no more waiting on tomorrow
this dog will have its day
and danger don't discourage
the deed's yet to be done
I'm rising now without you
I'm rising with the sun

head is on wrong
hand on my heart
out on my own i guess

head is on wrong
hand on my heart
waving goodbye again

I live in this illusion
there's better days ahead
no more lying in my dark room
a light is on instead

I'm not a friend to no man
I love who I have become
I'm rising now above you
I'm rising with the sun

head is on wrong
hand my heart
out on my own I guess

head is on wrong
hand my heart
waving goodbye again

Going Home (On The River Hand) - River City

Hollowed out and entangled between the woods and the city lights
You feel and touch and you burn and you break and you fall back into your eyes
Visions mounting on the back of time
Everybody’s checking out just fine
All alone but I’m sticking close by
These river hands, these restless, restless nights

Waking up with the cats clawing at the door and you so calm and quiet
Rolling over, rolling under, rolling around the thick air of desire
Covers wrinkled laying on the floor
Your hair disheveled makes me want you more
But I still feel alone so I’m sticking close by
These river hands that hold me tight

Until my lungs are filled
With sand and bone and rock and silt
On the banks of the river, I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home

River City - Going Home (On The River Hand)

My cover of Faithfully by Journey. Just want to share :) Enjoy~
