The saddest song of All

Riding the crosstown 
I see my breath on the window, form a cloud  
Next to me, a seat that is vacant
but just for a moment, before you sit down

You turn to a crossword
Back of a magazine you had found
"Can you lend me a pen? Help with these questions?
See some are so simple, but some are profound"

Oh, how I wish I had one 
I wish I had the answers too 
You just smile say it's alright dear,
none of us do 

Ask where you’re going
to see it’s someplace that I could be going soon 
"Don’t you have a plan? 
A future thats written? somewhee you’re moving to?"

Oh how I wish i'd had one 
I wish I had the answers too 
You just smile, say its alright dear,
None of us do 


None of us 
None of us
None of us do 
Have the answers 
Have the answers

None of us
None of us
None of us do 
Have the answers 
Have the answers

But riding the crosstown
I see my breath on the window, form a cloud
Next to me, a seat that is vacant
But just for a moment, just for a moment

Album - Due Out Feb 2021. 
‘Caught in the Crossfire’ is the 2nd single from the forthcoming (recorded in Lockdown) 3rd studio album and is FFO Gregory Alan Isakov, Sufjan Stevens and Devendra Banhart. This album was recorded during this lockdown period 2019 #ClassofAWAL/TGE supported artist Michael Baker has been in the same house as long time friend & Lucy Rose Multi-Instrumentalist and band member Andrew Stuart Buttle. They have used this period to write, record & produce a 10 track album, the Album is mixed by ‘Aldous Harding credited Oliver Baldwin and is the follow up to 8.9 out of 10 Atwood reviewed sophomore album ‘Salt’ which was only released in March this year, a testimony to how prolific Michael is an artist and songwriter and he has already been in to record album 4 with Luke Potashnick (Tom the Lion, Alberta Cross) due out early 2021

Michael says on this track;
‘’Sitting in lockdown thinking how can anything be so hard, so easy, so incredibly sad and so fucking beautiful.As with most of my songs I wrote it feeling sad and looking to the light. I sat up in bed just before sleeping and the whole thing came out in one go. The next day i recorded the whole thing down pretty much as you hear it on the record. For the piano part i wanted to take musicality out of it, so with my hands on the right notes i actually blindfolded myself and felt my way through the track.’’
 
‘’It’s about being caught up in it all obviously and about how one moment of kindness spreads like the roots of a tree… & that colour can change your view and make you look out differently. 
‘you can paint it red, i can paint it blue, these colours change the view.’ The album created is my favourite I’ve done so far & i cant wait to get it out into the world.’’

╎ Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2EMugMV

📖 About the song:
Jacob Noal is a folk singer/songwriter from Ohio who readily acknowledges his own brokenness, yet confidently hopes in the future. Jacob often writes about the familiar juxtaposition of failure and freedom, and the beautiful evolution of struggle to joy. He performs rootsy, acoustic-based, indie folk music to remind us that we're not in this struggle alone; redemption and peace is closer than we think!

Regarding "More Than Rubies," I wrote the song for my wife based on Proverbs 31:10-31, which begins, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." It goes on to describe what a wife of noble character looks like, and I gotta say, my girl is nailing it! Like the song says, "one more splendid I have yet to see". I'm thankful for her everyday, and I hope you can share my joy and gratitude with this song!

📝 Lyrics:

Early in the morning do you rise
Sympathy and kindness in your eyes 
You put on your strength and dignity 
One more splendid I have yet to see

Can I count the favor that you bring?
Or capture all your goodness when I sing?
You are worth far more than anything
More than rubies

The snow will come, but you are not afraid 
We rest in the comfort you have made 
A garden grows where you have set your mind 
And we receive the blessings from the vine

Can I count the favor that you bring?
Or capture all your goodness when I sing?
You are worth far more than anything
More than rubies

Glad and ready are your heart and hands
You gracefully do all that life demands
With joyful laughter at the days to come 
Kindness and love are on your tongue 

Can I count the favor that you bring?
Or capture all your goodness when I sing?
You are worth far more than anything
More than rubies

📖 About the song:
Into the Wild is a search for meaning in life. I wrote this song after reading an imaginative children’s story to my nephew. I wanted to bring the listener into a surreal world, and also reflect upon the nature and journey of my life experience. I was highly influenced by the music of Nick Drake and José González. Musically I wanted to create a minimal arrangement, and portray a mood that is intimate and serene. I wanted to depict the feeling which I get when I listen to Nick Drake’s Pink Moon. Which to me feels like you’re in the room with Nick. I feel that the artwork by Vinyl Cry represents the themes of this song very well in a surreal and suggestive way. Simplicity, a deep sense of peace, and a quest for eternal love.

📝 Lyrics:

Lost in the ember of the night
Wild winds would blow away the sky
Pale carpets turned into the grass
Blankets would wash into the sea

We heard the news, the day will come
Under the moon, of the midnight sun
And by the sky, where the wildest run
Whispered the leaves, carried one by one

Grey as the eyes upon the shore
Taken as they were wanting more
Turned by the fear that could not stand
Bow down to the Master of the land

Into the eye, hidden from your sight
Lead by the road, of the midnight stone
And by the sky, where the wildest roam 
Remember the words, that will carry you home

Oh there you were, flown away, turned to grey
Oh there you were, flown away, turned to grey
Oh there you were, flown away, turned to grace
Oh there you were, flown away, turned to grace

We heard the news, the day will come
Under the moon, of the midnight sun
And by the sky, where the wildest run
Whispered the leaves, carried one by one

Ember of the Night

📖 About the song:
My name is Simon Schlager. I'm the one hiding behind the name  "The Patch". I live in Styria, Austria. My music is written and recorded by me. I was 20 when writing "Pictures". I think I'm not the only one who suddenly felt kind of 'old' at that age. I was like "Man I'm an adult now, huh?!' I started thinking - remembering. "Pictures" is about these memories. - These Pichtures I found in my had. Some of them will always stay where they are - in my head. That's pretty much it. :)

📝 Lyrics:

I've been sleeping here for a while
After years I just know how to smile
and I've learned how many things are done
tea is warmed, cars are driven, friends are made
over and over again

life itself, pick some moments and keep 'em where they are
for some years pictures are made and hung up on walls

I've been watching things for so long
tea's imbibed, cars are crashed and friends are gone
clocks are set, coffee's made and work is done
it just seems to be senseless but it just seems

life itself pick some moments and just travel back
for some years pictures are made and trough on the ground

life itself, pick some moments and keep 'em where they are
for some years pictures are made and hung up on walls

The Patch - Pictures (with lyrics)

Norwegian singer and songwriter, playing and creating folk-like, melodious, playful tunes.
