Nick Brown I know Sam personally so I will obviously have some bias towards liking his music. I sincerely feel, however, that if I didn't know him, I would still enjoy this album. The harmonies are great and the picked guitar creates a grove that makes it impossible not to foot-tap along to, especially in "Blind in Both Eyes". I look forward to hearing more. Favorite track: Blind in Both Eyes.

You can give them all the things they need You can tell them that its all for good You can say it every single way And you can tell them that you think they should Just open their eyes to the cities inside ...I wish you would. I heard a skipping in the beats repeating The sound of clutter from your untamed heart Tell me honey is there something missing? Perhaps the reason for your distant part In all to be found, set an ear to the ground And list well Plan a promising flee, send our ships to sea

Wind and Oak 03:00
Said to the wind last night "Haven't you ever felt lost?" Said to the great red oak "Do you feel small in a place like this?" Hummed to the big gray sky... Said to the wind last night "Haven't you ever felt lost?" Said to the great red oak "Do you feel small in a place like this?" Turned to the whispering leaves "I am alive..." Heard from the wind and oak "...once in a while"

The son of the woodsman runs Into the orchard tended to by the sun The feet of the mother's son Will take him away to the places you once sung Only in the grave Only in the grave The eyes of the woodsman stay Gentle and gray as the grass you lay upon Only in the rain Only in the rain He sees the grain Counts the years Hides the pain He sees the grain Counts the years Hides the pain The son of the woodsman runs Into the orchard tended to by the sun The eyes of the woodsman stay Gentle and gray as the grass you lay upon Only in the rain Only in the rain Only in the rain

Hold it up to the sky Send it off with a smile Won't see you around Not for a while Take this off your back Undeserving of this weighted plaque Hold it up to the sky Send it off with a heavy cry I found you Hold this up to the light Let it show you that this endless fight Its only in you Its only in you too I found you...

I miss you coming around here I wish you'd show me that you're near And I miss your face in the blue light And I held the notion in hindsight I'd say I was blind in both eyes I found a road and a river And I was to hold and deliver all these words Up through the cracks in the floorboards Saw something bigger that you swore we'd see. But we were blind in all eyes I miss you coming around here I wish you'd show me that you're near And I miss your face in the blue light And I held the notion in hindsight I'd say I was blind in both eyes
