Completely agree. Some of his songs are masterpieces of wordplay, rhyme, storytelling, theme and plain heartfelt pain and joy.

That's cute.

This is a pretty gutsy song. He puts it all out there.

I suppose I should comment on a song or two. Josh Ritter is great. Saw him at a small club in Portland Maine. Better in person.
For what its worth.

More than 3 notes in the vocals would make this a bit more interesting, Josh. 3 from the somnolent Nottingham jury {#Sleep}

I saw Josh Ritter in Austin a while back and he was fantastic live. (And kind of adorable.)
Posted 17 years ago by membeth    [ Reply ]
I thought I didn't like Josh Ritter, but after hearing this song I think I'll have to rethink that position. Maybe I just don't like his current album.

Josh is a local boy (Beantown). I think this was his first CD. Low budget recording.
Posted 17 years ago by DennisChampagne    [ Reply ]
some subtle connection to an Elliot Smith phrasing in that delay on the chorus, my first time hearing this tune, it is certainly very smooth and gentle, even soothing maybe. the Elliot Smith thing was my first thought at the first chorus. a solid tune.
Posted 18 years ago by CQ    [ Reply ]
I like most of this song, except the chorus seems to drag too much compared to the verses. I want to yell "spit it out, boy". Maybe its just me, which is fine too.

Have you heard his song "Thin Blue Flame"? What a powerful, meaningful song. I haven't been blown away by a song the way that one did in years.

Heard him do this live as an a-capella duet with the lead singer of The Frames. Fantastic.

Hmm.... I have a copy of this song floating around, but it's just Josh and a guitar. I hear drums & piano and maybe bass in this version... is this the album version, an alt single version, etc. ? Comments?
On his website it's called the "Jackdrag Remix" It's been included on a couple harder to find releases. Bonus disc on Golden Age of Radio among others. Check out his website store to track it down...

I found him! He was in bed in his PJ's still.
Posted 20 years ago by amcallis    [ Reply ]
I recall this song was on the soundtrack of Six Feet Under awhile back when Nate and Lisa were having one of their poignant scenes. Although I had known of the song for awhile prior to that, I now indelibly link the two.

Great song...
Posted 23 years ago by micman2b    [ Reply ]
Ritter's voice is tuneless, and so is the "tune." He must hold a record for reuse of one note! How did he ever get a recording contract? The instruments would have been fine *alone.* :(

I KNEW that RP would be playing Josh soon! I heard him for the first time last spring opening for Jimmie Dale Gilmore in Pawling, NY and have been a big fan since. (And every woman I\'ve taken to hear him, my wife included, thinks he\'s a major dreamboat. If you have a chance to see him live, don\'t miss it.
