How has it taken me four years to hear about this guy...I wish it were easier to find out about artists like this in Australia without having to hunt it out - especially as people love keeping good finds to themselves :)

[SUNSHINEWAGON]

Love Josh Ritter! Thanks for posting.

[StonewallVH5150]

May very well be the best lyricist of our Generation.

[JinzoCreed]

how I wish I wrote this song =(

so great

[duncanlockie]

this guy is amazing, but OMG is it scary, he looks almost identical to a chemistry teacher i once had who was called Robin Davies, scary

[scusemelittleoldlady]

I trust anything Josh Ritter does

[BMWrocks23]

love the Rime of the Ancient Mariner reference!

[maitiudeburca]

the albatros reference? ya...josh does some seriously thoughtful lyrics alright; my favourite being 'trees are fists shaking themselves at the sky'from thin blue flame. Like who's ever looked at a tree and saw that image?! Great stuff!

[rosshorn812]

@maitiudeburca what do you suppose that means, though? "the bonnet wears a wire albatross." a wire albatross... what could that possibly signify? i found that an albatross meant good luck for sailors and a dead one is bad luck. and, of course, albatross can also mean a persistent anxiety. It seems rather ambiguous to me.
