Josh Ritter - Thin Blue Flame with extra lyrics (Indy)

[rinnin]

Excerpts from last verse.......Genius! I heard my friends laughing out across the fields ... The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay Cicadas electric in the heat of the day A run of Three Sisters and the flush of the land And the lake was a diamond in the valley's hand ... And angels everywhere were in my midst In the ones that I loved in the ones that I kissed I wondered what it was I'd been looking for up above Heaven is so big there ain't no need to look up ....

I agree with the comment posted before mine. Sagacious mind, intuitive and clear perception of the world around him, Josh Ritter continues to attach messages to meanings within the context of his lyrics....a bright, sharp mind equips Josh with the power to invoke an audience into feeling and thinking in the midst of their being entertained by his songs.

Ritter has an apocalyptic vision, tempered by hope and compassion, deepended by despair and rage. What a gift he has to ask us to look again at our world.
