Gregory Allan Isakov - Dandelion Wine

Album: This Empty Northern Hemisphere (released May 15, 2009) Features Brandi Carlile

Lyrics:

summer days were just a magazine, a magazine, a magazine...
cutting grass for gasoline, for gasoline
so i can see you soon...

fall swooned
left me drunk in a field
dandelion wine for a year
and i packed up the dust
of all that i owned
handkerchief hung from a pole
i rolled out the day that the apples fell...

I just discovered this artist about 15 minutes ago. I'm a huge fan of Brandi and heard her discussing her collaboration with Isakov, and decided to look him up. This music... whoa... it's therapeutic!

@ronnie3704 I'm a Brandi Carlile fan too. One of Isakov's songs was on the radio w/ Brandi a year or so ago and I immediately looked it up to see who it was. His whole album is great. I've seen him in concert in Minneapolis (Brandi too, a few times).

I am pretty sure this is an original written by Gregory Alan himself, not Leonard Cohen. One of Us Cannot Be Wrong is the Leonard Cohen cover on this album.

@nightswimming89 @nightswimming89 I think you are correct, shame on me (the way it was worded in i-tunes lead me to that conclusion, but when I re-read it, I realized that I wasn't reading carefully enough)...

@nightswimming89 (interview) Camera: Tell me about "Dandelion Wine." GAI: That is an interesting song because I've never spent more time on a song before. If a song doesn't live within a few weeks, it's gone. If I'm still waiting for a part to come and it doesn't come in a few weeks, I go, 'Next!' Eventually it finished. That song was strong for me. It was kind of a risky place to put it on the album because it's slow, but it felt like the right place for me to put it.
