Cynaera - My thoughts exactly. As it happens, I'm snowed under right now, so I am not in the mood for the song. In another mood, I might very well be.

I love Josh Ritter's music, but sometimes I have to be in the mood for it. Tonight, I'm in the mood for it because I accomplished a lot, I'm tired, and the bills are paid. Mellow is fine now.  But - were I to hear this song on a day when I was shattered (buh-doo-be-doo) or scrambling to get a truckload of things done within a very narrow time-frame, I'd probably rate it lower, if I rated it at all. Still, he's a really nice man, and he answers his e-mail. I'm not going to complain. {#Roflol}

It's good for insomnia {#Sleep}. The epitome of Ho-Hum.

"Here I am standing at your window again, waiting for you to say 'go away' or 'come in'" - ok, "go away" then.

Reminds me of all the classic songwriters of the 70s (in a good way). Cat Stevens, James Taylor, etc.

He's good.  He listens to Woodie Guthrie a lot, I think.

The sentiment he expersses in this song is exactly what I'm going through right now...how succinct!

I agree with earlier comments: he's really great live. See him in small venues now while you still can.

Someone needs to upload Mind's Eye from his new cd. That song is mind-blowing.

I agree! Seeing him live sold me. I have never seen an artist smile thru an entire show. He has a great presence on stage.

I can see the Dylan resemblance, but he reminds me more of Peter Case, both in his songwriting and delivery. I'm beginning to get really fond of this guy.

Excellent Woody Guthrie/Bob Dylan vocal clone but with a little tiny tiny bit of tune here and there. The song could have more tune in it, but it is better than the last 10 or so in that regard.

Now if you would just give us, please, some tuneful singing and instrumentation and clever lyrics, all at the same time!!??!!!??!!!!!

You really oughtta catch him live. Great singer/songwriter/performer! And very personable guy after the show. Wise beyond his years.

I saw Josh open for Sarah Harmer about a month ago and I was very impressed. I love his voice and he's a great song writer.

Great song.

About the third generation of singer-songwriters who gets compared to Bob Dylan. Maybe a bit too easy. Just like Dylan himself, Josh Ritter stands in a long tradition of, say, troubadours. Convincing enough to stand on his own.

I say add this guy's entire catalog to the RP library. I have loved everything that I've heard from him so far.

my favorite by far though is "Harrisbug"

thanks for introducing me to yet another great artist RP.
