There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe him. He is a great poet, a beautiful soul and a kind human being. After seeing him, I recognized him on the street in LA, and he came and joined my friend and I for a drink before his flight. He's just that kind of guy...and I love him for everything :)
this song is so so so so good, and he is so so so so talented. I was so happy to get to see him this summer. on my ipod where it shows how much you listen to a songs all of his are over the hundred mark, like every song, I've listened too.. hundreds of times
I didn't like josh ritter at first but then his music started to grow on me and now i find myself just sittin here listening at home outside of school even though i dont have to lol
Adam's temptation was the big red button huh, quite the opposite from a desire to eat from the tree of knowledge. Eve must have been lovely. Maybe the greatest set of lyrics I've ever come across. Ritter rules.
Its in Standard tuning but hes tuned the whole guitar down so that the E Strings are now C#. Then the chords are C, G, B7, E minor, G, D, D/B and then C. Well thats how I do it anyway.
@MichaelODonoghue I dont know who i would be able to compare him to maybe neil young on his style and bob dylan on his writing ability but he is just as unique as both of those great musicians :) dont try and compare it just enjoy it :)
I'm just hearing his stuff for the first time and it's great. Anyone think he's a little dylanesque? Similar voice I think. I'm also wondering what goes through peoples heads when they call his music out. I read a comment below calling it gay. Does this poor asshole sit around all day thinking I can't wait to bad mouth youtube videos to make myself feel better? Anyone else laugh at their posts?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Damn this song makes me want a Time Machine and a one way plane ticket over that ocean 💔
Can't stop listening to this!! One of his best songs!! And i agree, better than Dylan :) Just amazing!
Every time I hear this song, I become more and more scared of the future...
WWIII. learning to love the bomb
and if I can't have her, then no one can
@ethanb0nd I think that he's simply referencing her name for the tone. Not actually stating it as her.
Yeah his music are his poems, and our english teacher is having us do peom analysis on either his songs "Girl in the war" or "Thin blue flame"
I love those songs from josh...I don`t like those new happy once...but I´m glad he is :-)
Anyone need a ticket to see him in Brooklyn on the 28th? I need to sell my ticket :(
You really think so? This is one of my favorites of his...
Hehe. Me too

4 people slipped and hit "the button"
Petite David Anyone?

have you heard any of his other songs? this is one of his poorer songs granted, but its not that bad
you had to listen to him at school?
Hey do you mean cheap as in easily affordable by anyone unlike the expensive ones only talentless critics can afford?
would say, I like those sad songs by hin...not the happy ONES...cheers
he did and has a better voice
been compared to dylan and springsteen,
a waste of words in my opinion,
well, compared to the way he uses them.
