itunes.apple.c... song by Yes The Raven (Alyn Mearns). Yes The Raven is a songwriter from Belfast, N.Ireland currently living in North Carolina. Josephine is a song from his recently released album 'Love is Covered in Dust'. Available on iTunes, CD Baby, Google play etc Josephine, my figurine, holy rose, and my day-glow. Come to me, before I break, we could make for the country. We left the shores of innocence, past the point of a pardon, and when there's blood and little sense, I think of you in the garden, andante, half naked. I'm a candle in the sun, just a pebble on the beach. In my dream, your mouth becomes, a guillotine, then I waken. The local scene, the libertine, all of these will be shaken, but I love you. I'm a candle in the sun, just a pebble on the beach. I'm a bullet in the gun, just a rebel on a leash. Josephine, write to me, I need to know, if you want me. When The sea, holds it's breath, then you know, somethin's coming, and it's trouble, and it's found you. I'm a candle in the sun, just a pebble on the the beach. I'm always on the run. Your always out of reach. And when you think, our love is dead, you might just find it's only broken. And when you think it's all been said. There's just one word that can be spoken. Josephine.
Wonderful, just wonderful. The song takes you captive from the first note and captivates you until the last note. Truly a masterpiece.
Thanks 🙏
Probably the cleanest guitar player I have ever heard. Just amazing!
11/10 composition and performance
Thanks to Rick Beato for bringing me here and making me a new fan. Seriously, you should be doing a movie soundtrack. Your playing has such haunting but, a melodic and unique vibe to it and then adding your words and voice.
I 2nd this
I 3rd 👂👂👂👏
Me 2
Okay, a MASTERPIECE!!
Beautiful
Evocative and reflective, a beautiful dark mood. I loved the little instrumental sections with the dissonant notes. It’s a wonderful performance piece and I could also see it as a backdrop in a movie to highlight the character and mood of a scene. Keep up the excellent work with your songs and your classical playing! It’s all so welcome and inspiring.
Thanks 🙏
Second version of the song on the playlist...still loving it second time around!!! Sharing it this originals playlist with several friends.
sooooo great.
❤️🙏
Beautiful song Alan! I liked the way you matched the vocals with the guitar at some points like when you said “garden” 😀
You have my vote. Many, many people need to be aware of your music.
Agreed...
Beautiful.
Thanks 🙏
To paraphrase the great Alec Wilder in American Popular Song, your song combines the unexpected with the inevitable. Bravo.
Josephine ,my figurine,
holy rose
in my day glo
Come to me , before I break, we could make
for the country
We left the shores
Innocent, past the point
of a pardon
When there's blood, little sins
I think of you
in the garden
undaunted,
half naked
Hmmm, I'm a candle in the Sun
Hmmm Just a pebble on the beach
In my dream
Your mouth becomes
a guillotine , then awakens.
The local scene, the libertines
all of these will be shaken
I love you
Hmmm I'm a candle in the Sun
Hmmm Just a pebble on the beach
Hmmm Just a rebel on a lease
Josephine, write to me
I need to know if
you want me
When the sea
holds it's breath
something's
Nearly! 😀
Hmm I'm a bullet in a gun
Just A rebel on a LEASH...
Someone led me here and it's beautiful
❤️🙏
Just an absolute genius song. I hope this comment finds you well Alyn. Your music is just unbelievable. Always moves me, no matter how many times I’ve listened. Keep going!
Outstanding. Echos of Bruce Cockburn from the late 60s - early 70s.
❤️🙏
c'mon folks, deserves 10 million views at least...
😂
this is amazing... please make a tutorial of it, I love it
I'm not sure exactly why but, every time I hear this I think of driving in the country on a cool Autumn day as they're harvesting corn and yet, they discover something unsettling in the corn field. And as I'm driving past, a gentle rain begins of which only enhances the smell of death within the wind as a group of people stand within a circle of the corn field. And I wonder..,
Sometimes, maybe I think too much.
Hey, you owe Rick Beato a beer. And so do I.
Thanks 🙏
Very evocative and powerful. Open tuning ?
Just drop D 👍🏻
@@AlanMearns-YesTheRaven Nice way to get this Drone effect on the bass
