  • Stream / buy "Beautiful Strangers:" kevinmorby.bandcamp.com/album...
    This release is dedicated to and written for all the people I have never met but have only read about. The innocent people who were out living their lives and one day, without warning, had them taken away from them. People who liked to laugh, dance, and love in the way that we all do, but cant anymore. All those names and faces, all those beautiful strangers...
    So here are two songs, "Beautiful Strangers" as well as my cover of Townes Van Zandt's "No Place To Fall" that I have been closing my live show with over the past year. Any purchase of these two songs will go to support the work of Everytown For Gun Safety - an organization I have followed for quite some time. I believe in and support them in their efforts to make the world a safer place. So if you wish - you can donate as little or large as you'd like and I do hope you enjoy the songs. Do it for the kids.
    Love and peace,
    Kevin Morby

      Same.
      Everytown For Gun Safety is nothing more than a vehicle for Bloomberg to promote his personal gun-control agenda. Everytown For Gun Safety's agenda is more than ridding felons of illegal guns. Under the guise of helping towns facing a crime and drug epidemic, Everytown For Gun Safety promotes confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.

    LYRICS
    If you ever hear that thunder
    Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
    Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
    Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name is up to him
    If you ever hear that crying
    In the distance like some siren
    Maybe there's a singer
    With no ring around their little finger
    No love
    And If I lose my voice
    If I have no choice but to go quiet
    Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there
    Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
    Fee-fi-fo-fum
    If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
    Well then, run, run, run
    Free
    If you ever hear that gunshot
    You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
    Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
    If you ever hear that sound now
    If the door gets kicked in here, they come now
    Think of others, be their cover
    I am what they're not
    Pray for Paris
    They can not scare us
    Or stop the music
    Your sweet voice, child
    Why don't you use it?
    If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love
    So release me, every piece of me, up above
    (Up above, ooh ooh ooh)
    Love my mama and my papa
    Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
    Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
    Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
    Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
    I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my Lord
    And if I die too young for something I ain't done
    Carry my name every day
    Oh, I'm sorry
    Oh, I'm sorry
    Freddie Gray
    But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
    Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
    Oh, beautiful stranger
    If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
    And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
    And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
    Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
    Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
    Oh, beautiful stranger

    About a year ago I was having a Late Night Chill vibe in my bedroom after a joint, while Spotify was playing some random songs, and this one started playing. When the lyrics said "take a look in the sky and wonder" i took the advice and started to look to the stars, when a few seconds later a shooting star passed in the sky. It was amazing. The other day i started looking for the song but i never found it again. Today i went out to supermarket and let youtube playing random songs again, and right in the moment i came back home this song was playing, and i knew it was familiar. Replayed the song to find something about looking to the sky and yeah, this was the song.
    i'll never let this song again!!

    This will be seen by very few - Please understand that this is a protest song where all the proceeds were donated to Everytown For Gun Safety. It's a song against gun violence. When he says pray for Paris - He is referring to the mass shooting in Paris. When he speaks of 49 dead - He is referring to the gay nightclub mass shooting in Orlando. When he speaks of Freddie Gray - He is referring to what cops joke about giving a 'suspect' a rough ride where he is handcuffed, put in the back of a van unsecured and driven around recklessly stopping and speeding up to make it a nightmare for the man in the back. Freddie Gray died after his ride from a spinal injury. All 6 officers were never convicted of anything.
    It's an awesome, stunning spiritual song. Just make sure you understand what it is saying to you.

    Imagine Kevin if you could take on the feeling that occurs inside of my stimulerad brain and Body, and all thanks to you.
    It's unique, and the thing that i relate mostly to, is that i love meeting all sort and forms of Beutiful Strangers. I never back a way from a chat with the "Beutiful Strangers" that crosses my state of flow and path, you Will Grow from it, face your fears and talk to a Stranger.

Kevin is actually in Ireland right now as I type this, he just played in the Academy Dublin a couple hours ago. I couldn't make it but I had to come here and have another listen.

    If you ever hear that thunder
    Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
    Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
    Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name is up to him
    If you ever hear that crying
    In the distance like some siren
    Maybe there's a singer
    With no ring around their little finger
    No love
    And If I lose my voice
    If I have no choice but to go quiet
    Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there
    Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
    Fee-fi-fo-fum
    If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
    Well then, run, run, run
    Free
    If you ever hear that gunshot
    You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
    Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
    If you ever hear that sound now
    If the door gets kicked in here, they come now
    Think of others, be their cover
    I am what they're not
    Pray for Paris
    They can not scare us
    Or stop the music
    Your sweet voice, child
    Why don't you use it?
    If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love
    So release me, every piece of me, up above
    (Up above, ooh ooh ooh)
    Love my mama and my papa
    Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
    Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
    Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
    Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
    I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
    Oh, my Lord
    And if I die too young for something I ain't done
    Carry my name every day
    Oh, I'm sorry
    Oh, I'm sorry
    Freddie Gray
    But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
    Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
    Oh, beautiful stranger
    If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
    And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
    And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
    Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
    Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
    Oh, beautiful stranger
