Gregory Alan Isakov - Light Year Lyrics






I woke you up with poetry and stones
The ragged and the bones
Strewn around the room

I recall another hazy may
Take a round in the ring
Gone hungry for the win…

Heres the part I just lose everything
I cracked a spark just to hear you sing
Sing…

I took it out
The papers and the trash
Old among the cans
This golden love gone bad

Shined it up
Aiming at the sun
Just a light year from us
Hop a cab ride and we’re off..

And all the ravens came along to play
The simple notes you sang just went astray

Everything was up, its coming down
Everything was up, its coming down
Coming down

    The most beautiful thing in life is to explain everything you feel with music, and so I try to do, just like so many artists in the world.
    This is my latest single and if you wanna listen to it, it would mean a lot for me. Thanks

    I woke you up with poetry and stones
    The ragged and the bones
    Strewn around the room

    I recall another hazy may
    Take a round in the ring
    Gone hungry for the win…

    Heres the part I just lose everything
    I cracked a spark just to hear you sing
    Sing…

    I took it out 
    The papers and the trash
    Old among the cans
    This golden love gone bad

    Shined it up
    Aiming at the sun
    Just a light year from us
    Hop a cab ride and we’re off..

    And all the ravens came along to play
    The simple notes you sang just went astray

    Everything was up, its coming down
    Everything was up, its coming down
    Coming down

    +Miriana Di Venti Isakov is one of this world's current music geniuses. His songs are rich and beautiful.
    Notice the name of this album "This Empty Northern Hemisphere".
    Isakov was born in South Africa, but was raised in Philadelphia.
    Says a lot just in the title of his album here.

    M.... D....

    +Miriana Di Venti His stuff is effortless.

    Every night I fall asleep to a Pandora station consisting of Ryan Adams, with a side of Gregory Alan Isakov. There is literally no better way to end the day.

    K.... S....

    +Kevin Schaeffer I'd leave the Ryan Adams out. He used to be one of my favs from way back in 2001.

    K.... S....

    +snideelf Ashes & Fire may be his best stuff since back then.

    K.... S....

    Thank you @Kevin Schaeffer for mentioning Ryan Adams
