Sarah Jarosz - The Book Of Right-On Lyrics






We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on

We should shine a light on, a light-on
And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on

I killed my dinner with karate
Kick 'em in the face, taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do

Do you want to sit at my table
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able

And you do say - oh oh
That you do pray - oh oh
And you say that you're okay

And do you want to run with my pack
Do you want to ride on my back
Pray that what you lack does not distract

And even when you run through my mind
Something else is in front, oh, you're behind
And I don't have to remind you to stick with your kind

And you do say - oh oh
That you do pray - oh oh
And you say that you're okay

And even when you touch my face
You know your place
Yeah and even when you touch my face
You know your place

We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on

We should shine a light on, a light on
The book of right-on's right-on, it was right-on

    It is so great to see a female mandolinist! Especially one so young. Love her!

  15. K.... J....

    Aw man, what's with the 5 minute ad that can't be skipped? I understand wanting to make a bit off people streaming your music but 5 minutes? that's almost longer than the song!

  16. S.... ....

    We already know how awesome this trio is...I'd like to comment on the fantastic job the audio engineer did! Kudos to you. Microphones are well matched to the instruments, the audio levels are dialed in and the sound stage is perfectly balanced.

    Love the microphone used for Sarah, it really delivers on the depth and the true warmth of her vocals.

  24. t.... ....

    Why do they no longer play together? What a loss! The three of them made such beautiful music together.

    t.... ....

    Totally agree!! The three of them together had such a synergy. It was almost as though they formed one musician.

    t.... ....

    Very well put. I completely agree. What happened to Hargreaves (violin) and Smith (cello). From what I hear they were together for 5 years. I was there when they toured together with the Milk Carton Kids for one of the best concerts I have ever seen or heard.

    t.... ....

    Nick Maiorino 12

    t.... ....

    She has been playing with Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins in the group I'm With Her, making great music but I must agree this collaboration was/is special and shouldn't be abandoned, if you are reading Sarah.

  25. V.... ....

    Just beautiful. I just watched her on Austin City Limits, along with the Milk Carton Kids. Both were outstanding !

    V.... ....

    Great show

  26. B.... F....

    this is so great! I came to hear a cover from JN but found such talented people!

  27. l.... g....

    thank heavens for such beautiful voice, cannot tell how much it speaks to a soul in Kentucky

  28. i.... ....

    Hello Sarah! Congrats on your great success. You are looking more like Gillian these days,,,,haha

  29. L.... ....

    Excellent !

  30. J.... M....

    It's a BB, big purple thing

    Anybody know what the big purple is, from which hangs her condensor mic?

  32. j.... ....

    i want to meet  Sarah so bad she is great

  33. R.... A....

    This song is right-on....

  34. M.... S....

    No need to say it, but she is quite talented.  Like her singing and playing.

  35. M.... ....

    absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces of musical collab I've seen recently..pure musicianship....thank you for this.

  36. T.... P....

    I don't curse much but holy FUCK!

  37. s.... ....

    The amazing singer songwriter bluegrass sound of Sarah Jarosz with their new song hit - "Book of Right-On". Quality studio sound, vintage instruments, original song arrangements & lyrics makes their music wonderfully... and highly pleasing to the ear. :)   Check out SARAH JAROSZ a 22- year-old, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who hails from just outside Austin, Texas at http://acltv.com/artist/sarah-jarosz/

    s.... ....

    "Their new song" is written and originally performed by Joanna Newsom. 

    s.... ....

    +Jeffrey Allen Doesnt seem like any one here is too keen on that, unfortunately...

  38. H.... N....

    This is just too much...a Joanna Newsom cover by Sarah Jarosz? It's just too perfect <3 (now if only they'd do a collaboration of sorts!)

  39. B.... H....

    I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song...which is every day!! Love, love, love, this is what I live for!

  40. R.... H....

    Love this. The 3 of you play so well together, everything just fits perfectly musically...I give it a big "Right On" You all are amazing musicians. :-)

  41. l.... A....

    When are you playing in NY again????

    l.... A....

    Feb 12 with the Milk Carton Kids...  saw the together in Austin twice... great show! 

  42. M.... H....

    I've been listening to the performance of this song filmed at Bluegrass Underground for about a year and thought it couldn't be topped, but I was wrong -- this performance reveals a more mature, confident and swinging group -- the interplay between the three is truly cool, and Sarah's singing has also grown remarkably.  Outstanding!

  43. U.... ....

    Strange but fascinating...

  44. G.... B....

    Entrancing. I just loved "Build Me Up From Bones."

  45. M.... M....

    Sarah, Love all the songs on your album including this one...Awesome arrangement and vocals, Wonderfully done!!

    Matt :)

  46. O.... F....

    Thank you
