An Autumn mix ... a mix that brings to my mind falling leaves & stompy boots & pumpkin cupcakes & plucking guitar strings & stripy socks & favorite sweaters & no need to wear blush & scary movies & brisk morning walks & candy corn & extra blankets. Driving with all the windows down up the valley ... wowing at the contrast between the colorful forest canopy & the bright green cool-season grasses that line the valley floor. (the artwork is a picture taken last October of the persimmon tree in my front yard)

You think this one will be an instrumental the first time you hear it. Or at least I did & am still sort of startled when he starts singing in it because I'm never expecting it. The perfect beginning to a possibly perfect journey. SHOW LESS

Track 3 from It Still Moves
Length: 00:04:39 Year: 2003 |

|
Track Description:
"Talk is often cheap & filled with air..." I could lose my mind listening to this man sing. Exceptional in every way. Fall wouldn't be Fall without this song & driving wouldn't be half as introspective an experience for me without this album echoing through my car. I fell in love with being alive again because of It Still Moves. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
"Eyes that dance around without their clothes ..." OH Ryan, this man can do no wrong & this song belongs right HERE. The guitar leads my mind away & I can see much meandering & shuffling of feet & squinching of my freckled, smiling cheeks in the future when I hear it. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
"I told you all I know but you want someone I'm not" This song gets a lot of play ... their voices blend so well & there's that gritchy, gravelly thing going on that I've always preferred in my male singers. I saw them recently & I smiled right down to my guts the entire time. SHOW LESS

"What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?" I got to see him do this one live @ the beginning of the month & it was even sweeter live than on the album (if you can imagine that)!
