The lord is not my shepherd, and I am not a sheep
And I’ve got all these secrets and promises to keep
And I don’t know where to put them, when I try to go to sleep
And Jesus I’m in pieces sometimes
I’m in trouble with the weather
I had sunshine on my shoes;
Now I’ve got 5 years of rainy days,
When I only saved for 2
I am honeycombed monochrome bones
Written in my chromosomes
Light chains, heavyweight
Waiting, weighted, wait
And out there in the offing
There’s a boat that sails the sea
It’s come a little early
But I’m ready
So sing me to the place
Where singing comes from
And I’ll tell you what I know
about the humdrum:
Know that everyone you meet,
Everyone you meet
has a life as complex as your own
Be as kind as you can,
Kinder than you can,
Kinder, kinder than you can
If we're all as kind as we can be,
As kind as we can be,
Someone will always notice

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta
