new every morning

this is “master & a hound” by gregory alan isakov from this empty northern hemisphere.

download?

i saw gregory alan isakov in indianapolis last november with blind pilot and this is the song he closed his set with, upon the audience’s request. that was the first time i remember hearing this one and it was the perfect way to experience it for the first time. he said he picked up a snow globe and wrote a song about it. i think it was as simple as that.

where were you when i was still kind?
just a water treader
waiting on the line
just a dry gin drinker

master and a hound
turned a circus swinger
look, he’s coming down…
down

can you shake it up?
just once for me?
your little globe just so we can see
the snow blowing ‘round your hands

and the wing-nut turned
the song that we both know
sent us flying ‘round the carnival
you can throw all your lucky coins on me

on me…

this was done for emma for her birthday. she is just a creature that i am fond of. just a toad.

i go to pick her up from the airport in twenty minutes! wow! i finished it about a week ago i think, but i waited to post until i could show it here in person with real eyes. jumping beans!
