I believe in singin'
I believe our voices will ring on above
I believe in being kind
To the ones that you don’t love
Keep room in your heart
For the things you don’t believe
Keep room in your heart for the ones that you leave
We give and we are given
That’s how it all goes down
Fill your heart with what you can
And try to stick around
Sing a song to another
Sing a song to the moon
We could be leavin' soon
I believe that this body
Will wither and fade
I believe that our souls
Are already saved
I try to keep my distance
From the ones who claim to know
Those who don’t bow in wonder
To every flake of snow
We give and we are given
That’s how it all goes down
Fill your heart with what you can
And try to stick around
Sing a song to another
Sing a song to the moon
We could be leavin' soon

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
