Yeats (Live from Frederick, MD) 05:19
lyrics

Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, by William Butler Yeats Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Choices (Live from Dallas, TX) 05:41
lyrics

If I could live this life one thousand times If I could till this soil again If I could resurrect these dying days I’d still choose to be with you in the end And every morning when I wake I choose you To be the one that’s by my side And in the evening when I rest my burdens I choose you above my pride Now I could climb this mountain on my own And I could be that solitary stone And I could chase the days when I did roam But I choose to create in you my home If I could live this life just one more time If I could till this soil again If I could resurrect this dying day I’d still choose to be with you in the end

Promise Me (Live from Stroudsburg, PA) 04:56
lyrics
buy track
I’ve watched the river run from mountains to the plain The seasons wander by some different, some the same We’ve tried to reason with the changes that life has sent our way But then there’s work and sleep and life and now tomorrow is today I’ve watched the river freeze as plains fill up with snow Seen wrinkles etched across your face, tokens of the roads you’ve known But I’ve grown tired of the reasoning life forces us to do What happened to the stillness when life was me and you? And you say promise me we’ll never lose touch I’ve watched the river thaw as birds renew their song But I’ve missed changes in myself, was I this cold all along? It’s not that I don’t care love, I’m tired I’m just weak But I’ll try harder love I’ll try, this a promise I mean to keep You say it’s not the answers to these questions that pulls our hearts apart But the questions left unasked, thoughts we don’t even start And you say promise me we’ll never lose touch And now I promise you we’ll never lose touch

The Finer Things (Live from Detroit, MI) 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I am haunted by the specter of your love What I knew I know no more The serenity that fed me boils over As I fail to reckon with what’s on the floor And I still feel your love so real But I feel fury for your love’s hurry But please just let this cutting rage subside Oh help me let the finer things abide I don’t want to feel this one more day I just always thought that you would stay

In Dreams (Live from Detroit, MI) 07:40
lyrics
buy track
In my dreams, I am loved by you; You take my heart and make me whole And if your love were reality; I think I could change the world Oh, in my dreams In my dreams we’re so happy; We’re smiling even as we fight And when I pull your body close to me; I feel electric deep inside Oh, in my dreams In my dreams, I’m down on my knee; And in your eyes I see my life The words we share…oh what beauty; I can’t believe you’ll be my wife Oh, in my dreams In my dreams we’re old and wrinkled; But deep inside we’re still so young We’ve crossed a million miles together; Oh damn we’ve had such fun Oh, in my dreams In my dreams, I am loved by you; You take my heart and make me whole And if my dreams were reality; There’d be such peace down in my soul

Nate Taylor Boston, Massachusetts

Wanderer, wonderer, journeyman, folksinger — Nate Taylor fuses story and experience on a quest for connection through music — to people, to nature, to truth. Often compared to Nick Drake for his resonant fingerpicking, Taylor paints an ethereal soundscape with his soaring vocals that implores a kind of reverence for the moment. ... more
