Allow me to introduce to you Joshua Radin. I say that because while Joshua is talented enough to be a household name, he is anything but, which I find tragic. Joshua is cut from the Ray Lamontagne cloth. Both are talented singer-songwriters with similar sounds which may be why Joshua isn't more widely known. This song of his though, No Envy No Fear definitely made me sit up and take notice.No Envy is off Joshua's second album, the 2008 release Simple Times, and album chock full of wonderful melodies and poignant lyrics. The stand out in my opinion though is this gem. I find this song to be absolutely beautiful, from the melody to the lyrics to the playing, it borders on perfection.
I can listen to this song all day. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do.
Yes...same cloth indeed. The lyrics were phenomenal. However, where Ray often seems mournful. This song held a thread of hope that was just as poignant and heart wrenching. Excellent addition to the blog. Thank you for the introduction. :-)
