    Hands down my absolute favorite performance of this beautiful song. I can't imagine an alternative version that could surpass it. Folk rock on, Johnny!

    Lyrics
    I met Jane in September's throw
    January's grass, we let each other go
    I met Helen on March's back
    She took my coat and she stole my hat
    I met you when the weather got fine
    You said 'I've got yours if you've got mine
    And the worst and best of all we knew
    Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
    Didn't take long to sing our love
    Was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove
    When winter came you couldn't stand to sit
    You just the same never burnt but lit
    With a world at war and my thoughts on you
    I didn't care to fall, there wasn't much to do
    And the worst and best of all we knew
    Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
    Churlish May when the year was fair
    Gone full circle when things went square
    Ate my meal an un-noble beast
    Left me to pay not a movable feast
    Look I got nothing, dunno where I am
    Got a fistful of questions, not an answer to hand
    And the worst and best of all we knew
    Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
    Morning dew
    With a blow me down the road, dead in the wood
    Further from you now, then the roots from the leaves
    Drunk on the wood, never seen any trees
    My ore's out the water and the lake that I'm sailing
    Is your dear father's daughter and it's cold and I'm ailing
    Are you drowning me slowly, was the school meant to teach
    Are you leaving so slowly, where's the shore, where's the beach?
    And the worst and best of all we knew
    Stayed out to rust in the morning dew

  • @joe_diamond_walsh
    @joe_diamond_walsh Před 12 lety +33

    i'm curious as to why he''s still playing in reasonsabl small venues with audiences such as this, who, quite frankly, don't seem that bothered. Why is he not selling out arenas and playing in huge venues where the crowd know every word of every song? I just think he should be considerably more famous than he is, given his talent

  • @moronextraordinnaire
    @moronextraordinnaire Před 6 lety

    I only discovered him last year when I saw him in the movie, "Song One", purchased the soundtrack and started researching his music. I hope as he gets older and more seasoned he might write at least a few songs that transcend personal experience and speak more to universal themes...or maybe I'm just not intelligent enough to understand some of his lyrics. They have beautiful imagery either way.

    • @auroracandy5466
      @auroracandy5466 Před 6 lety +3

      moronextraordinnaire I think "The Wrote And The Writ" is a good example of when he sings and writes from personal experience and a universal theme. I just thought I'd recommend it on the off chance you haven't heard that one :) x

      You should realise that no one is good looking. Because even if you are considered 'attractive' according to beauty ideals, you've been used to it because you've been in your body all your lfie since birth. So it's not special to you yourself. And people reminding you look attractive according to beauty ideals, are just telling you they can't see you for the human you are.
      Kind-hearted "ugly" people, and kind-hearted "beautiful" people suffer the same way: No one sees them for who they truly are, and we all keep that bullshit going by projecting our own sadness onto someone else's ugliness or beauty. Either with insults or compliments.

    What I mean is, how has he wired it up? I can't see the pickup, would he have taped a piezo to the inside or something?
    I've got something similar to his amped tone at the moment, using a contact mic on my acoustic, and using a low level of overdrive on my amp.
