Josh Ritter, 1999
Written by Josh Ritter
Very early Ritter already has the hallmarks of his best material: literate, fast-paced lyrics; solid acoustic guitar work; a nasal, folksy delivery that evokes Cohen and Dylan. This song isn't among his greatest works, but it shows huge skill as a songwriter so young. I'm a sucker for verbosity and syllables that tumble over themselves. "Though one time we floated free / We are pulled by separate gravities to ground." That's a great way to say we're taking different paths.
