Extraordinary Love
After reading the book "Dreamland" about the American opioid crisis, I met a singer songwriter from Portsmouth, OH where the book was set and from where it got it's title (The name of the old, now defunct public swimming pool). Josiah Whitley was launchoin an album titled "Moonsongs". I was amazed to see someone from the town so full of life, of love enjoying his songwriting, singing and we got talking about WHY we write songs and sing them – this is my take on the issue. Thanks for listening
Thanks Dave, lovely playing and I could relate to some of the emotions/feelings you sang about. “Should I bare my soul anew to total strangers”, love it.
Lovely song Dave. Total get it.
I’ve been there! A really good take on the challenge – well done, Dave.
Thanks for the kind words, friends.
Nice song, good lyric, lovely guitar playing
A lovely all-round sound and a steady blend of voice and guitar. I liked the little ‘tap’ thing you used for the best!!
And I do love it when the lyrics are posted up with the song so I can take them in properly. And I really identified. I write very personal songs. It’s the only way I can write. It’s cathartic. Then I bare my deepest feelings on stage. 👏👏
This is the complete package. Thoughtful lyrics, strong vocal performance, and lovely guitar arrangement, plus some well placed harmonies… what more could you want??
The songs I sing can give me wings and I am free. Lovely expression of the singer song writer experience, totally relatable. Lovely arrangement too.
You create a gentle, soothing sound
and a lovely arrangement,,Dave. I’m new to songwriting but already I can understand the stress of baring my soul to strangers. A very special song.
