LYRICS:
let’s take a ride
i know you love the taconic at twilight
go east on 23
past the farms and the festival memories
listening to the hudson valley breeze
oh to be born in the age of apathy
when nothing’s got a hold on you
if you need someone to hold you can hold me
under the shade of a quaking aspen tree
we came for new england’s party
but the colors haven’t started so it’s just you and me
when did you start to change?
was it somewhere up along the coast of maine?
or when we drove back down 95
we got stopped at the border but we made it out alive
radio played “yellow moon on the rise”
oh to be born in the age of apathy
when nothing’s got a hold on you
if you need someone to hold you can hold me
under the shade of a quaking aspen tree
we came for new england’s party
but the colors haven’t started so it’s just you and me
hold me like you held me on the day the towers fell
when we stumbled over to the christian science center pool
was it the end or the beginning?
all i remember is the singing and the music trying to drive away the fear
i’m still here
somewhere down the line
i let go around 2009
lost the feeling in my hands
guess it’s one that no one understands
radio plays “my old man ... ”

Love the Joni reference! _radio plays “my old man ... ”_
Love your music Aoife!!

[@ChrisTuckerPhotography]

I love how the lyrics go away and you just have to fuckin listen!

[@bryanalfonso5700]

David Crosby is a fan or yours Aoife. He apparently still has good ears. I can't top the compliments below. If apathy is the opposite of soul, you were born in the wrong age...or perhaps the right one - we need music like yours more than ever. You've got a great instrument and you use it well.

Aoife, oh Aoife. This song…it seems there’s beauty to be found even in sadness. Yours is the voice of an angel. ❤️

[@frankmobilio2394]

Just heard Aoife for the fist time this morning on Folk Alley. Wow.

[@kevinmcconville8969]

Just discovered Aoife yesterday - wow!! What a voice and what a composer. Booked to see her in Dublin June 3rd

[@antonyalumkal1526]

I'm looking forward to this album! I'd also love another I'm With Her album in the next couple of years if the three of them can swing it.

[@davecherry4230]

I can think of at least 4 artists who give aspen trees center stage in thoughtful &/or sad songs. Not that this is a bad thing! 😁

[@irimomsen2292]
