      It makes me think of someone's life reflections after they have died. The free associations and the eerie resonance seem to come from two worlds.

      Dig deeper into philosophy, I disagree very sincerely. He describes the best feeling in the world. Weightlessness.

    Lyrics:
    coffee burns, the stomach churns chemicals and caffeine
    you saw her bathing in the creek now you’re jealous of the water
    now babe, if it’s alright i call you that
    i’ve been running solo, but it ain’t all that they say it’s the take and give
    but emptiness knows just where i live and emptiness knows me
    was it just chemicals in my head
    tell me why all these pages are flying round in the yard how my hands can’t seem to find your hands in the dark tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here how gravity’s gone

      Yeah, Chiappi, but songwriters don't write songs in a linear fashion. He may have wrote it one way, and decided to sing it another, but didn't correct the lyric on paper.

    This is what Damien Rice quit feeling; this is what Ryan Adams and Ray Lamontagne have forgotten about...this is what music has needed. Big time is coming for Isakov, and I actually have hope that he doesn’t bend to it’s will.

Everytime he comes to Red Butte Gardens, the tickets sell out before I can buy one....I guess I am going to have to volunteer there to be able see/hear him play!! I am glad more people are discovering and appreciating his music though....does my heart good!

      Seems like we always have to wait for the new guy to come along. I would add to your list Josh Ritter, David Gray, and, tragically, Iron and Wine. They just seem to lose the poetry for some reason, who knows why. Speaking of Ryan Adams, wonder if Isakov has ever heard La Cienga Just Smiled. Because this has exactly the same riff.
