LYRICS
Once I thought I’d move to Nashville
Where everyone’s better than me
And I’ve heard L.A. is nice this time of year
Before it breaks into the sea
You’ll see them dancing out at parties
Or drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
And now the evening’s Hudson River
Or without glasses on, Monet
Oh lord, what kind of idiot
Would go to work this time of day?
You’ll see us dancing out at parties
And drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’m supposed to be
And now I’m shopping for my groceries
And wondering what it’s like to die
And now I’m wondering if we ever will
When we’re all data in the sky?
You’ll see us dancing out at parties
And drinking smoothies made of grass
And with my many teeth I can't help but smile
You know, a picture makes it last
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’m supposed to be
If this is the new religion
Then where does that leave me?
I’m a zealot and a hypocrite
Just like I’ve been told to be
In his sophomore album, Public Life, Joshua Lee Turner weighs his life as a touring musician against a newfound appreciation for time spent at home. Turner embraces imperfection and limitation, choosing to record the album almost entirely to 4-track cassette and producing, mixing, and filming it in his apartment. With stripped-down arrangements, intimate lyrics, and virtuosic guitar playing, Public Life blends 1970s sounds with 2020 contemplations of home, friendship, work, and social media.

About Josh Turner Guitar
Joshua Lee Turner is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer based in Brooklyn, New York. Josh is best known for his UA-cam channel Josh Turner Guitar, where he has been posting eclectic cover performances and original music since he started the channel in 2007 at age 15.

In 2019, Josh released As Good a Place as Any, his first full-length album of original music.
My wife just watched you for the first time from over my shoulder. "Ooo, he's good." Now you have two old people fans.
Three. :-)
Four 🙂 , but already a few months.
I'm another "old fart" I've been watching Josh for years, and love how his music has grown and matured.
Six!
Oh, its a much bigger number than that
I'm a trucker and I listen to a lot of your music going down the road, I appreciate it brother... Gets me through the long days.
The removing-the-cat-from-the-table transition was a great edit.
Exactly!
I feel like with this album, Josh has fully explored and found his very own style. To me, it's somewhere in between The Beatles, Bowie and Paul Simon. I feel honored to be alive while Josh is making music.
same
Little bit of country in there too
a little James Taylor also
Maybe a bit from Cat Stevens?
I agree with the three of you! You could probably throw in a couple more influences but I just wanted to mention the three that seemed most prominent to me
Holy crap! I hear the Beatles. I hear Eric Clapton. But it's Joshua Lee Turner. Damn great tune. My second favorite on the album thus far, the first being "Nebraska Dreams." Damn, you're amazing. Keep doing.
This "kids" are the new generaton of beatles etc. etc. Thanks God.
This guy is the next Paul McCartney.
Cant help but hear a little Mickey Dolenz in his vocal too...
And a little James Taylor for sure. Either way, in great company.
Simon & Garfunkel too...complete with NYC references.
The song is pretty dang good. The star of the show is the video of dinner. Loved it.
God, that first solo, what a tone, like bittersweet mud, it should not get me like it does but it does.
“I’m a zealot and a hypocrite, just like I’m supposed to be” Nice line.
Singing for your supper, what great way to get fed
"With out glasses on, Monet." Awesome.
God! This is so GOOD! This is really popular music that belongs among the best Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Yes, Moody Blues, Aretha Franklin. You name it!!!!
When I see the cat waving, I know it will be awesome. :)
Lovely. Send a card to Paul Simon at Christmas because if he could still write like this, he would. Brilliant guitar work.
Ha great line, you nailed it! Awesome song
Someone should definitively send him a copy once the album is out!
Are you trying to suggest that this is better than Paul Simon?
@@atticustay1for some songs, yes!
The camera work is especially wonderful in this video! Thank you Kelly!
Wow!! Another instant classic from the man himself.
All Josh all the time. There is no comparison.
The melody, the lyrics, the solo. Everything is perfect, excellent job as always!! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Concordo
Josh come polistrumentista del secolo
Lorenzo Moffa ahaha esatto
Quoto👍
Finalmente qualche compatriota anche da Josh 😁
Once again , Josh ....... damn good !!!!! I'm one of your 70 year old fans ......
Great love song about how it sometimes is. Reality in real time somewhere in time. Tks Josh i can relate.
You will never be another Josh turner
Because you're such an excellent writer/player/singer it's easy to overlook just how good an arranger/producer you are...Everything is so well crafted and yet feels totally natural at the same time...1st rate, as ever...Thanks Josh
After the first few bars I was ready for:
"This is the greatest and best song in the world"
All joking aside, great song Josh!
Like always I must add. Keep it up man
Maybe it is the best song in the world. Maybe Josh remembered what the D could not...
Josh! One of the best artist I’ve ever heard. He deserve so much!!! His voice has something special and you feel that he is singing with his heart ❤️ I love that. I wish I could make a song with him one day 🙏
Best song from Josh so far. Truly amazing. With my many teeth I cant help but smile :)
Beautiful, original, upbeat... Damn...
Chicks, guitars, good food, wine...what more could a totally talented guy need?
Cool metronome cat, ahead of the beat at times maybe 😺😻😺 and cool calico cat...nearly bagged herself an extra dinner 😽😋😽 - that was just SO good! x
You are a true allrounder Josh. Your songwriting keeps getting better and I love the guitar solo!
That solo is just perfection
Josh you write in same class as Paul Simon ,one would think that he pen this song !I am amazed at your musical and production talent .Wishing you all the best .
Finalement, notre époque n'est pas si pourrie: Friday's the coolest day of the week ! Merci Josh.
There’s something about layering a voice that powerful. It’s adds a special energy. I like this
Most of the music icons from my generation are dying off. Most of today's music is fluff. Then comes Josh Turner to save music. Thank you thank you very much my friend. This song is great
So much talent I dont even know what to say.
Amazing song, awesome video, cute cat, beautiful plants.
3:33 that transition. Camera work is excellent!. I liked it
This Song is so so so Smoothie Groove Sugar Soul ...i love it. Amazing!!!!
Ahhhh.... To be young, good-looking, AND so very talented! All of you. You bring me joy.
My fav on the album. Loved that electric solo on ending.
Seriously. Your talent rivals Sir Paul. I’m 61 years old and grew up listening to the greats. Great work great talent. Thank you for good music in these times.
Wow,the breakout song! Outstanding.
Is there no end to this man's talents? Playing the guitar whilst operating a camera. Incredible!
Sounds a lot like Paul Simon. Wonderful song even better than the last ones. Simply amazing!
What a fantastic beautiful piece of music !!!!!!!!!
I'm a retired instrumental music teacher (public schools) and all my life I've enjoyed Pop/Rock/Blues/Funk, etc. for riffs/chords, etc but never got into lyrics....mainly because I was too shy to sing (dropped my vocal certification in college!) But now I'm alone with the blues and been singing along with tunes and enjoying your originals & covers for the last year, and you are my 'lyrics' guy...from the ground up...so meaningful!
Love how it turned into full on “rock out” song, very unique my friend. Awesome.
Beautiful
Why is this so f---ing good?!?
ALWAYS enjoy!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️☘☘☘☘☘🇺🇸
The sky is the limit for his talent!
Hello, Kitty! You just made today so much better.
that sir is one great song! that is a million seller!!
12-string and pick bass OMG I love it!
This music just keeps getting better...... you leave me speechless everytime, I wish there where more like you.
this album is the highlight of this bizarre time - thank you!
Awesome. And I really mean that exaggeration. This is the best song I have heard in a while.
My favorite phrase? "I’m a zealot and a hypocrite, Just like I’m supposed to be!" Man that one line is deep! Great lyrics, great voice! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing
You will have a hard time finding someone better than you in Nashville. Seriously.
Really?
@Billy Boy I'm not sure if he does session playing, but Joe Robinson is one of those unbelievably good guitarists in Nashville
@@CamKnoppMusic Joe does sessions. I think few guys there are wealthy enough to turn down a day of session work. ($$$)
Guitars extravaganza
Best ever Josh. Super excellent.
Always a pleasure Josh
Josh I don’t know what to say.....all I know is thank God for you and your talent. Just keep doing what you do man ! You give me so much hope in keeping “real” music alive 🙂👍
Few in Nashville can even touch you.
Yeah Josh, literally no one in Nashville is better than you
To be a better gutarist and to win such a competition in this upper area is like to be olympic champion on skateboard: Not really important and not serious. It is art and there is no winner but there are good musicians who are touching our heart. Nice song, nice low budget video!
one of the best songs I've heard lately👏
Disease . . . physical, political, and cultural may be ravaging our planet. But, as long as there's talent like Josh and his many talented friends among us, the future well-being of music is secure. It's well beyond entertainment. They speak to the soul of humanity. Cultural healing is bound to follow. Lead us out of the darkness, Josh.
Your music is so refreshing compared to anything else new out there presently. There’s an feeling of warmth and genuineness in your songs and the arrangements - they feel like an old friend, yet they are unique. The feeling I get when listening to them is similar to how I feel when listening to artists like Paul Simon, Bread, the Beatles, but the sound and the songs are uniquely you! Brilliant! Please, don’t allow modern producers/record companies to try and change this!!
Instant classic!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
so good
Whoa. its great.
So well written, performed, captured on film....it’s the whole enchilada! Get out there kid & show the world what you’ve got to offer. You can’t go to other countries right now, so now is the time to make it really big right here.
That is one awesome song
Best I've heard in 60 years you're on your way we cheer you forward thank you
A Cracking song!! And a fun video!
Excellent!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great song, great video, this is really kickin' it! Love it. Thanks!
Thank you from Waterford, Ireland
fantastic song, singing and guitar playing. And yes to the prior comment. Hard to find someone better than you in Nashville.
One of your best - and thats saying something!
Josh. You nailed it. Just great.
I seriously cannot get enough of this song
Very nice as per usual with you Josh.👍👍
Sound is amazing..thank 's Josh...
Very good song and very nice video, with the lovely Kelly Oden!
Joshua the legend
Thank you for the insight into your public life. Just great!
It's only a matter of time Josh. Keep grinding brother! The view will be worth it up there
You keep raising the bar, Josh. Love it. Love it. Also there’s something endearing about seeing those familiar faces around your table.
Wow, the guitar work in this one is so well done! Love the 12 string and the dirty sound on the lead. Every song so far sounds so polished.
That is the chunkiest (in an oh-so-wonderful way) 12 string I've einingver heard!! Full, digging but not biting, no whining, just straight up ooomph! Great tune! Thanks!
Brilliant, as usual.
awesome as always
My new favorite song. Great work
Love that electric tone at 3:17 to 3:33
That's good ! in a pop mood ! Thanks Josh !
Just fabulous. You had me smiling from the first bars. You are getting better all the time. From a long time fan in New Zealand.
I like the energy filled songs the most. I like the electric guitar in combination with acoustic!
Absolutely fabulous!
Un-real! So good!
Bought this album and can't stop listening to it. It takes me through so many different emotions, it's an amazing collection of beautiful music and thoughtful lyrics. So much talent in one young man, Joshua is truly blessed. I'd love to meet him someday just to shake his hand and let him know how much I enjoy his work.
