Golden
(Andrew Combs)
Chunk of Coal Publishing (SESAC)
Golden, golden, child of mine
A touch of green, feathers fine
Rare is the notion, sweet is the potion
Bird of youth, teach her to fly
One foot in front of the other, that’s right
She might slip, but she’s reaching for the light
Golden, golden, blue eyed girl
Your momma’s touch in a wild world
I’m taking note of what’s taking place
She’s learning how to shine each and every day
One foot in front of the other
I’ll be right here, if there’s too much ground to cover
And the leaves fall all around her
And the trees tower above her
With wisdom in their stare
And flowers in her hair
Always golden
One foot in front of the other, that’s right
She might slip, but she’s reaching for the light
And the leaves fall all around her
And the trees tower above her
With wisdom in their stare
And flowers in her hair
Always golden
Forever golden
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022
He is masterful on the piano. Robert Ellis writes songs that grab your attention and are very well written and often times catchy and witty. I love the fact he mostly used the piano on this one. I wish more artists followed this pattern. Yimmy Kil
