Save Somebody Else
(Andrew Combs, Jeff Trott)
Chunk of Coal Publishing (SESAC) / Mortal and Pestle / Ole Music Publishing ASCAP)
Chitter chatter in the morning
Static in the afternoon
The radio is on and humming
An apocalyptic tune
I can see the fires burning
Over off the western slope
At least somebody’s out there trying
Squawking on a megaphone
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
Save somebody, save somebody else
The masquerade is finally over
Now you’re down to one last chance
What’s the use in taking cover
Grab a hand for one last dance
A hand for one last dance
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
Save somebody, save somebody else
Stars, they shine on their own
Stars, they shine even when they’re gone
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
If you want to save yourself
Save somebody, save somebody else

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
