“I Just Want to Live” is easily the most upbeat song that was ever written about a fatal surgery mishap, and his jazzy reworking of the Kinks’ “A Well Respected Man” becomes Rouse’s own tune. With an effortlessly natural transition, “Princess On The Porch” segues from a heartbreaking folk tune into an upbeat indie-pop number catchy enough to stay in your head for days on end. The intimate acoustic ballad “Michigan” opens with Rouse’s whisper-textured voice singing beautifully over a singular guitar, setting the tone with increasing intensity. The set comprises 10 previously unreleased outtakes from Rouse’s personal collection and 13 live songs recorded from New Year’s Eve 2003 during his world tour of the much celebrated 1972 album. I rise with the birds and I set with the Sunįorget about those plans, forget about those plans…Ī few bars of Chorus progression end it out, and finally it end on a slow melody line over the G and A chord.The Smooth Sounds of Josh Rouse is an awesome accompaniment to Rykodisc’s 2004 DVD by the same title. I still live each day like a very last one My children have grown and I’m still standing here Yeah, the days turn to months and the months into years I had a lot of fun with a long legged girlĪnd we threw our arms ‘round this humdrum worldįorget about those plans, the future’s here a last… I thought long I thought hard on the right way to live So I just shook his hand, forgot about my plans… You sit still or you roam something’s bound to happen It’s all in the air it’s a lot like magic So I took that line and I wrote this song He said you live each day like a very last one I didn’t want it at first then I said alright. Since I took the time to type out the lyrics (Josh’s handwriting isn’t very legible) I’ll go ahead and publish them: Lyrics for “A Lot Like Magic” by Josh Rouse from The Happiness Waltz album. You can pick it up pretty fast from that video. So it’s like Gmaj7 – A – Dmaj7 – Gmaj7 – A – Bm – A. 1972, the latest outing from Nebraskan-gone-Nashvillian singer/songwriter Josh Rouse, actually signals a jump forward in time for him, despite its retrofitting.His last effort, 2002's Under Cold. On the solo part it’s almost exactly the chords of the chorus, except it begins on the Gmaj7.
The Chorus progression is: Em – A – Dmaj7 – Gmaj7 – Em – A – Bm – A. The oft-delayed No Time to Die has finally arrived, and it provides the bittersweet closure for this tenure of 007 that. Daniel Craig as James Bond prepares to shoot in No Time To Die, an EON Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios film. I’m just thinking of the open names for these shapes.) There is one little twist in the verse: On the third line the progression switches to: G – A – G – A – Bm. Craig's final 'Bond' outing an emotional affair. The opening riff, which is the same as most of the verse is: Bm – F#m – G – A – D (That’s not transposed up 5 half steps like it should be. If you’re wanting to learn to play this, then this Rhapsody Video should be all you need:Īs you can see from the video, he puts a capo on the fifth fret. I love the production and the sound quality of the video, and what’s even better, most of the video shows his chord frettings, enough that I could pick out the entire arrangement with each chord. Then by chance, in March, when Josh was at SxSW, Rhapsody filmed him singing this very tune. But I couldn’t pick out the chords by ear.
I was like “Damn, that chorus is as good as Van Morrison!” The music, the words, the theme of the song, everything attracted me. The first time I heard it, it blew me away. And the highest bidder won a hand written signed lyric sheet. Now, to be fair, I don’t know Josh, but he had been doing these “StageIt” shows on the internet in which audience members could participate as well as donate to the artist. And as I was sorting what I needed to keep from the rubbage, there it was: the hand written lyric sheet for “A Lot Like Magic” that Josh had mailed me last fall. Well, I was cleaning off one of my counters this morning, all the paper and junk mail had piled up.
