lyrics

I wanna feel something; wanna run
I wanna get back to where I’m coming from
I wanna walk like Jesus on the water
If just to get the old band back together

I wanna feel right, I wanna waste your time
I wanna hold you in my arms and take rest in your mind
I want the still light to catch me by surprise
And say a prayer for nearly nothing

I wanna hope in a good that isn’t lonely
I want the steady wind to be the arms that hold me
I wanna climb the tree that looks over everything
And proclaim it’s all love overflowing

I wanna hope in a God that holds me on the line
I wanna hold him in my arms and take rest in his mind
I want the still light to catch me by surprise
Saying a prayer for nearly nothing

I want the whole damn cycle in a day
I want the crowded chaos to up and fade
Into a routine rhythm of just staying put
Inside the tried and trusted, tested good
I wanna feel right I wanna waste your time
I wanna hold you in my arms and take rest in your mind
I want the still light to catch me by surprise
Saying a prayer for nearly nothing

Valley Of Heart's Delight
by Margo Cilker

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovan

supported by 4 fans who also own “Prayer for Nearly Nothing (feat. Ben Green's Brass Band)”

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
