There's a reason for the sun-shining sky
And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us
 
So let that feeling grab you deep inside
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go stealing
Through the moonlit nights with your lover
 
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
 
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candlelights
Must be the season
When those love rights shine all around us
 
So let that wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Just feel the thunder
As it warms your face, you can't hold back
 
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
 
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
 
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams.

Do what I want 'cause I can and if I don't, because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored, because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve 'cause I give and receive, because I wanna
Gonna get through your head, what the mystery man said, because I'm gonna
 
Hate to say I told you so, all right!
Come on!
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you know
'Cause I wanted to!
 
Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot, because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait, because I wanna
No need 2, 3, too late, because I'm gonna.
 
Hate to say I told you so, all right!

Gonna call all the shots for the no's and the not's, because I wanna

'Cause what I know I'll tell, because I wanna
Sound advice and lots of ice, I'll spell my name out loud, because I wanna
Oh, yeah!

         Anders Osborne(born May 4, 1966 in Uddevalla, Sweden) is an American singer-songwriter. He tours solo and with a band, and often plays in North Mississippi Osborne
       (N.M.O), a group formed by Osborne and North Mississippi Allstars.
         As a teen, Osborne started playing guitar and listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Joni Mitchell records. He was influenced by the vocal styles of Ray Charles, Van Morrison and Lowell George, Robert Johnson and recordings of African drumming. "Blues connected everything together for me," Osborne recalls. "The early rock, the R&B, the jazz, the singer-songwriters. Blues was like a thread running through everything." He began playing in Open D tuning, which gives his fretwork a signature sound and feel. "I first heard Open D on Joni Mitchell's Blue," he says, "and my fingers just fit the tuning."
Standing with angels now
you didn't go gently
into the night
Standing with the Maker now
You're done raging
against the light
Standing with angels now
 
All your troubles have turned
Least we have the memories
Living caused you too much hurt
The pain you had has set you free
Yeah you're free now
 
Standing with angels now
you didn't go gently into the night
Standing with the maker now
You're done raging against the light
Standing with angels now
 
Things round here don't change
Still tryin' to do too much
Without you it ain't the same
But it helps to know that you're watching us
Yeah you're watching us
 
Standing with angels now
you didn't go gently into the night
Standing with the maker now
You're done raging against the light
Standing with angels now
 
Standing with angels now
Standing with angels now
Standing with angels now
Standing with angels now
Standing with angels now
Yeah, standing with angels now
Standing with angels now
Standing with angels now.

          I CANNOT GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE SINGER AND THE MUSIC.   
I’d wake up every morning
I see the Sun rise every day
I’d wake up every morning
I see the Sun rise every day
 
You know I‘ll never get more sleep at night
Not till the moonlight fades away
A little love from you honey
That’s all ever really need
A little love from you honey
That’s all ever really need
 
Just some peace and understanding baby
You will put my poor heart, my poor heart at ease
If you ask me to jump, baby
You know I would fly
If you ask me to jump, baby
You know I would fly
And if you ask me to shoot myself woman
You know that I would surely die
 
I sit around all night
I drink away I drink away my blues
I sit around around all night
I drink away I drink away my blues
But ain’t enough whiskey baby
To drink away my love for you.
