    this is an absolutely fucking brilliant song. the album is spectacular. it sounds like the best of mid 70's psych-folk but there is no need to compare it to any other bands because it stands alone as a reminiscent yet fresh and original sound.

      Ben Burton So very well said. Yes. JW is pretty close to it, for me, musically. Every record he puts out is brilliant. At least to my mind they are. And then there’s his touring with Tom a Petty, producing music by Roger Waters and having killer (people in the know might call it legendary) Laurel Canyon parties. Crosby and Nash stopping over to jam. I mean...wow!

    This song began playing on the NPR station while my son screamed in his car seat. He suddenly stopped crying, then began to cry again when it ended. So I took note of this but dismissed it as a fluke. Since then when we drive (he hates being in the car seat) I play it on repeat and he will stay calm. When I stop playing it he freaks out again. So, who cares what I think of this song? My 15 week old apparently loves it!! Thank you!!

    Wow - strange freaky video. It reminds me somehow of Carlos Castaneda's shamanic experiences. Wonderfully creative stuff, with some fine influences such as early Pink Floyd, America, Eagles, Gillian Welch (in my estimation)! The music has a valuable spiritual meaningfulness and humility. It is greatly adding to the quality of my Springtime 2012 experience, here in the UK. Thank you, Jonathan and friends!

    Fuzzy white haze in the asphalt was a lake
    And the sand it was a grayish shade of blue
    Spirits held desire
    While my eyes they did admire
    The evening that we only thought we knew
    Further out to see
    I heard the birds wings over me
    The vibrations in the air through my ears
    The sun was rising slinking low
    The day was saddled up to go
    The desert's lonely nightfall disappear
    The raven who flies through the desert sky
    Is wiser than you or me
    The birds have a peace
    The stillness a sleeve
    And the desert raven he has poetry
    Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night
    Crystal blue will turn to ruby red
    The plants become a maze under the heavens starry hazel
    Pegasus he gallops over head
    The buffalo at night they follow close the river's edge while
    Saffron slowly grows inside the cage
    The starry minds of hyacinth the moon below the sun's eclipse
    The sandy canyon floats beyond the wave
    The raven who flies through the desert sky
    Is wiser than you or me
    The birds have a peace
    The stillness a sleeve
    And the desert raven he has poetry

    Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night
    Crystal blue will turn to ruby red
    The plants become a maze under the heavens stary hazel
    Pegasus he gallops overhead
    The buffalo at night they follow close the river's edge while
    Saffron slowly grows inside the caves
    The starry minds of hyacinth the moon below the sun's eclipse
    The sandy canyon floats beyond the waves
    The raven who flies through the desert skies
    Is wiser than you or me
    The birds have a peace, the stillness a sleeve
    And the Desert Raven he has poetry"
