- My solo debut album "As Good A Place As Any" Available everywhere 4/5. Ten new original songs including a studio version of this one! Oh yeah, and I'm thinking of migrating toward my full name, Joshua Lee Turner, to put confusion with the country singer to rest once and for all.

A huge thanks to Carson and Taylor for sitting in on this one, and to Taylor's cat for making a significant unplanned cameo.

astride the divide
between childhood and lies
mischaracterised
romantic in retrospect
twenty surrogate sons
a hundred ten in the summertime
all I knew about life
was a handful of water
forgetting the line
between action and consequence
parsing my place between fate and happenstance
after a love in which I was so shameless
nineteen and aimless
nineteen and aimless
trip down the stairs
its not sneaking when no one cares
counting on claire
and basking in misery
forgetting the line
between action and consequence
parsing my place between fate and happenstance
after a love in which I was so shameless
nineteen and aimless
nineteen and aimless
come with me
bathe in memory
I didn't know who to be
but I knew I wasn't blameless
forgetting the line
between action and consequence
parsing my place between fate and happenstance
after a love in which I was so shameless
nineteen and aimless
nineteen and aimless
before wine became a close acquaintance
before my college bands tried to get famous
but after a love in which I was so shameless
nineteen and aimless
nineteen and aimless
Chris Osmoe very close, thanks so much! A few edits:
between childhood and *lies
Between *fate and happenstance
my pleasure to type them up! happy to know I nearly got it, as it happens I had "fate and happenstance" after listening to the second chorus but changed it as wasn't one hundred percent sure! (damn) Feel I should be thanking you though! Really love this song, can't wait 'til the album! From one Harry Potter to another
These lyrics are sublime Josh Turner Guitar.
You forgot the meow
What a sensational trio!!!!
Sequal song: Ninety and Toothless
hahahahaha
The first time I read this, I thought it said '19 and Toothless', in reference to meth or our crummy healthcare system.
Saw these guys live in Columbus a few nights ago. This song was one of many high points. Their live gig had the feel of being on the “ground floor” of something great.
Also, “before my college bands tried to be famous” is one of the best lines I’ve heard in a while.
Nice photograph...
Get it? 'Cause...
i'll let myself out
Saw them in Atlanta last Sunday. Really good show!
Is the album not on Spotify?
@@pieterparlevliet8762 its out everywhere on 4/5
Good Comment Man I was at the Columbus show too!
ok - I'm 61 years old and I gave up on most music after 1976 - but tonight I found this video and for the first time in over 40 years I can honestly say that this song is the BEST example of original, beautiful music that I've heard in all these years. Josh, thank God for you and your amazing talent - and your friends are extremely talented as well. you have a new fan in me.
still listening 2024!
Dude this is the type of stuff modern music needs. PLEASE keep this up.
Josh Turner you are breath of fresh air to this world of music when so much garbage is pumped across the airwaves. You, Carson, Taylor, Reina del Cid, Toni Lindgren, Allison Young and all the other "younger" musicians who are keeping "raw" music alive. No distortion, no effects, just beautiful music that transcends generations and is timeless. I can't thank all of you enough for this beautiful music. Real music.
I have to say that in all my 61 years I have never heard such a talent. Josh just blows me away. He shows a genuine love for the music and he brings together other people with the same joy. Just amazing.
Haven't heard this song for a while, this is an absolute masterpiece! Excellent performance from everyone (including the cat 😸). I just keep pressing the replay button now!
This song might be one of the best modern Indie-Folk tunes. Everything fits. Beautiful melody (especially with that Stratocaster), smart lyrics and just very smooth in every aspect. Truly, a masterpiece. Thanks Josh and Carson. Cheers.
*telecaster
@@alexlefebvre3924 Come on, man
Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Jimi Hendrix all in one song!
I think it also has a hint of the Avett Brothers as well
Nice description.
@Thomas Lyons Thank you, Prof. Lyons
@@jeannie1renee2 you may notice that everyone sings on key in today's world.
@@UncleKennysPlace, really? On the contrary, I notice quite a few singers today who couldn't carry a tune if their life depended on it. Have you ever seen a video of Taylor Swift singing in a live concert and how she sounds if the music is taken away?
I remember when I was 19. Over 42 years ago!😎 Aimless is a pretty good description. Also the word freedom comes to mind. Aimless and free.
the beautiful cat enjoyed the melody, very special moment imo
I think it wanted to be pet haha
I’m aged 67 and I still love to see and hear young people play guitars and sing as they try to make sense of their lives. Truly wonderful, not to mention refreshing.
65 Australia... How amazing these kids appeal to all ages...I've worked with some of the worlds biggest names in entertainment and this is something amazing..
Most appealing to this long time music lover. Can't believe your diversity and depth of musicality. Amazing and masterful. Thank you J Lee Turner.
This song is the cat's meow
Jon thats the truth ha ha.I love it.
Hey man.
I'm a young guy. 2 years younger than nineteen, specifically.
I've had a kind of bad day today and, in hindsigt, maybe a bad year. A lot of time wasted on brooding..
I'm really glad I heard your song. It connected with me and tucked a bit on my lil' heartstrings. I think, your song just might have eased me a bit out of this hole I'd dug myself down into.
Thanks a lot, man. I'm sincerely looking forward to hearing the rest of the album
Lots of love
- Asbjørn
Bro, lots of love to you too. this year could be yours!
Good luck with the band _Acid,_ if you're still with it, in any case, best wishes for the future!
Happy new year to you, Asbjørn! Wish you all the best. Greetings from Brazil.
I'm an old man now. I had to preface my comment with that truth. At Seventeen I was completely lost and also in a deep hole of my own making. I only comment here to you because I think back about how it might have made a big difference in my life had somebody realized I needed some advise. As it was for me, it took me half my life to learn how to live in harmony with those I love most. I would suggest that you first forget about how you got yourself in the hole you refer to. Hating yourself for what you did yesterday will not help you, it will only harm your spirit with negativity. What you might consider is realizing that, no matter what you did yesterday (good or bad) in no way assures what you will do today or tomorrow. Yesterday is over, so start out each day as if yesterday didn't happen. Each day, find something positive to do. Either for yourself or for someone else. Never do anything thinking you should get immediate positive feedback. Do it only for the feeling of doing something worthwhile, for yourself or for someone else. If you do this, in a short period of time you will realize that bad feelings only come when you feel you have failed to do something positive. Go to bed tonight thinking of something positive you can do tomorrow. You will then find it easier to go to bed content (tomorrow evening) knowing you tried to fulfill that promise and something (no matter how small) was accomplished. I got myself into a pretty addiction by the time I was Seventeen. It doesn't really matter what kind of addiction it was as they are all destroyers of hope. So, if you're suffering from those kinds of distractions, find a way to break from them. Find something you love doing and start the journey into whatever that is. Be patient as you start that journey as things worthwhile and with real lasting value don't always come overnight. Let your accomplishments describe who you are. You might not get immediate feedback from the people you love but over time they will know you not by the way you talk, but by the way you walk. I sincerely hope this will help you. Peace my Brother.
From a 19 year old person (almost 20) stay calm everything will go smooth and easy and if you'll face some problems remember that it needs time for the water to rearrange the rock ✌️
This generation needs a lot of artists like you. Just seeing you and Carson mckee play any song together makes me happy. Flawed and now this one. Honest, perfection and melody. Huge Respect for you josh and carson. Keep shining. Lots of Love from Manipur, India
1:21 meow
this should be pinned
Lol
The kitty was so special,, the way you all smiled at each other, acknowledging the timing. The SONG!! INCREDIBLE!!! NICE TOUCH.
Thanks Josh and Carson and friend, at 67 you helped me remember being 19 and aimless and clueless and faithless and how wonderful it was.
I recently had the pleasure of seeing these two extremely talented young men perform in Newport, KY. I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve seen Josh perform since he was a young man. His talent knows no boundaries. Like many truly talented musicians, he is often unaware of the depth of his talents and his humility is both endearing and problematic as it can limit what he’s willing to try. This first cut off his solo album is an excellent example of all that is Josh...talent, creativity, humility and the promise of greatness. Carson and Taylor are excellent musicians as well. I mean, how many RUclips videos get the cat to spontaneously give a standing ovation & bravo (meow)? Best wishes to you Joshua Lee Turner!
Cats are such beautiful animals and everyone's smile when "meow" is contagious
Beautifull..56 yr old man in the UK..Tears of pure joy.Thank You all...
This is an original? Wow, wow, wow, Josh. I haven’t heard such a solid lyric in forever. And the groove was gorgeous. Wow, wow, wow.
I’m mesmerised by the kitty and Josh’s voice
I've listened to the studio version of this song 100+ times. Definitely your best original. Absolutely love it!
Been watching from a distance for past couple years. 56 years old. Gives me hope for the future of singer-songwriters. Peace.
Joshua Lee Turner I love you. What a great song and I cannot wait for the album. You made this fan a very happy man. Hi to Carson and Taylor too. Keep up the great work.
this should be number one in the charts because it deserves to be
Will the cat make an appearance on the studio version?
Which one, the swining or the chilling one? (aka the chinese cat always in the bookcase or the alive one)
I think the cat's releasing a solo album...
I always listen to this song two times in a row. And I get chills everytime.
Damn, that's a hit. Grammy material. 🏆
Josh is getting better with each and every video. Your vocals were as strong as I have heard them on this! Great work.
Excellent song with great harmonies and Hendrix like riffs. Loved the cat!
there was never any confusion here. This is the first of your originals that I've listened to. You have an amazing talent for understatement, always straight forward and the perfect sound to fit perfectly in your heart. Wonderful
I just discovered this. Fantastically well-written song, great voice, great performance, what could there possibly be not to like? Awesome music.
Joshua Lee Turner and Carson, plus Taylor and the cat: *_Aimless_* as a breathe of fresh air! 😌💭🎶 Thank you all!
facite non victimarum carson buddy hollie stays in his position rhytem guitar n vocal...marvelous as usual... 😉😍
love the Structure of this one！It surprises me that the way the Intro goes into the verse of guitar playing. The feelings in guitar riffs says very much, make the song very mellow
IMHO Joshua Lee Turner is a kickass sounding artist name, and definitely sets you apart from the country singer. Been following you since your Ave Verum Corpus cover on Banjo, and your growth has been awesome and inspiring man. Love where this is going!
Great song. Does not get enough credit. The lyrics are excellent. The melody is smooth. I still like The Levee as their best original, but this song is a close second, imho.
Josh Turner is so good....it sounds like his voice is changing a little....and sounding even better. He and Carson are two of my favorites.
Love this song.
This song is a hit. All it’s needs is promo.
I love how you all aren't afraid to accompany each other. I think that says, so much, about how the music is the focus. Not the egos. Just, "let's make some beautiful noise, together." Bravo, ladies and gents. Bravo!
Saw you guys last night, you played Bush Hall, London. You were amazing. Made my night when Carson was in same queue for cashpoint. Awesome selfie with him.
Just seen you play this in London, uk. Could not get the hook out of my head afterwards. This is a great piece of songwriting. Fabulous, thank you!
I've had this song stuck in my head since Wednesday. Glad I can listen to it as much as I want now.
Carson and Taylor have seriously beautiful harmonies. Josh's playing is wonderful on this track.
"i fucked up the brigde part"
carson are u out of your mind that was perfect
There is a very special quality to this song. Its mellowness and your harmonizing voices, that reminds me of angelic gospels, creates a feeling of arrival. Yet I find it hard to put into words quite where your music makes me arrive. Somewhere between a dreamlike state and distant memories of childhood and home.
Im looking forward to hearing more of you, Joshua.
"All I knew about life was a handful of water." Love that line. Pure poetry. Are you the same guys that did For What It's Worth? video? You're on your way. Keep it up. Work hard. Stay grounded. You're super-talented.
I was glad to hear this song live in Stuttgart yesterday which was awesome. It got stuck in my head.
I missed the cat though.
What a piece of beautiful handcrafted breathtaking melody you guys wrote this time. Thank you for your music. Gonna buy this asap.
Yeah, this is a great song. That guitar part is fantastic. Top tier. Lyrics gave me a Paul Simon vibe which is wonderful. Well done. I'm very happy to hear some ooohs and ahhhhhs in the background. You and your friends have the talent to pull those background vocals off and they will almost always make a song/performance better. Very impressive stuff.
Listened to it once and it's already stuck in my head
Update: I'm still coming back every once in a while
Fewer than one in 600 subscribers are Patreon supporters. Join the hard-core fans , people. A dollar a song? A dollar a month even. Sorry to be a noodge but it really does feel good
what a treat and so refreshing to see so many talented young artists that are playing great tunes, not just playing power chords and yelling.
We watched it because of the cat. Song is great too. Cat should be your mascot. Seriously, it was a great song.
From your videos I thought Carson was the better vocalist of the two of you. After seeing you live last night in Berlin I have a little crush on your voice. Your voice was brilliant live. Way better than listening to it on my laptop ... Thank you for a truly wonderfull concert! It was totally worth it, even though we had to wait over half an hour in cold wind at a dark train station on the way home.
Josh is a talented guitar player with many memorable songs. This is his best vocal so far in my view.
1:46... your music is so good that the cat does a standing ovation... well done for the harmos!
This song still resonates with me at 24. Really hit my emotions and recollective retrospect. Great song 🙏
Dude I love that opening riff. Also, someone get that cat a record contract.
Josh and friends, you have the power to make people happy 🌞
There is something so organic and earthy and calming about Josh's music. Instantly a classic, this song is just perfect. And yes, the cat adds to the ambiance :D
the lyrics, the melody, and everything is just perfect.... as always :)
Absolutely incredible
Josh, Carson, Taylor and Puss! There's nothing like a little spontaneity with such professionalism!!! It's pure quality! That meow was perfect timing!
What a great song.... what a great vibe... makes me feel all yummy and happy to be alive. Thank you.
Loved it ! Has a young James Taylor feel to it .Love all your videos .
My thoughts exactly!!
@@LisaDawnn timbre...sorry
@@floridaman355 There's a jerk comment about every video on RUclips you are just one of them
Spoken like a Real gentleman .Try to relax a bit and enjoy life a little .
@@floridaman355 You can sing and play better ? Prove it ! Post your on video I'll be to first to comment on it Have a nice life .
Nineteen and Aimless is a hit. I thought at first it was a cover of some old song I had never heard. When I finally understood that it is an Original piece....WOW. Let me know when you are performing in Portland OR...we would love hear you live.
The first fifty-or-so times I listened to this, and as great Josh & Carson are, I struggled to hear Taylor. So I bought much better headphones, and the second fifty-or-so times, I could just hear her, off to my left, such complementary harmonies. Phew! Y'all too much. Endless Thanks.
This song hits exactly the right spot for me. I'm eighteen now and have been having long conversations with my parents and the people around me about this theme for the last months. I just came out of a relationship where I hurt someone greatly because of my inability to judge my feelings well and predict the consequences of my actions. Now I'm on the brink of a new love and afraid to hurt someone again. Obviously, the line 'forgetting the line between action and consequence' hits hard, but 'I didn't know who to be, but I knew I wasn't blameless' just perfectly puts my fear and anger towards myself to words. Thank you Josh. You make me feel like I'm not alone.
Much respect to you guys from an old head, trombone and bass player. Really enjoy what you are putting out!!! Keep it coming!!
Wow; ten odd years have past and you don't look any different; just ten times more talented. Loving the origanals.
Joshua Lee Turner, I think the name change is a really good idea. You're actually quite hard to search for because the other Josh always turns up first by quite a way. Love your music by the way. Going to see you in Glasgow soon!!
Subscribing solves the issue :)
@@tlabelle1965 haha yes of course I'm subscribed. But if you tell someone word of mouth, and they head off and google them, that's where the problem lies.
Yes I wondered why a mate couldn’t find him after I told him to search Josh Turner > so i thought I’d check Apple Music and found his albums only by searching ‘The Other Favourites’
I saw them in Somerville, MA last night. I have been listening to this on repeat all morning!
Among the MANY things I love about these guys, is their natural performance. They are as tight as a snare drum. Despite cats, train whistles, sirens, loud neighbors, sweat bees (LOL)! rushing rivers etc. etc. they play right through. They can play anything, anytime, anywhere! But then as a bonus, we get to see a little of the action before and after (and sometimes during) the take. They are astonishingly talented musicians but letting us see "the man behind the curtain" was/is genius!
I'm glad that I found your channel. Your music really amazed me.
So this sweet song showed itself in my recommendations. And I said huh, from 2 years ago. I am well versed in the Josh Turner and all the Other Favorites. A compilation of Uber talented musicians and singers who compose their own songs, arrange, play, edit and upload for this RUclips audience's enjoyment. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the ingenious cover songs by said individuals. So enough about the backstory. 19 and Aimless is so very relatable, well-written and performed by these intrinsically musical young people. I have reached 58 years on this planet and can so truthfully state (musically): "I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger". Alas, that can all be chalked up to the growing up, or maturing, process
So. I am grateful I am still finding these chestnuts on YT for my listening pleasure. Can't state how wonderful it is, finding & listening to your songs. A great part of what has kept my mind at ease and at the same time, filled my heart and soul with your beautiful music. Please do keep writing, playing and posting. I will be sure to listen to Josh Turner and the Other Favorites. Peace ✌ ☮
Last night I saw you with my friends in a tiny music bar Prulcek, Ljubljana, Slovenia, touring with Reina and Toni. I was so pleasantly surprised you visited and played in our small country. :) So cool! This says a lot about you. I had the opportunity to talk shortly with all three of you, bought your CDs that you kindly signed (yours, before it was officially released!). Such sweet young people with mighty old souls. Golden hands on instruments and sharing voices in perfect harmonies. As I said to you, I've been folowing you on YT for some time now, thanks to my best friend Tomaž that introduced you to me, amazed from the first encounter, never ever disappointed, and yesterday it was beautifull to see live how you become music each time you play and sing. Again, all three of you. So respectfully and humbly. To me, perfect musicians. And at such age. Man ... Anyway, I had to say this. :) Best of luck in your music and in life, we will continue listening to you with joy and watching you transform into a world class legend that to us you already are. Till next time. Nasvidenje prihodnjič! :)
Amazing gig in Brussels yesterday. This song was a really special moment...
The concert in Stuttgart yesterday was absolutely great, thank you so much! And for bringing along the new CD :)
Great song and arrangement. And nice to see Taylor back! I really liked your work with her and Amber (Valerie!)
I'M BUYIN THIS AS SOON AS I CAN
Of course I am never going to be able to listen to a studio version of this. If I don't hear a beautiful kitty meow mid song, it just won't be the same:))
You and your friends really are inspiring. Thanks for continually sharing. I have really enjoyed following you and look forward to watching you have a prolific career.
One of the best songs musically and lyrically I’ve heard in a very long time. Really great work guys!
This channel just gets better and better - and this is just amazing - Josh, call yourself anything you like, I'll still follow your channel to hell and back.
Waterworks over here - takes me back to feeling like this. You're all so talented, soooo good.
This is a brilliant song! Such a great unexpected chord progression in the verses and then a more conventional chorus with great lyrics. "Before my college bands tried to get famous" made me smile with nostalgia. I went to FSU and played in a few bands and tried to make it.
This is amazing and beautiful. Cat knew what's up :)
Beautiful. Absolutely brilliant! Even the cat feels it!
Well done hon, this is a great hook song, but your honesty and self reflection is what lifts it up another level. And I like the name change, it suits you. Best of luck with the new album!
These kids are going places!
Amazing talent!
I’ve had this on repeat ever since this video came out. Can’t wait for the album!
I love that you can do any genre bluegrass to r&b and anything in between. You guys are awesome
In one word: fantastic!
I love this song, beautiful guitar playing, great vocal melody and lyrics.
keep it up guys, this is great!
Ok so I guess I'll have this song stuck in my head all day THANKS!!! lol
beautiful, just beautiful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job guys, in this modern crazy world, this is real talent, and we need this, thank you!
