Jacksonport - Free Saturday (“FL&R”)

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) song each Saturday.

      “Western Stars” has a melodic calmness and vocal beauty. The song is from Jacksonport, the project name of John Fatum. Jacksonport was named for a small town in Door County, the peninsula on the eastern edge of Wisconsin. Fatum grew up in Brooklyn, but spent summers in Jacksonport.

     In addition to John Fatum with the acoustic guitar and percussion, contributors to “Western Stars” were Julian Pollack (aka “J3P0”) on keyboards and Taylor Ashton on banjo. Fatum is the lead vocalist, with harmony vocals provided by Hannah Read, David Moss, and Taylor Ashton.

Lyrics of “Western Stars” by Jacksonport

Who are you

And who am I

To watch the world go by?

Sipping from the moon

Between bites of apple pie

We're two little lights

At the edge of a dock

Two little lights: Western Stars

Burning bright

We guide the night

The whole world's dark

It's a little bit cold out here

But the sky's so clear

I can see alright

Now look me in the eyes

I know you see yourself in mine

I see a troubled mind

That's a little bit lost out here

But if you choose

There's a path in front of you

The starlight's shining through

The corner of your windowpane.

We're two little lights: Western Stars

Burning bright

We guide the Night

The whole world's dark

It's a little bit cold out here

But the sky's so clear

I can see alright

Two little lights: Western Stars

Burning bright we guide the night

The whole world's dark

It's a little bit cold out here

But the sky's so clear

I can see alright

I can see alright
