Jeffrey Foucault | "Northbound 35" (The Living Room Sessions: Bonus Session)

[@strangetribe]

Every ticket costs the same for where you can't go... how darkly and wonderfully poetic

[@ionaayachi2954]

'And the sky spun around With her diamonds on fire We fought all night and then we danced In your kitchen You were as much in my hands As water or darkness or nothing Can ever be held It's just flashes that we own Little snapshots Made of breath and of bone And out on the darkling plain alone They light up the sky' Superb! Poetry at its finest!

[@johnmarshall9820]

Have listend to Richard Shindell perform this for years, a real favorite! Until today, I had no clue Jeffrey wrote it. Two definitive versions, one beautiful song! Thanks to both of you for brightening my day!

[@aprilcatherine1957]

Love that line "Grace is just the measure of a fall". Love this song

[@gertstronkhorst2343]

Had the pleasure and privilege of seeing him live yesterday. Magical!

[@scottgarvey3253]

Where ? Solo ?

[@brendonleary]

This J35 sounds so perfect. Such a wonderful song.

[@googlymoogly64]

For those asking for the chords, it's a capo on the second fret, then Verse (x4): C - G - / Am - F - / Chorus (x2): G - F - / C - G - / Am - F - / C - G - / Every now and then he strums a chord a bit longer, and the second time through the chorus goes back into the verse progression, but that's basically it.

[@cgmahony]

I always associate googlymoogly with Frank Zappa. R ye a fan?

[@gregkelly5883]

My God, what a beautifully written and sung song.

[@scottgarvey3253]

Pure poetry

[@Kj-lz4us]

That is the greatest song I have ever heard in my life

Northbound 35 Through the iron hills Under infidel skies It's two hundred miles to drive You won't be home I saw an elsebound train On the overpass In the driving rain Every ticket costs the same For where you can't go CHORUS: Mustang horses, champagne glasses Anything frail anything wild It's the price of living motion What's beautiful is broken And grace is just the measure of a fall So I rolled into your town I passed the smokestacks And the ore docks down off of Main street And the sky spun around With her diamonds on fire We fought all night and then we danced In your kitchen You were as much in my hands As water or darkness or nothing Can ever be held CHORUS It's just flashes that we own Little snapshots Made from breath, from bone And out on the darkling plain alone They light up the sky It's 51 and driving south Ain't it funny How things'll turn out I never even kissed you on the mouth When we said goodbye, goodbye CHORUS

[@AdjustableWaistband]

Coming to JF & Redbird a little late… sad that I wasn’t listening to it a long time ago.. Love this guy’s music..

[@laurapeterson8159]

Fantastic. I'll need this song the rest of my life.

[@bullockphoto]

God, what a gorgeous tune. Jeffrey's songs bleed honesty, heartbreak, loneliness, beauty, and wisdom... I will never tire of hearing him.

[@juliee518]

his music goes straight to my soul...

[@StarstoneSilvermoon]

You canceled your tours in Montana.... because our governor believes in many freedoms that you do not agree with... that's on you... good riddance..

[@osumoni]

Pure genius. Voice, lyrics, emotion, all of it.

[@Forcebound5]

My favorite artist of all time over night. Truly amazing talent.

[@chadbonivtch4687]

My favorite song

[@dippshow]

Stumbled on Jeffery a week ago, haven't listened to anything else since.

[@peterrhines1516]

one of my favorites, have seen him atleast a half dozen times.

[@JackAttak]

This is a universally beautiful song for sure. But I'm thinking "Northbound 35 through the iron hills" has got to be I-35 coming into Duluth Minnesota. A surprisingly pretty drive when the highway winds down into the iron range and you can see Duluth and Superior

[@deadonred]

Such. A. Great. Song.

[@Mysteriousheadlines]

This is the best song ever written in history

[@jaysonrushton]

What a song and what a performance, Im a huge fan I hope to see Jeffery playing in Nova Scotia someday.

[@raynelson9066]

This is such an amazing song, one of my all time favorites.. Thank you Mr. Foucault.

[@jdbaron25]

If you ever have a chance to see him play live, GO! Fantastic performer!

[@erichaller9822]

Knowing nothing about this man or his music, I took a chance and went and saw him at the triple door in Seattle along with Gregory Alan Isakov. Let’s just say I was not disappointment.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

This is one of my favorite songs to listen to and to play.

[@osumoni]

Most amazing. Love this guy's songs.

[@9ner]

this is amazing, it has me miss America quite a bit

[@MrGeoffmacdonald]

Such an amazing tune.

[@pllaygroundlove]

amazing amazing song

[@carl9693]

I could never play this too loud!

[@eclecticmagpie]

Hauntingly beautiful song. I must admit I am torn between his version and that of the wonderful Richard Shindell. And I lose it at "I never even kissed you on the mouth"

[@RiccardoPareschi]

Amazing ...

[@scruffy1030]

more music needs to be recorded raw like this...

[@harveyjones1245]

[@araneuman5165]

Jeffrey PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come play at Pappy and Harriets in Pioneer Town some time!

[@enorbet2]

This isn't bad but the very best version of this tune, to me anyway, is the one with the sweet understated electric guitar (red 335?) and that (expecting) lady with the amazing voice. Besides their great contribution, Jeffrey delivers this song to perfection in thyat version. AFAIK it hasn't been up on YT for over a year :(

[@skiplewis9872]

How is this song not on Yellowstone???

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Just google "Northbound 35 chords" and you will find them on line.

[@wowyarkan]

anyone got a link for the tabs for this?

[@Larixlaricina]

I've only heard Richard Shindell's version of this song. I really like this one too. Do you know who wrote it originally?

[@valerielawe2062]

+Larixlaricina It's Jeffrey's song, Richard Shindell covered it. Both are very good, just saw JF do this in concert on Sunday!!!

[@Larixlaricina]

Thank you Valerie! I plan to explore more of his songs!

[@skiplewis9872]

Shindell’s version can’t compare to Focault’s. Not even in the same universe.

[@gibby6904]

Very cool.....is that a banner J35?

[@howarddodge772]

post some new vlogs man

[@ZekesPhoto]

There are rare musical talents undiscovered and then there musical talents discovered rarely. Jeff is the latter. Amazingly poignant writer and performer. For those who have discovered him, it is like aged single malt scotch, the taste lingers long after the buzz has faded,

[@Jimmiedale9]

Could you share the chords please? thanks! Jim

[@markedwards3647]

Caitlin Canty is by far the best female vocalist JF has sung with. Gillian is a better songwriter, but Rawlings is somewhat limited in style and not as skilled a vocalist or songwriter as Jeffrey. Though, considering his lyrics, JF may be a toxic person, blending love and physical combat. Kris Delmhorst may be able to stay with him (haven't checked lately), but that's not necessarily a good thing. Like his music, and almost all of his poetry, but can't sing some of it, any more than I can sing the Christian "Just as I am."

[@deceitdeceitdeceit]

this dude really looks the part, but the song is so truly mediocre

[@VoluntaristJAM]

lol. Obviously others here disagree about the quality of the song (although he does it better on the studio version on "STRIPPING CANE - drags less).
