Josiah Lemming is a guest of ours here today.
He's live in our studios on the Voice of America.
Come On Kid is the new album and if you wouldn't mind doing another song from the album, I'd love to hear.
Yeah, absolutely.
You mean like a happier mood or a sadder mood?
We'll [D] go with the flow, whatever you're feeling.
What are you feeling today?
[G] Well, I'd like to play the last song on the album maybe.
Okay, what's it called?
It's called Song Without a Reason and it was after the last summer I had to write and I couldn't write for a good two or three months.
I told myself, you've got to write a song and so I wrote a song but I told myself there was no reason for it.
And so it's a conversation between me and my mother who the album is dedicated to.
