Josh Ritter - Old Black Magic Lyrics

A TRUELY BEAUTIFUL LOVESONG THAT TOUCHS MY MIND, HEART & SOUL, REMINISCING ABOUT LIFE, LOVE & LIVING. ➕🙏

sounds like a Black Keys meets Drive By Truckers song

Sounds like old 60,s stuff.. Cool

Love from the first listening! My greetings from Greece!

Don't stop.

Lyrics:

True love to true loving
Rust to Rust.
I let the others cast stones, while I drew in the dust.
I tried to be a good man.
Something changes in the wind
I got that oold black magic, Rollin in

Wave upon wave now, here come the dreams
And I can't see the lighthouse and the lighthouse can't scream
Don't you know I need you so bad
Tell me where the hell you been
I got that oold black magic, Rollin in
Rolling rolling rolling rolling
I can't sleep for crying out
I cry all the time
Everybody got an angel, I got mine
Wings of a crow
Overshadowing
I got that old black magic, Rollin in.
Rolling rolling rolling rolling in
I know the way it goes down
It's all in my head
I feel it rising from it's unmarked lair
Churning up the devil
Showing all these friends
Know for sure what's rolling in
You never asked for fire
You already were a thief so I
Know you'd be with me when I
Needed you to be.
Steal my soul keep the (inaudible)
I got that old black magic Rollin in
Rollin Rollin Rollin Rollin in
Their was a time I knew ya
You knew me
There was nothing in between us, far as
We could see.
Don't ya know I need my true love
My truest friend
I got that old black magic Rollin in
Rolling rolling rolling rolling in
Rollin Rollin Rollin Rollin in

True love to true love
Rust to rust
I let the others cast stones
While I drew in the dust
I tried to be a good man
Something changes in the wind
I got that old black magic rolling in

Wave upon wave
Here come the dreams
And I can’t see the lighthouse
And the lighthouse can’t scream
Don’t you know I need you so bad
Tell me where the hell you been
I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling in

I can’t sleep for crying
I cry all the time
Everybody’s got an angel
I got mine
Wings of a crow
Overshadowin’
I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling in

I know the way it goes down
It’s all in my head
I feel it rising
From its unmarked bed
Sure not the devil
Sure not his friend
But I know for sure
What’s rolling in

You never asked for fire
You already were a thief
So I knew you’d be with me
When I need you to be
Steal my soul honey
Keep it for me when
I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling in

There was a time I knew ya
You knew me
There was nothing in between us
Far as we could see
Don’t you know I need my true love
My truest friend
I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling in
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling in

Ok here it is,,,,, these artists are fighting their demons putting it in their songs and complaining about it like what do I do. Well they seek their own fame and fortune and cant give it up. It's a spiritual test and they fail miserably. Like Christ said,,,,, "Give away all your possessions to the poor and follow me." Not judging,,, I'm really not,,,, I'm just saying. I'm fighting this world to, we all are and I feel like I'm loosing also,,,, I'm just being honest about it

MY God My Boy Is Back !

Bravo Josh Bravo

Heard this on Sirius radio a couple days ago and instantly loved it. Damn good song and that guitar later on drives me nuts! Spread the word how good it is!

Greetings from Berlin, we like this song very much! Our band want to play this song. Ok!? Special the version from the CBS morning session. :-)

I feel this song in my soul...or what's left of it!

Do you think JOSH knows the story of King Arthur and 'THE LADY OF THE LAKE" -

Wow. Just heard this on the radio by sheer luck - the station that I was listening to got cut out by some typical auto tune hip-hop electronic type bullshit (which passes for music these days) - so I turned down the dial and came across this gem. This is rock the way it should be and I can barely say how glad I am that music like this still gets made. There are still talented artists out there, thank the Gods

Holy Smokes!

Great song! 😃 Love the rollin' part because I am a trucker 🚚

"everybody's got an Angel
... wings of a Crow"... great Lyrics! My favourite track on Fever Breaks!
Lov album Art Work concept! Yeah! Like a...

"HEAVY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN" - ()ain't THAT the TRUTH!

j'adore cette chanson, la voix, son rythme et l'accompagnement, ainsi que les autres morceaux de l'album josh Ritter a une belle voix et le guitariste qui l'accompagne a un beau son. YOMA

We are definitely going to do this tune !!!!! Killer !!!!!

Great song Mr. Ritter. Music fits the lyrics very well.

Killer Song Bro.' YouTube - Jonny Weiss "Hello Texas."

Just saw him do this song on CBS This Morning. Great song from his new album. I’m a fan now.

Solos sounds a little warren ellis, and thats a real good thing

New fav tune!

Great work as always Josh, sounds a little "Marcy Playground", this will be a hell of an album :D

Exactly how I'm feeling these days

Cool song, like when you're stuck between the darkness and light, you will feel that old black magic Rollin in, a friend turned me on to these guys, dig them..

Great news!

Wow, speechless.....

Κομματαρα!!!

Top of the play list on "Route 650 Americana" streaming online 24/7 out of Nashville as a sister station to great and famous "Air Castle Of The South", 50,000 watt clear channel, 650 AM, WSM, Nashville. WSM now streams live online 24/7 as well.

"Old Black Magic" debuted at #38 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

omgoodness this is so awesome--what a pairing: Josh, Amanda, Jason and the incredible 400 Unit--this is heavenly!!!!!!1111

"I can't sleep from crying I cry all the time". 100% CRAP

I did not know he had a new album coming out. I'm so happy I could cry. This is amazing. Like everything he's ever done.

One great song...always a pleasure to hear a song for the first time...on television music...and go buy it immediately on iTunes. Josh can certainly play and sing.

I remember hearing this song at one of his solo acoustic shows and we loved it!! So glad this song is officially out now!!

Can't wait....guh! SO GOOD!

Love it!❤

♥ Josh Ritter ♥

Reminds me of the driving feeling of Lighthouse Fire.

I was having a crap day, but this song totally turned it around.
A new Josh Ritter song release makes for a fantastic day. ❤

Everybody’s got an angel and I’ve got mine.

❤❤❤More Josh just when we all needed it❤❤❤

Love the cover art as well!

Sounds like a great live song!

This is awesome.

I’m really enjoying this. Came as a result of Isbell and The 400 Unit. Reminds me a bit of Dylan’s “Slow Train Coming”. Rock on!

any one know who did the cover art?

per Josh's site, the album cover was painted by Jason Holley

Absolutely great song

fantastic!  you should tour with Jason next year!

He did during sermon on the rocks I believe.

Alexander Marcum new album tho

MAGA
Make Americana Great Again

@Eryn Leighbra read it again ya dingus

@aperfectcircle1689 In Eryn's defense, I missed it on the first read myself.

Dumbass. Even if he did say "MAGA" WHY in the fuck would that matter?! If u support the president of the United States you are not allowed to listen to Ritter or Isbell I guess huh? Your Nazism is showing, bub. Country is doomed because of brain washed assholes like u

@aperfectcircle1689 Flawless dingus usage.

Feels like christmas with a new Josh Ritter song. :D

Digging this musican, I happened to see him perform on saturdays cbs morning show..lord I am hooked, got it bad but a good bad, love it💗🎶🎵🎤

Beautiful song by Josh, beautiful solo by Jason. This is gonna be one hell of a record.

Josh said it was Sadler Vaden playing the solo. But still.

The 400 Unit is the band on the record. Pretty sure that was Sadler.

Stephen Milligan, Jason got a BAD BACKING BAND...yeeha

That guitar solo! :-D

Excellent! Great solo!

This is soo good!

When older black woman at the market calls you baby

YES!!!!!!!

Bass-tastic, Fantastic.

The bass work on this album is really good.

Ahhhh! ❤️
