Joseph Arthur – In The Sun

I’ve been a fan of Joseph Arthur for several years since I came across some of his music. I like this song, “In the Sun”, because of it’s depth. To me, it tells the story of a man who was with a girl who brought out the best (and possibly worst) in him. Now that she’s no longer in his life, he has pictures in his mind of how she’s handling the break-up. And it seems like he wants to apologize, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself.

I don’t know why, but I just love this song. The instrumentals are done well, his voice fits well, and the lyrics are pretty awesome. Here’s a video of Joseph singing “In the Sun,” it’s not the studio version, but it still sounds pretty good. I hope you enjoy!

In the Sun
Joseph Arthur

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
‘Cause when you showed me myself i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can’t keep awake

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

‘Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You

I don’t know anymore
What it’s for
I’m not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
‘Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you’re not even sure what it’s for
Any more than me

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you
