'Wednesday in Words' w/ Langhorne Slim-"Say Yes"

As the year comes to a close and my thoughts are gearing up for a year end list of favortite albums, Langhorne Slim's newest disc. Be Set Free will almost certainly be finding it's way into my top 20. Until this year and this album, Slim is an artist that had really slipped under my radar, but this one really caught my attention and it's been on heavy rotation ever since. He wears his heart on his sleeve on the new disc, weaving warm uplifting Americana inspired tunes of life, love and loss, like on this weeks 'Song of the Week', "Say Yes."
Slim just finished touring the US and Europe in support of Be Set Free and he recently announced two upcoming shows to close out the year supporting The Avett Brothers.

Langhorne Slim-"Say Yes"
Say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes.

Darling, nobody plans it this way
We're floatin' or fallin'
We're gonna land either way
Put on your blue lipstick and I'll put on my Venus boots
And we're in California
but it might as well be the moon.

Say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes

Darling, nobody stands in our way
First thing in the morning
we'll be gone without a trace
Rollin' down the highway
I feel good, I confess
I know sometimes we disagree
but I prefer when you say Yes.

Say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes
(x2)

I could not believe it's true
I could not believe it's true

Darling (look), nobody plans it this way
We're floatin' out, fallin'
somewhere in outerspace
I'll keep on loving you
You know me better than the rest
Maybe we should flip a coin and hold our breath

I could not believe it's true

Say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes
(x3)
