Joshua Radin

“With so many vital issues facing the world these days, one would be hard-pressed to ignore them. My song “You and Me” reflects this important moment in history in which we live and calls people to pay attention.”

Joshua Radin provided this song to Millions from One to do his part in spreading the word about this worthy cause. He believes in the efforts of Million from One and hopes everyone will do their part to help bring clean water to those in need.”

Joshua Radin’s Simple Times offers the next step in the evolution of an artist whose talent is flourishing, whose skills have grown and whose vision is broader than ever before. “I feel like, right about now I’m starting to hit my stride, which is cool,” he says. “With this record I feel like I can come out and say, ‘OK, I’m a fully formed artist now.’ I just hope that other people like it as much as I like it.” They definitely do: music from the album has been featured on hit television shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “American Idol,” and “House,” among others.

Since the record’s release, he’s performed on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Bonnie Hunt Show” and “CBS Early Show/Second Cup Café” (next up: “The Today Show” on June 9) and been covered by Billboard, Rolling Stone and CNN, among many others. In addition, the video for his lead single, “I’d Rather Be With You,” which directed by Zach Braff (“Scrubs”) and features Katrina Bowden from “30 Rock,” has been getting serious play on VH1.

“In terms of inspiration,  we were honored to be asked to contribute, and lyrically wanted to express the idea that there’s always “a chance to make things right”.  We tried to make a chorus that would express that idea– that if people want to, they can always find a way to make things better.  This song is peppered with that idea,  and our hope was to have a listener walk away remembering that there’s always a choice.  The choice in this song is between focusing on a disappointing past, or pursuing the opportunity to make a change.” - Brian Bason, Mere

Verse 1
Another night, another big dark sky
We said hello so easily, i can’t seem to say goodbye
Another night I can’t decide
We’re you my only prayer, or were you only passing by (just a passing light?)

PRE CHORUS
another fight. another lie.
another chance to make it right.

CHORUS
some things we can’t change
yeah, some scars never fade
but i would wear them all
if I could make you stay
so come on tell me we can find a new way home we’re so much younger now, let’s find a new way home

Verse 2
you always felt so close to touch,
and so hard to reach hanging by my only thread,
you got the best of me so take it back
and take your time make me wait and run me blind

PRE CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’m on your side
you make this right
you make it better
and i’m falling in
your lips, your skin
you make this better
