Hilary Hahn and Josh Ritter: An Uncommon Duo : NPR Music NPR’s “Morning Edition” profiled folk sensation Josh Ritter’s collaboration with classic violinist Hilary Hahn this past week, with audio clips on the site. What a great piece to catch as I was getting up. I had the opening line of my favorite song, “Kathleen”, running through my head all day.
All the other girls here are stars—you are the northern lights
they try to shine in through your curtains—you’re too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
