The Great Enlightenment The seasons in this town all look the same And I've lost all track of where I am I hear a song when I call your name And miss the scents of the ground after the rains We are aching for the walls to fall Into the great enlightenment Let’s not wait until its dawn my love Before we hit the highway Dangerous times To live on the outskirts of town With open fields all around Keeping you from going downtown To smile to camera on time On Friday in the boulevard Where everything’s going down When everything's going down We are aching for the walls to fall Into the great enlightenment Let’s not wait until its dawn my love Before we hit the highway

I SEE THE LOVE My boat is ready I built it strong I hope it will last those Wicked storms As i must go now Way down this canyon The river holds All of my stories Or so i'm told And i must find them The pass gets wider The wind it blows My rowing is nothing Against the wall Of raging waters Still i am thankful for it all I start to question My purpose here Will love provide me With a getaway From this asylum And will i manage To keep my breath So when i see her I have the strength And words to tell her And so i'm shouting That i fear none Between my dives I see the sun I'm very thankful For all my life I see the love I see the love I see the love i found And know that there's no other The pass gets wider The wind it blows My rowing is nothing Against the wall Of raging waters Still i am thankful for it all And if i call her Will she reach out 'til i feel the warmth Of a thousand suns Or will it echo between the rocks 'til it fades out I see the love I see the love I see the love i found And know that there's no other

Carolina 03:54
Carolina yes i can remember darkness fear and never ending deserts that dried your face from tears i'm picking the memories off the trees and from the scent of summer in yellow, brown and green now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina and she's the warmest getaway, feels just like mother inside my mind i saw myself running in a dream i was storming down the hallway but no one heard my plea when i was a young boy this was life from a speaker yelled a stranger when you called for your mom now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina and she's the warmest getaway feels just like mother she's free, she makes her own rules i cruise her sea and forget my old wounds but i still feel the blisters they drag me down to hear the whispers inside my mind i feel lost just like a child now i'm lost within the arms of Carolina wishing that i could forget but i still want her i saw myself running in dream i was looking for a doorway but never was let in

I wonder if she's fine when the winter rains wash through me you know i'm still on my way and then summer leaves me in ruins and no words are left unsaid i wonder if she's fine down in the corner of my mind i wonder if i wonder if i wonder if she's fine like the fields that are left with nothing but crying out for the floods i am emptied with just a fragment of one solid train of thought i wonder if she's fine down in the corner of my mind i wonder if i wonder if i wonder if she's fine and she answers in the wind hiding in the pine trees' green She's always there to lead me through the haze is it easier to go on when you know the way?
5.
Valor Girl 05:50
Valor Girl inside your eyes i see an orchestra conducted madly by your brain the motif's louder now and it can never stop i once knew you a valor girl marks on your skin like soldiers on the field the campaign is set, they're marching on and i watch from the side no words of wrong or right and frightened of what's coming next I know she's a valor girl she can guide us through and show us to the promised land i see it in my mind magnificent and loving i will follow her until the end of time she can guide us through and show us to the promised land i've seen her in my mind from her smile poured many colors but it's hiding now i once knew you a valor girl
6.
Come here any time you can come here any time the garden is neglected but the door is open you can come turn the light on and sit with me we'll no longer live in misery there's room to hold your burden my loving is for free you can call me anytime or surprise me at the door 'cause i don't mind you can come leave your troubled mind behind and forget about the time the world is at our fingertips so why go outside shifting sands have drowned me blizzards often dusted my soul ocean waves have pounded me until i found my home you can come here anytime the garden is neglected but the door is open you can come leave your troubled mind behind and forget about the time there's room to hold your burden my love don't cost a dime

Grey Herons 05:00
Grey Herons Herons flew above me in the morning light giant shadows fell down on me and misty waves sounded in my ears they still echo in my mind baby, once in a while as my eyesight fails and all the colors range between tones of gray i recall that sound and i wish i was in that morning light where the herons fly the creek and i have aged the herons are all gone grey and white, they don't fly here but as i stare through the rising dawn they're still vivid in my mind baby once in a while i can hardly see through my memories it's like a crazy dream i once had of dying and i wish i was in that morning light in the morning light in the morning light i wish i was in the morning light as the years come tumbling down i wonder if i'll hear the sound of the grey herons flight in the morning light
8.
she calls my name I saw a thing of beauty and her face was tired and pale I think of her again when the stars are rising I met her somewhere between worlds As she was slowly fading away And soon she will be dead Just a star shining She calls my name Sometimes I wish we'd never met She calls my name Too young to go, too young to fade I had only minutes To distract her from the pain To fill the room with sound And then go on my way But as I left I realized i'd never be the same Cause I had seen the world Reflected from her face I see a thing of beauty In almost everything around But then I hit the ground and run for shelter And she was a flash of goodness In this broken world of mine My visit there was short but lasted ages She calls my name Sometimes I wish we'd never met She calls my name Too young to go, too young to fade I had only minutes To distract her from the pain To fill the room with sound And then go on my way But as I left I realized i'd never be the same Cause I had seen the world Reflected from her face
9.
The Jordan River went down to see an aching woman in her twilight days and i meant to feed her hope while the guitar played with a shuttered glance she told me we shall meet again on the banks of Jordan's River i went down to see The Jordan River as her words foretold but I'm searching still as the cold wind blows to find The Jordan River and my soul now i know that she is watching from long ago and i hold my head up high, see there's always a choice in her sorrow she reminds me that i must go on 'til i find that misty river i went down to see The Jordan River as her words foretold but I'm searching still as the cold wind blows to find the Jordan river and my soul
10.
Rock all night my house stands in the meadow and it welcomes no one i'm out following footsteps toward the bridge to your heart i saw myself on a highway one destination and a one way ride i thought you'd never rejoin me my house is closed for the winter and there's no key to be found i keep warm on strange wishes and a passion for life and as i try to get closer will you see here the man in me will you come on and join me to rock all night to dive in the water and swim towards the light to rock all night above a wishing well i was standing minding my own self wishing for wounds to recover from and the burning of the flame i threw a rock to the bottom and felt so high felt like everyone joined me to rock all night to dive in the water and swim towards the light to rock all night but i'm in trouble my house is locked i can't get out now it's getting dark so goodnight brothers goodnight love goodnight mother goodnight dad goodnight lovers

about

Geva Alon – "In The Morning Light"
"Absolutely Brilliant" Bob Harris BBC Radio 2, 2012

"This latest from Geva Alon slips by with such impressive crazy horse - via - R.E.M effortlessness...In the morning light 10 airily produced epistles are a vehicle for Alon's flights of instinctual, pealing pleads - Neil young via Ira Kaplan - and a distinctive singing voice which channels Jose Gonzales and America's Gerry Beckley." MOJO Magazine 2012

"IN THE MORNING LIGHT is an album of subtle guitar heroics and immersing songwriting that really ought to bring him into international attention." 
R2 Rock & Reel Magazine 2012

"In The Morning Light charts path through introspective soul-searching set to Byrdsian harmonies and catchy hooks, like Fleet Foxes with McCartney-lite sensibilities, the floaty "I Wonder If She's Fine" and the sombre "Come Here Anytime" veers towards Nick Drake territory."She Calls My Name" recalls Fables-era R.E.M". UNCUT 2012

Israeli Singer/songwriter and guitarist Geva Alon is back with his fourth album “In the Morning Light”, produced and mixed by wiz producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Benhart) at "Paco Loco" studios in Southern Spain.

The Album features an incredible line-up of musicians including Daniel Hindman and Neal Casal on guitars (Ryan Adams), Otto Hauser on drums (Bert Jansch, Vetiver, Espers), Jeff Hill on bass (Rufus Wainwright, Joan Baez), and Dave Scher on keyboards and pedal steel guitar (Beachwood Sparks, Elvis Costello).

Geva's musical influences are drawn from the likes of Neil Young, Tom Verlaine and more recent acts like Bill Callahan and Wilco, his music has been described as passionate, inventive, and mesmerizing, enfolded in warm and compelling vocals.

His third album “Get Closer” (also produced by Thom Monahan 2010) has recently turned gold in Israel for selling over 20,000 copies and earned him the "Male Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" award nominations. “Get Closer” was Alon’s first European Release (ADA Global).

*** “In the Morning Light” was just voted "album of the year" by two major magazines and one major radio station in Israel.***
