Song information
This started as a country-folk ballad but ended up ... somewhere else. These music creatures tend to have a life of their own. I'm the sole responsible for the sounds, vocals, mix/mastering, and the song was written by Howe Gelb (from the band Giant Sand - Tucson AZ). Hope you'll enjoy !

Lyrics
Every now and then, a feller comes along
With pure intent, embedded in song
Lets the light on in, and the light gets strong
Every now and then, a feller comes along

He could be preaching the gospel or just pitchin' a tent
Doing the impossible, and ending up spent
Every now and then, every now and then
A feller comes along

The mountain is high, the road is long
The river's are wide when you can't go on
But you got to get it up, yeah you got to be strong
Every now and then, at night a light comes on

Every now and then, a feller comes along
With pure intent, embedded in song
He lets the light on in, the light gets strong
Every now and then, at night the light comes on

Preaching the gospel, pitching a tent
Maybe leanin' toward new love, but ending up bent
Every now and then, now and then, now and then…
A feller comes along

This gave me a pleasant feeling. Some songs and delivery just do that. Loved that wild Young-like lead! Just a cool tune.
