Fueled by the songs of New Orleans indie songwriter Jack Morris, The OverSoul delivers acoustic gems in the alternative, folk rock, and country genres.
"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist, and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are the shining parts, is the soul." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Over-Soul"

Lyrics
Verse 1: Today I launched out of Venice and trolled The Wagon Wheel with jigs and pigs In the cuts and pockets of the dead-end marsh canals Caught my limit of monster bass Came home tired cleaned the fish And stuffed the filets in the freezer Chorus: You work to pay The cost of living You live to play You die someday Get forgiven But it’s a goddamn shame about the high cost of fishing It’s a goddamn shame about the high cost of fishing Bridge: You need a boat motor trailer and a truck to pull 'em Fishfinder mobile phone and GPS Graphite rod and titanium reel Spinner crank soft and topwater baits Verse 2: Once upon a time I'd grab handfuls of earth Out the worm garden that grew in the yard Stuff the squirming dirt in a can Pick a cane pole behind the shed Walk down Orleans Avenue To the City Park lagoons and fish till dark [Repeat Chorus] [Repeat Bridge] Verse 3: The water was black and deep then Swimming with bream and cats and crappie galore And the possibility of a green flash The phenomenal churn yank and splash Of a monster bass erupting Like a green god out of black water [Repeat Chorus] Coda: It’s a goddamn shame about the high cost A damned shame about the high cost A goddamn shame about the high cost of fishing Words and Music by Jack Morris Copyright (c) 2001
