Featured Tune: "St. David (Alternate Version)" from Alexander Joseph

Soul on the Shoreline — Alexander Joseph’s Reflective Gem

There’s something about St. David (Alternate Version) by Alexander Joseph that feels like stumbling upon a forgotten journal in an old backpack—weathered, personal, and still alive with meaning. This indie folk track doesn't try to dazzle; instead, it washes over you like a tide coming in slow and steady, leaving behind little traces of memory and peace.

Originally written in 2011 and revisited over a decade later, the song feels seasoned by time. Joseph doesn’t just perform it—he remembers it. That sense of personal history lends an intimacy to the track that makes it feel more like a conversation than a performance. His vocals are sincere, almost hushed, set against an airy acoustic backdrop that lets every word breathe.

What sets this version apart is its quiet courage. In a world chasing crescendos, St. David chooses stillness. It recalls a spiritual retreat to Wales, but the themes are universal—finding direction when the map is blurry, walking forward even when your feet are heavy. It’s beautifully human.

The alternate take brings new depth to the original, like seeing a familiar place under a different sky. If you’re feeling unmoored or just need a moment to reconnect with something real, let this song be your anchor. It’s not loud, but it lingers—and that’s its true strength.
