Roots pop singer/songwriter Josh Rouseis a melodic folk/ soft rocksinger. He was born in 1972 in Nebraska, living in California, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, and Arizona during the years to follow; obsessed as a teen with British cult favorites like The Smithsand The Cure, he learned to play guitar from his uncle and wrote his first song at 18. Signing to the Rykodisc subsidiary Slow River, in 1998, Rouse issued his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, to widespread critical acclaim; upon settling in Nashville, he was befriended by Kurt Wagner, frontman of the endlessly brilliant chamber countrygroup Lambchop, and in the fall of 1999, the two singers/songwritersissued a collaborative EP, Chester. Rouse's second solo LP, Home, appeared the following spring and was followed by Under the Cold Blue Starsin 2002. For his next record Rouse hooked up with producer Brad Jonesand the resulting album in 2003, 1972, was both a homage to the soft rock sounds of Rouse's youth and an opening up and deepening of his sound.

Nothing Gives Me Pleasure Lyrics

Josh Rouse

Time, you should set aside some time for yourself
Time for just you and no one else, time to figure out what's for the best, for both of us
Home, home is where I always want to be, home is there for you and is for me, home is where I never want to leave
Chorus:
And don't you know
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do, nothing has the strength to pull me through, nothing gives me pleasure like you do, I've always been the one to follow you
In town to see this man, he asks me how I've been, he can see I'm out of frame, a wish that never came
This vehicle is stalled, the engines not that strong, I wait to be picked up, you grace me with your touch
Chorus:
And don't you know
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do, nothing has the strength to pull me through, nothing gives me pleasure like you do, I've always been the one to follow you
Bridge:
You, you're so sure and I, I want to be sure
Chorus:
And don't you know
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do, nothing has the strength to pull me through, nothing gives me pleasure like you do, I've always been the one to follow you
