Radin began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. When close friend and actor/film-maker Zach Braff heard a demo of Radin's song "Winter," he was immediately interested, and got the song onto his show Scrubs in the episode My Screw Up. The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show's demographic. The songs "Today", "Closer", "Don't Look Away" and "These Photographs" were also used on the show. Zach Braff also played the triangle in Joshua Radin's song "Today".
Since, Joshua's songs have been further featured on the FOX Television drama North Shore, and the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy. His song "Star Mile" is on The Last Kiss movie soundtrack. Most recently his song "What If You" was featured on soundtrack to the movie Catch and Release.
The album "We Were Here" was released in 2006, containing many of the songs featured on the various television shows. The album is made up of heavily acoustic indie Folk/Pop, and is especially reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, Elliott Smith, Damien Rice and Iron & Wine.
Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk used to date.
Schuyler Fisk
Schuyler Elizabeth Fisk was born on July 8, 1982. Fisk was born in Los Angeles, California and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. She is an American actress and singer-songwriter.
She is the daughter of actress Sissy Spacek and Jack Fisk. Fisk began acting in school plays as a child and eventually progressed to film.
Her first acting role was as a bumble-bee in a community theatre production of Charlotte's Web. She got her first middle school lead playing Annie, in sixth grade. Fisk got her first feature film starring role in 1995 when she played Kristy Thomas in The Babysitters Club but is perhaps most well known for her supporting role in the 2002 teen comedy Orange County, starring opposite Colin Hanks and Jack Black. Her notable TV appearances include an appearance on One Tree Hill as Daytona in the 2005 episode "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" and an appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Ella Christiansen in the 2006 episode "Taboo".
Fisk plays the guitar, which she learned from her mom Sissy Spacek. She has signed with Universal Records as a musician. She plays folk music, and recorded a demo with Joshua Radin, who she is currently dating and touring with, in early 2006 entitled "Paperweight" which was then featured on the soundtrack to The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff and Jacinda Barrett. Plans to release an EP were scrapped in favor of releasing a full length LP which is currently scheduled for a 2007 release.
Fisk enjoys playing soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, as well as roller skating. The song "That's Virginia" (which she wrote and sang) is about her sister Madison. She attended the University of Virginia.
Winter
Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk the record stands somehow
Thinking of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
I could have lost myself in rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still
I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait
