Flawed

Broken Dreams

A short trilogy about a  woman who escaped her oppressive life in Germany a long time ago ("Far Away") and emigrated to a free life somewhere on the coast of Portugal. In the second part, "All through the night", she finds herself without any money or opportunities at a dead end. In the 3rd part, "She Forgot", she is old and no longer remembers the beauty of her youth, apart from all the narrowness.

(Pt 1 - Düsseldorf)

Far away from now & here
In sunken times the sky was clear
Bright & rich the future shone
When she took off from Cologne
Her memories they come and go
The tiny lights deep down below
The sea behind is a black expense
She felt the urge to sing & dance


(Pt 2 - Carrapateira)

Summertime in the fields
Silent night let it rain down
Comes a time when she finds
She’s ony moving up and down
The same old paths to the village below where
25 people come and go and she’s stuck here
Cause the airline has gone bust 

All through the night she’d been dreaming of towns she’ll never see
Where people are dancing & laughing & singing
All though her life, well she’d been afraid of being trapped
What did she learn from her middle-class upbringing?
She squandered her life-savings… No, never free again

Persuasive Belgium girl, last time seen a week ago
Slipping through her hands, she feels she must be lonely though
Everybody knows her but when love comes to near she’s leaving
And it makes it cleas that she’s stuck here. 
Cause the airline has gone bust.
All through the night she’d been dreaming of towns she’d never seen
Where people are dancing & laughing & singing
All though her life, she’d been afraid of loneliness
What did she learn from her middle-class upbringing?
She squandered her life-savings… No, never free again

(Pt 3 - The Hospital)

She forgot that a smile returns a smile from another and
She forgot, she enjoyed to hitch a ride with her brother
And a glimpse of the beauty of spring though her window
Lights her face and the grey hair, spread on the pillow

She forgot that she used to feel at ease while gardening and
She forgot what it was that happened then, that was so disheartening
And a glimpse of the beauty of spring though her window
Lights her face and the grey hair, spread on the pillow
She forgot…
She forgot…

One of the most in-demand session musicians in Los Angeles, guitarist and songwriter Jay Gore has toured the world sharing the stage with such artists as Hilary Duff, Lauryn Hill, Michael McDonald, Michael Bolton, Bobby Caldwell, The Pointer Sisters, Keb’ Mo, Marcus Miller, Christopher Cross, Sheila E, Eddie Money, Lalah Hathaway, Rick James, Seal, and countless others. A gifted songwriter, Jay has written and produced music for hit TV shows, such as 90210, Miami Ink, American Dad, E.R., Party of Five and others. Jay's funky guitar playing and production expertise can be heard on albums from artists as diverse as Sly Stone, Stephen Bishop, The Veronicas, Siedah Garrett, The Matrix, Edgar Winter, David Paich, and Greek superstar Anna Vissi, to name a few. When he's not writing songs for hit artists, Jay's main passion is writing and recording his own original music. On Jay's most ambitious album to date, with the tongue-in-cheek title "Bong Water," Jay checks all the boxes from the funky to the sublime with a little something for every taste. The songwriting is superb and Jay invited some very talented guests to bring these great tunes to life - including his old pal, the award-winning songwriter and vocalist Kevin Fisher on the rock ballad "Love These Days," a gorgeous song they co-wrote - vocalists Kari Waller and Sareet Rimon were brought in to add their golden voices to the searing ballads "I Was Leaving Anyway" and "You're Just Another Song." For all the guitar aficionados, the album features five of Jay's stunning guitar instrumentals from the rocking title track which hits harder than a bong - to the smoldering guitar pyrotechnics of "Ibiza Nights."  Once again, Jay's velvet touch is ever present throughout.
