Gotta Have the Blues

Give Me The Sign

A blues infused track featuring a slow guitar riff with modern jazz influences and killer saxophone solo!

[Verse 1]
We were just two kids on a gravel road
Trading secrets, dreams, and GI Joes
Built our castles out of sticks and sand
Swore we'd always be a two-man band
From bike rides to heartbreaks, we made it through
Every high and low, me and you
Now the hair’s gone gray, but the laughs still flow
Still chasing life wherever it goes

[Chorus]
🎵 Fifty years and still we roll
Like a river that never grows old
Through the storms and the sunshine glow
We’ve got stories only we know
Raise a glass to the days gone by
And the ones we’ve yet to find
Here’s to the road we’re walking on
Fifty down, let’s go fifty more strong 🎵

[Verse 2]
We’ve seen weddings, babies, and dreams come true
Lost a few, but we always knew
That no matter how the winds might bend
I’d still find you at the other end
We’ve got photos faded, and songs we sing
Inside jokes that still mean everything
And when the world feels too fast to chase
We slow it down in our favorite place

[Chorus]
🎵 Fifty years and still we roll
Like a river that never grows old
Through the storms and the sunshine glow
We’ve got stories only we know
Raise a glass to the days gone by
And the ones we’ve yet to find
Here’s to the road we’re walking on
Fifty down, let’s go fifty more strong [Final Chorus]
🎵 Fifty years and still we roll
Like a river that never grows old
Through the storms and the sunshine glow
We’ve got stories only we know
Raise a glass to the days gone by
And the ones we’ve yet to find
Here’s to the road we’re walking on
Fifty down, let’s go fifty more strong
Fifty down, let’s go fifty more strong

Christian/Gospel Version (Original)

I see 'em talking on the corner, I hear 'em shouting on the news, Each one standing on their soapbox, trying hard not to lose. They're armed with Wikipedia facts, and every single book they've read, Trying to convince the world with what's stored up in their head. But the silence in the spaces, where the arguments should end, Just proves that nobody's listening, they're just waiting to defend.
You can preach it from the pulpit, you can lay down all the facts, But people don't care how much you know, there's no changing that. They wanna know how much you really care, see where your heart is true, Gotta Win the Heart first, yeah, that's what you do, And I promise you, The Mind Will Follow right behind it, too.
Never heard a lecture, she didn't need to preach the truth, She just showed me how to listen deep from childhood through my youth. I watched her meet the broken ones, the ones the crowd ignored, She gave 'em a safe harbor, not a single lesson stored. She didn't have the answers, she just gave 'em a clean slate, And that's how I learned you lead with your heart, before you open up the gate.
Oh, it's easy to spot the fake ones if you watch 'em long enough, They're the ones talking wisdom, when the road gets too rough. They say the words, they wear the badge, they post the perfect prayer, But faith isn't just a Sunday suit, it's walking through despair. It's easy to preach the facts, but it's harder to stand in the rain, To let go of your own agenda, and really feel somebody's pain.
(Final Thought) You gotta win the heart... yeah... That's where the faith begins... ...And the mind will follow... every single time.

Mind Will Follow (Blues)

The Mind Will Follow (Blues)

The lyric “In Your Light” captures a moment of deep emotional surrender. It’s about two souls merging through sound and silence, where words fade and only rhythm, breath, and feeling remain. The narrator lets go completely, finding peace and connection in the other’s presence. The song expresses intimacy, trust, and timeless calm love dissolving into light and music.

In your light

Colorado (Blues) Skies

JWB Blues & Jazz soon to be released 

You used to walk the walk, preachin' 'bout the better way.
Yeah, you used to talk that talk, soundin' wise at the break of day.
Now you just another tool, lookin' mighty foolish in the crowd today.
Verse 2
You stare right at the lens, tellin' folks what they need to hear.
Yeah, you'll sell your own mama's hand, soon as that sweet money gets near.
There ain't no soul in that suit, just a hollow man driven by the fear.
Chorus/Bridge
I got just one question, now, where do you stand right now?
You threw out all your good words just to learn how to bend and bow.
You had no real conviction, you only wanted the easy cash.
And now your perfect image has been burned down to ash.
Verse 3 
You turned so fast, I saw the smoke cloud rollin' in the street.
Yeah, you did that sudden 180, tryin' hard to cover your retreat.
But your own shadow knows the truth, and friend, your defeat is gonna be complete.
Verse 4 
That spotlight you chased, it done flickered out and died.
Yeah, the crowds turned their backs, there ain't no place left to run and hide.
You won the whole big world, friend, but you lost every ounce of your pride.

[pre-chorus]

Dear John, you taught me how to live and how to love, You're an angel walkin' on earth, sent from above. You see the good in everyone, the whole world knows your name, And lookin' at you, John, I see a light I can't quite claim. Dear John, I can't wait to see you tomorrow.

[Verse 1]
Down here in the quiet room, the clock is movin' slow, But your smile's still wide and honest, puttin' on a show. Sixty years with Barbara, the best love I have seen, You make a friend with every soul, on every patch of green. You walk into a moment, you leave a better man, I'm tryin' hard to follow you, doin' the best I can.
[Chorus]
Dear John, you taught me how to live and how to love, You're an angel walkin' on earth, sent from above. You see the good in everyone, the whole world knows your name, And lookin' at you, John, I see a light I can't quite claim. Dear John, I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
[Verse 2]
There ain't no need for handshakes, just a tight, familiar hug, We settle in and talk the game, spread upon that rug. From the Rockies high above to the field down in Denver, We talk Broncos football, a memory we'll always remember. You're my brother, you've always got a good laugh for my ear, Erasing every worry, every doubt, every single fear.
[Bridge]
Maybe I spend too much time just chasin' the next dollar, Maybe I don't stop and listen and pay enough mind to holler. But when I look at you, sittin' right there by the window pane, You're teaching me to be a better man, a love I can attain. Keep holding on, by the Grace of God, and showin' us how it's done, You're the shining example, the battle that you've already won. I can't wait to see you again next week.
[Chorus]
Dear John, you taught me how to live and how to love, You're an angel walkin' on earth, sent from above. You see the good in everyone, the whole world knows your name, And lookin' at you, John, I see a light I can't quite claim. Dear John, I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Outro (Fade Out)
Oh, Dear John, I can't wait to see you tomorrow... Keep holding on.

Rumores Químico (Synthwave Rework)

My background is rooted in music performance and production—from my time as a club DJ and radio host to my foundational skills as a bass player, which I dedicated my future hair to during the heavy metal band days. This experience gives me a deep understanding of what moves an audience. I've adopted AI vocal technology to articulate my artistic vision for some of these songs considered open demos.  My desire is for an artist to hear a tune, recognize the potential, and reach out to record them. Also to showcase past work I've done too!   If you are a jam band needing material - feel free to play these songs on tonights set list. Have Fun Tonight.
