oh listen honey if i told you about the way that i felt
i wouldn’t waste a minute if i had you all to myself
we’d be walking in the moonlight
staying up till sunrise
baby you can let your walls come down
you’d be dancing in the corner
sleeping on my shoulder
baby you can have it all with me
if you want it baby

if you got it bad like i got it bad for you
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you

let me tell you about the way that i’ve been thinking bout us
you wanted honesty but couldn’t find someone you could trust
so let me be your go-to
i could be the one who
gives you everything you want and more
i’ve been sitting on the sideline
waiting till the time’s right
but something about this moment 
it feels so pure
so i gotta know

if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 

so give me your moments
show me that baby you’re down for it
so give me your moments
show me that baby you’re down for it
so i gotta know

if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it bad for you 
if you got it bad like i got it like i got it

like i got it bad for you, like i got it bad for you
like i got it bad for you, like i got it bad for you

almost everything i've ever wanted to say

bad 4 you

Sophia James — her birth name is Sophia Wackerman — is a singer, songwriter pianist and global jazz studies major, and she describes her music as a mix of rock, soul, pop and fusion.
By the time Sophia Wackerman ended her American Idol 2020 run in the Top 11 after a jazzy performance of the Beach Boys “In My Room” she had changed her name to Sophia James. Judge Katy Perry suggested the singer switch to Star, her late mother’s stage name. But Sophia settled on paying tribute to her brother James, whose special needs never held him back.

Now, Sophia has released a new song,  “Somebody New.” The tune harkens back to standards from the 50s and 60s. There is even the sound of a crackling needle at the end of the record. Break out your martini glasses, people!



Somebody New - Sophia James

All the times in your life when love really matters are a series of small moments that add up to next time, next life. At least I hope so. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~

Times I catch your glance and nothings said…

Times I feel closest to you…

Times I hear you laugh in the other room…

Times I laugh quietly…too…

Times I find my favorite snack in the kitchen…

Times I know you put it there for me…

Times you go out by yourself to find something new…

Times I know if it’s good you’ll call for me …

Times when I miss you and forget to look…

      
Times I know you’re the most important person,
In my book…

Times I see you working on 

who you are…

Times I know, the time we spend, in this life…

Adds up to, 	all the time, 	I’m in love….

With You

Times when we create a world no one else can 

Times I know why you’re with me…

Times I see the beauty in your eyes…

Times I know you were put here for me to see…

Times I start to write a song about my life,

Times that song always starts with we…

Times you show me all the good in you 

Times I know can be a better me

Times you’re sad and won’t let me in

Times I wish you could feel all I see

Times I know time we spend in this life 

Adds up to the next time, next life
With
You

Time I spent today on Valentine’s

Time I’ve felt what is in my heart,

Time I’d wish I’d spent more time to tell you this,

When our time has passed I’d wish for more…

Time clicks by, we fade in…to everything

And all the time we had turns to white,

Seconds into minutes,days, years in this life 

Adds up to, 	the next time, next life…

With

You

TIMES

A song about the end of a relationship that you know was part of your life for a reason. One love fades, but it will always be beautiful.

~ ~~~

Memories of love as our credits are scrolling by
				 
The eyes that watch what we used to be are tearing too

			    
Given all we ever could…we tried to make the 		pieces fit,

				
Not realizing why we 		we were playing different,  games

I want you to know that I never thought that I’d really go,
					
But here I am to-night the night before I say goodbye
						   	
It’s strange to think and say,			how did we get this way, and not know why
					     	
Yeah here we are to-night…at the edge of what was our lives, to say goodbye, 

	
good-bye

Bridge

 
I see the words and feel the noise from all of our fights

I wish I’d never hurt you because I was the one hurting inside 

 
I thought this was forever but we both need so much more

Every smile and tear we shared flash by as walk through the door
	 
 Our life’s are spread all over the floor

	
But not any ….more…

It’s a beautiful, death…
				   
It’s a beautiful, death…

It’s a beautiful, death…
				   
It’s a beautiful, death…

					
I think it’s safe to say….that we never thought…we would end this way

now I see you in this light, I feel the love is gone, I know I can’t stay,

			
As I pack my bags…		I grab my keys…I see your smile one last time, 

			
it tells me we’ve loved and lost…and lost in love be-fore…
	
But not anymore…

			
It’s a beautiful, death…
				   
It’s a beautiful, death…

It’s a beautiful, death…
				   
It’s a beautiful, death…

Beautiful Death

Almost Blue

Jorja Smith - On My Mind ( Acoustic )

Bruno major- Easily

You’re still shaking 
I’m barely moving at all 
Green lines cut through 
A black screen tells you I’m fine 

You’re Gwyneth Paltrow 
I’m Richie Tenenbaum 
I cut my hair off 
You like me either way 
And every summer 
It’s going to be the same 

Going back to Telluride 
Riding round with nothing on 
Staying at your parents’ house 
Acting like there’s nothing wrong 
Going back to Telluride 
Sleeping with the TV on 
Darling so coledified 
Oh, I know it won’t be long 

Pull my sutures 
And climb in I’m warm inside 
You’ll breath my lungs 
I’m florescent and infrared 
And I’m yours 

Smoke out the window 
Listen to CD Roms 
You’re like a race car 
You are a palindrome 
And every summer 
Will never be the same 


Going back to Telluride 
Riding round with nothing on 
Staying at your parents’ house 
Acting like there’s nothing wrong 
Going back to Telluride 
Sleeping with the TV on 
Darling so coledified 
Oh, I know it won’t be long

Computer Love Song

I'm likely way cooler than I think. I think...maybe not, idk.
I create originals and play covers that are indie jazz inspired.
I play keys, trumpet and vocals. Working on which of my 100 + songs I should put together to make my debut album.
I appreciate anyone who listens!
