"Maneater” is the second single off John Alex Gatsby’s debut album Mayday, dropping May 16. With an infectious groove and a nostalgic edge, the track pulses with upbeat energy while telling the tale of a heartbreak woman who leaves nothing behind. Gatsby’s smooth vocals echo the warning: “Oh here she comes, she gone take your heart and use up all your love... Have you ever seen the devil wear chanel?”  Blending throwback vibes with a modern twist, “Maneater” reimagines the femme fatale story with style and swagger.

Mayday

Artist Comments:

I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by re-recording, producing and publishing his original song "Young Love".  Dan and I first met in junior high school and became the best of friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years.  Known by many names, Dan, Big Mouth or the Baron of Barrie, he loved the Barrie, Ontario community and its people. He felt at home in Barrie and even recorded a song, an ode to his adopted City of Barrie.  Dan, as an entertainer extraordinaire, was best known for hosting the comedy skit-based TV show "Big Mouth" winning a Rogers Television Award in 2005 as best on-air personality.  Dan, AKA "FastManDan," wrote "Young Love" in the late 1970s. He recorded it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and, of course, his vocals. My AI attempt to revive the recording from my cassette copy didn't work out, so I decided to re-record the song. The great thing is I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  In many ways, Dan was my mentor.  I admired and took inspiration from his independent nature, courage, talent and outstanding determination.  A born comedian and later a cartoonist, singer, songwriter, guitarist, Impressionist, puppeteer, exotic pet handler, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman and film editor,  Dan was one dynamite entertainer and a hilarious prankster!  Just as important was his good nature and big heart.  Dan truly cared about the well-being of others and was not afraid to show you that side of himself.  Dan influenced and affected many people's lives, and all are grateful to have known this man. I miss him very much and crack a smile whenever I think of the good times we had together.  As much as a man can love a man, I loved Dan – rest in peace, my great friend and brother!  Wow, is it not the coolest thing knowing that your spirit has a voice through this great tune of yours?

The Song: 

 "Young Love", with its catchy pop/dreamy groove, delves into that classic middle-age crisis that fosters a man's conflicting desire for younger women.

“While You Down” is an experimental alt rock piece that dives deep into emotional fragility, love, and the aching weight of unresolved pain. With emo rock undertones and raw vocal delivery, this track captures that feeling of being trapped in your own head — holding onto someone who might be the only light in the darkness. It’s about being there for someone in their lowest moments, while battling your own.

I’m Like You
I never know what to say around you. The words feel too big in my mouth or too small for what I’m feeling. Sometimes I think you already understand me without them — maybe that’s why I keep stalling, hanging onto silence like it’s safer.
When I’m near you, it’s like everything else gets quieter. I notice the weight of your hand in mine, the way you lean into me like you trust I’ll catch you. And I would — every time. I’d give you anything, not because I’m trying to prove something, but because you make me want to.
We’ve watched the stars before, but tonight felt different. Your head on my chest, my heartbeat a little too fast — I wanted to ask if you could hear it, if you knew it was for you. I wanted to tell you that you deserve everything. Every song I’ve written. Every wish I’ve made. Every dream I’ve chased just to bring it back to you.
I think I’m like you in ways I can’t explain. In the way I hold things back, in the way I give them away all at once. I’m like you — maybe that’s why this feels so impossible to describe, and why I hope I never have to.

I'M LIKE YOU

From the Brahms' 3rd Racket album, “Highlights from the Peloponnesian Wars” - this is the SHORT version of the tune, which ends kind of funny here, because on the CD it segues into another song and then segues back for the big finale, complete with a rockin' Reelin' in the Years style guitar solo. Hit me up and I will send you a copy. Extra points if you can find the quote from Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question."

From the Brahms' 3rd Racket album, "Glitter Salon” - for the little "disco" guitar break in the middle I was really keen to sound like Louie Shelton on Boz Scaggs' "Lowdown" - how'd I do?

**"Waiting on the World to Change" is the first single released from John Mayer's 2006 studio album, Continuum. The song enjoyed commercial success as a single and won the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 49th Grammy Awards. Because of its theme of discontent and hope, it quickly came into demand in a variety of television programs, charity benefits, and other events.

"Waiting on the World to Change" contains a highly popular chord progression often found in blues, rock and soul songs. The chord progression is I - vi - IV - I - V - vi - IV - I, and in the case of "Waiting on the World to Change", it is in the key of D. Another interesting fact is the accenting of the beats in the verses. Contrary to most popular music, the second snare backbeat of the second measure of the two-bar beat that repeats through most of the song features an accent on the "and" of "4", and not directly on "4".

The song's theme centers on the singer and his generation's inaction in regard to current world conditions. However, he attributes this inaction to a lack of power:

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

He also laments the corruption among leaders:

It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair

John Mayer confirmed this feeling of discontent between the leaders and that led to an interview with The Advocate, explaining the song this way: "It's saying, ‘Well, I'll just watch American Idol because I know that if I were engaged in changing anything for the better, or the better as I see it, it would go unnoticed or be completely ineffective.' A lot of people have that feeling."[1]

 Even so, the song alludes to hope for the future, with the singer intoning that with his generation's ascension to power, things will change:

One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Politics was a topic that Mayer had not previously tackled. On his decision to include a politically tinged song, he commented, "You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor. So in that sense it's become more of an acceptable thing to comment on because it's just so much of a white elephant."[2]

**From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waiting On The World To Change

David J. Kemper is a composer & producer from Chicago, Illinois, city of big shoulders, (former) hog butcher to the world, and home of Nelson Algren, Carl Sandburg, John Dillinger and Al Capone.  It has been speculated (by Mr. Kemper) that the gritty, rough and tumble energy of the streets from whence he hails has given extra bite and backbone to the sounds that he comes up with.  It is a theory, anyway.  Don’t think.  Just listen.  

The music featured here is but a modest selection from the ever-growing DJK repertoire, solo releases (Wet Work), as well as his "other" band/project/whatever, Brahms' 3rd Racket.
