Interview with BONEY JAMES about his brand new CONTACT album.


BONEY JAMES CONTACT SPECIAL 2011

Vibe (Jazzbeat)

“Without Me” is a poetic reflection on love, loss, and the collapse of meaning when a relationship ends. Blending raw emotion with philosophical depth, it explores how words, memory, and identity unravel in the absence of the one who once gave them shape. Set against vivid imagery of travel, time, and disconnection, the song traces the struggle to find balance and understanding when love’s echo is all that remains.



WITHOUT ME  
I've written and recorded a song based on Moments that took me far too long
To mean anything to you
Now you're without me

Collected some words from the street then
Furnished my shoes with crocodile feet 
That walked a thousand miles across Basque mountains 
And all to be without you

I've frowned at all the hairbands and frocks
Ran Olympian speed from olive oil soaked blocks
To turn and stare at pistol smoke
Through a barrel aimed at me

But my love for you is deeper than these words 
deeper than the meaning of this verse 
Deeper than the signified
Beneath the essence of the sign

I've wrestled all my friends to be proud 
Was always up when they were really quite down
They looked on me for inspiration
Which i always had when you were with me

So I tore up these words like a book
Of meanings misquoted & so misunderstood
I cut them and read them backwards to see 
What it might feel like to be without me

I listened to the whispering leaves
Fallen from rows of towering telegraph trees
The words didn't hide me or bruise me or cheat my honesty
Sweet tastes like poison when you rang to raise a glass to memories

My love for you is deeper than these words 
deeper than the meaning of this verse 
Deeper than the signified
Beneath the essence of the sign

Tomorrow brings another backward thought of Memories that are borrowed from what's slackened then pulled taught 
Of memories distorted by a time 
When all was not consuming like this poetry that's fighting for a rhyme 
 
We built this house with only our hands 
Suffering the time hungry gravity of sand 
Now the winds of complacency spin the weather vane
As you try to live without me

Loving you's like swaying through a train with lost stability
Connecting doors below the metal clashes with insanity 
Sunlight flashing on two steel veins 
though a tunnel brings on a yellow flame 
Like the gentle warning whistle of your name 

My love for you is deeper than these words 
deeper than the meaning of this verse 
Deeper than the signified
Beneath the essence of the sign

After the success of the Billboard charting Poetically Justified, Marcus Johnson, releases his latest CD This Is How I Rock on July 27, 2010. The album boldly delves into the pop/rock genre with a jazz spin as Johnson captures some of the industry’s most notable songs that influenced him earlier in his career. This CD exemplifies Johnson’s versatility and brilliant interpretive skills and will engage listeners with his signature jazz funk sound.

I CAN’T GO FOR THAT (SINGLE) – Johnson adds a sophisticated piano sheen on the Hall & Oates’ R&B/Pop hit, I Can’t Go For That, the lead single on This Is How I Rock. This single produced by Robert McDonald, is riveting, in the groove, fun, and drives Marcus Johnson on piano to a high-level of funk and jazz.

VIRTUAL INSANITY – Jamiroquai’s hit, Virtual Insanity, also produced by Robert McDonald, is another fun track allowing Marcus to have freedom to play with the track. Virtual Insanity showcases the luscious string arrangement supported by featured violinist Bobby Yang.

RISE – Marcus Johnson's approach to Herb Alpert's chart topping single Rise features trumpeter Greg Adams of Tower of Power. The track seductively blends Johnson’s intricate and hypnotic piano accompaniment with Adams’ smoky trumpet.

THANK YOU – For his interpretation of Sly and the Family Stone’s, Thank You (For Letting Me Be Myself), Johnson teams up again with Najee, giving this classic a new twist with the shimmering ethereal sound from Johnson’s Fender Rhodes and the funky swagger of Najee’s sax.

MAS QUE NADA – Made popular by Sergio Mendes, Johnson maintains the Mendes’ uniquely Brazilian flavor while adding the exotic background vocals of jazz/R&B hit-maker Maysa.
