cut open on the sharp edges of ur mind

Imagine a phone call. Two people close to each other take turns speaking. Not everything reaches their ears, but they feel the positive vibrations. Love is more than words! It is mystery. That's more or less what this song is about!!! Hope you enjoy my new surf track 😎🎸

Mystery You

'hard work to live'

The shadows of leaves
rustling in the breeze
make me wanna leave you forever.
I'm done with my pleads,
a man has his needs,
I no longer believe you're my treasure. 
Well, most of the time
I've walked the line
that you've marked for mine feet, my lady.
I've been hopin' to find
a reason of kinds
to starkly defy your ass, baby.
Because I'm so tired
of feeling so mired
I give in to thoughts that misgive. 
And what will transpire
is no such desire
for you 'cause it's hard work to live. 

I sit and I stare,
mostly without care 
from an uncomfortable chair almost daily
at words on a screen
on a type of machine
I manipulate so they can pay me.
Although I am there
I'm not in my chair
I'm floating in orbit around me
exploring my dreams
and anxieties
that are coaxing me once they have found me.
I need a break.
This shit, I can't take.
Give in 'cause I've no more to give.
I'm finally awake
and from this I take,
livin's work, why're we workin' to live? 

I wake around noon
in a stifling room,
four walls and a ceiling around me.
I wait for the moon,
otherwise it's too soon
to emerge and come swoon your ass, baby.
But I'm happy alone
in this world of unknowns
that has shown it can change any moment.
In which I'm a drone
'til it's all overthrown
and my mind is blown knowing I know it.
So I'll carry on
in a world of all wrongs
that has left me no rights, still I give
all that I can
when I feel like that man,
'cause shit, it's sure hard work to live.

hard work to live

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured his son, Marshall, singing the lead with his dad, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to him. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock and roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.
  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. Then it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the JD, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

JUKEBOX QUEEN (Lyrics)

She's a jukebox queen
Who really digs the scene
In her platform shoes and tight flared jeans
(Tight flared – Tight flared jeans)

She wears a crazy coloured coat
Nice glitter in her hair
She really digs the music thrown in the air
(By her - jukebox machine)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

Oooh my jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
She has a stove pipe hat and Rides a White Swan
Ride on – Baby ride on)

My jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
My jukebox queen
She's a Jeepster - for my love
(My love – For my love)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

I push the buttons C and (4) four
Than we hear Hot Love that´s what we are looking for
If I looking through - a colourfull lense
All of Bolan`s words make sense

Uh uh nananaa
Uh uh na na
Uh uh nananaa
Uh Uh Hey Hey

She is my jukebox queen
Really digs the scene
She likes to dance all night long
And won't - go home
Jukebox queen!!

Jukebox queen - A Cosmic Dancer
Jukebox queen - She is a Jewel

Jukebox queen - A Mystic Lady
Jukebox queen - She´s my Baby Strange
