Lyrics: 
I would walk with you
Through a land of indigo laces
You'd hold my hand 
We'd set sail for the moon
I would comfort you 
In the cold light of the stars 
And when the world around us isn't enough
The universe would give us space for our love...
I would wait for you 
Suspended in the darkness
A merry-go-round of planets 
Passing us by
Drifting dust of stars
Perfect work of art
And when the world around us isn't enough
The universe would give us space for our love...
I would tie a ribbon around 
Earth before we leave
Put it on a shelf because
"Together's" all we need...
Tied to you with kite strings 
Let the wind take us away
Children of the sun
Reaching for the stars
And after space and time
Would you still be mine?
If the world around us isn't enough
the universe would give us space for our love...

<3

Universal Love

Restless Hearts

"Dig Your Stuff" is a song I wrote a few years ago and once I surrounded myself with some top-notch musicians, I figured it would be fun to see where it went. I just let the musicians hear what they hear and the song took shape without very much input from me. Then when I heard the music, I did my best to match the vocals. It's fun... that's genre we were going for. 

We were fortunate enough to get some great sounding tracks of trumpet playing by our dearly departed friend Stan Baron who has left a big whole in the band and our hearts after his untimely passing last year. We miss you Stan!! Every time we play a song we all hear a heavenly trumpet in our heads.

Dig Your Stuff

I have been busy in the studio, and am ecstatic to be sharing another new song with you! Please let me know what you think with a comment or otherwise. Thanks for taking the time to listen ~ Betty Jane

Lyrics:
I've walked for ages
past the testaments of time
searching for the pieces
to complete this heart of mine
on foot, on train, on camel back
on the tail of a shooting star
i found you hiding
in the crest of the moon
a foreign delight
my alien tune

The way you conversate me
with words that inspirate me
you make me feel like - oooh
so intrinsically connected to
the art that is you
The way your body moves me
your eyes that see right through me
paint me inside to out
it's primary red, yellow blue
the art that is you

I danced in Egypt 
with a huntsman & a thief
they held my heart in their hands
and i held theirs with my teeth
and the tide came in
but was always short
at the dawning of every day
i found you lost
in the colors of the sky
infinitely reflected 
sunrise's disguise

The way you conversate me
with words that inspirate me
you make me feel like - oooh
so intrinsically connected to
the art that is you
The way your body moves me
your eyes that see right through me
paint me inside to out
it's primary red, yellow blue
the art that is you

You've got me tied
like a bird to its kind
like a kite to its tree
we're free
If time was a canvas
I'd paint you a romance
of laughter and love
can't stop thinking of

The way you conversate me
The way you call me baby
you make me feel - oooh 
so intrinsically connected to
the art that is you
The way your body moves me
your eyes that see right through me
paint me inside to out
it's primary red, yellow blue
the art that is you

the art that's you

The Art Of You

Here's a song that will be on my full-length CD released later this year. Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to listen and give your feedback. You are on this journey with me <3

"Nocturne in D" (lyrics)
Dark night - liquid lines, 
captivated in a moments time. 
Deep purple heart 
and a velvet tie, 
lost in your eyes 
there's no disguising me. 

O dark knight you call my name, 
your magic spell has become my faith. 
Fingers rooted tongue I bleed, 
for the art that has taken over me. 
And if I fall into the dust, 
I'll know the fire burned bright enough... 
I'll be your light, a star for my dark night. 

Temple temptress dressed as wine, 
soft to my lips is this a sign. 
Pulling me under drinking me dry, 
six feet underneath I hear my spirit speak. 

O dark knight you call my name, 
your magic spell has become my faith. 
Fingers rooted tongue I bleed, 
for the art that has taken over me. 
And if I fall into the dust, 
I'll know the fire burned bright enough... 
I'll be your light, a star for my dark night. 

Tango twisted 
spun in the web of your words 
what you do to me. 
Thirsty kisses are a delicacy. 
Silver threaded hallucinating 
in a different space and time, 
where we don't burn in our own fire. 

O dark knight you call my name, 
your magic spell has become my faith. 
Fingers rooted tongue I bleed, 
for the art that has taken over me. 
And if I fall into the dust, 
I'll know the fire burned bright enough... 
I'll be your light, a star for my dark night. 


Nocturne in D

PROGRESS! Another song towards a full-length release later this year. Stay tuned, and please keep sharing your lovely comments with me. You help keep me motivated! Thank you so much for listening <3

"Skipping Sunday"
I feel my heart, 
it skips a beat 
on a Sunday afternoon. 
Can't feel the pavement 
beneath my feet 
like I'm flying. 
I have to shower everyday 
just in case I see you, 
I see you, I see you.

I wear my tee shirts a little tight 
and my heels a little "high". 
Little makeup before I sleep 
at night for my dreams. 
Like a kid in a candy shop 
licking up sweet ice cream, 
yeah I think, I like you, 
I like you, I like you.

I ride my bike down 16th street 
where you live.
 I like to hide up in your tree 
'cause, I'm a creep! 
When you come home baby 
have to hold myself steady 
because I feel like I'm falling too 
deep, into you, 
into you, into you.

I know it might seem sporadic 
but hey, baby I'm an addict for your love 
for your sweet touch. 
Keep waiting for us to make out, 
hey baby, let's not break up 
it would be too much, 
let's stay in love.

London bridges falling....

I drink sangria on my stoop 
'cause it's cool. 
Kick back on my keyboard 
and write a tune. 
If I make it big I'll owe it 
to cheap wine and citrus fruit 
......and to you.

Afterburn

This record is about losing our faith in humanity. It is about those who willingly choose faith over reason, violence over compassion, dogma over logic and how they doom our world with rigidity and absolutes.

WIth the exception of the drums, which were recorded/mixed by Josh Rosenboom @ SER, this album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Joseph Gardner over the course of two years.

senderOne is - 
Joseph Gardner: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Programming
John Biely: Keyboards, Backing Vocals, Electronic Beats
James Pope: Drums

Special thanks to Jeromy Graves for the sweet solos in "Ocean of Stars" and Created in a Mist"

Thanks for listening!
