YOU’RE THE SON OF A GUN AND A FATHER OF A SON 
I CAN TELL BY WHAT’S BEEN TOLD TO ME
LITTLE FRED IN HIS BED IS DREAMING OF A TREE
YOU ARE 40 YEARS AHEAD COS FRED IS ONLY THREE

CAN YOU BALANCE A PLATE ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD JAKE
SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE I HEARD YOU COULD DO SO 
CAN YOU HAVE A BIG BREAK WITH A VIDEO AD JAKE
AND MIME AMERICANA WITH YOUR BASEBALL HAT

A GHOST WRITER OR  A MUSE OH OH
WHO IS PAIGE SUPPOSED TO BE? 
FROM WHAT I READ IN THE NEWS OH OH
SHE COULD BE BOTH COULD’NT SHE?

JUST A WORD FOR JULIENNE WHO SEEMS A DEDICATED FRIEND
ET À TOUS LES GENS QUI T’AIMENT ET QUE TU AIMES AUSSI
ON RÉCOLTE CE QUE L’ON SÈME TOI TU AS SEMÉ DES AMIS
HENCE YOUR LIFE IS WHAT IS MEANT TO BE


GOULIES AND GHOSTIES AND LONG LEGGETY BEASTIES
THAT GO AND JUMP IN GEORGIA JAKE
I KNOW THAT’S WHAT YOU GO FOR THE AMERICANA LORE
NO WONDER SINCE YOUR FAMILY
WERE QUILTERS, FOLKLORISTS, PAINTERS, WINE MAKERS
ALL BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS
SOMEBODY TOLD ME SO
SO IN THE NAME OF ALL THE TURTLES IN THE WORLD
I WISH YOU MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
HAPPY HAPPY
IT’S THE TREE OF LIFE
HAPPY RETURNS

HAPPY RETURNS (Lyrics) Song for Jake

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.

***AI is FIRM NO - ALL MUSIC WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND PERFORMED BY ©Crackerjack**

Hi, I am Jon, my music name is ©Crackerjack. Having re-read my own bio, which I haven’t done for some time, I realised how self-important it sounded!! I wish I was  a dynamic lead, rhythm, and bass guitarist whose sound is deeply rooted in blues-infused hard rock. 

The latter of this sentence is at least true in terms of styles – although I do also love metal and power sludge (Pantera), some classical, blues, Jazz/funk, Gangsta Rap.  I also do play lead, rhythm and bass, write, arrange and perform all the music and vocals. 

The drums are programmed on my Boss BR80 Micro Digital recorder; however I am planning on teaching myself how to play these. I also mix down and produce all my music.

My music era growing up was late 80s- mid/late 90’s.  Huge influences for me were early GNR, especially Slash, who is the reason I fell in love with the Les Paul and playing lead; Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Black Crows, ACDC, STP, Faith No More, Gary Moore, ZZ Top – the list goes on, and all over the place!

Whilst I am a hard rock guy, I do venture into more metal as some of my tracks like The Gringo, Corrupt, Insidious, The Nomad may showcase. I also have 3 or so songs written which will be folk/country, my softer side, but need to buy a new acoustic before I record these.

I have released probably 60 singles and 5 track EP called Life Stories, which is what it says on the tin. 

The songs cover addiction - Husk' to ballads  'A Love Untold’ and a cheeky little interlude of the Sabbath variety with my good mate Somewhere 77’ supplying the bongo beat.

Happy to colab where time allows in between being a dad, work, dad, work, dad!!!

I love the sounds of the 60s and 70s especially. I try to write songs that I would enjoy listening to myself. It’s the only gauge I have. My songs are just the sum total of all my positive listening experiences. I'll let you try to guess who they are!

FREEDOM OF OPINION - FREEDOM OF THOUGHT - FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Some say I don't mince words. I sometimes say terrible things, as well as sweet and superfluous ones. I can love and hate, but I always maintain respect for those who love me or provoke me.

Currently, the world is changing dangerously. Those responsible are not always who we think. And those who deserve punishment are undoubtedly those who cause it, but even more so those who instigate it.

I like Americans and I like Russians. What I appreciate much less is the politics of these countries, their leaders, their underlings, and their administrations... In France, it must be admitted that things have been a real mess for the past few years, and there's nothing we can do about it. We joined the European Union, which now imposes its directives, which dark and idiotic "governors" implement without a word, since their countries are no longer sovereign.

We knew the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)... and now we are 27 countries in the UESR (Union of European Socialist Republics).

This UESR is a monumental mistake, not the very beginning, but the one it has become, an entity that relentlessly pursues its devastating expansionism, which also allows NATO bases in the countries of the union, and which the Russians consider a direct threat. Well, I understand them!

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis from October 14 to 27, 1962, a diplomatic and military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was "too close" and represented a direct threat! It was almost the beginning of World War III, so the Soviet Union withdrew its missiles. Let the United States do the same now by withdrawing its NATO nuclear missiles, which it has deployed throughout the European Union.

The European Union promised us peace—which is, after all, why it was created—but now it wants war. It must be said that what the European Union has lacked (from the very beginning!) is a common defense, which was not the case for the former Soviet Union or even for the United States today.

The United States of Europe is like the frog that wanted to be bigger than the ox. Without a common defense, it is headed for certain doom, or it relies on NATO for its defense, but the game is no longer the same and would be much more dangerous for the entire world. This is where forced expansionism leads.

Peace on Earth to people of goodwill - ❤️🕊️🙏

Tracks recorded in home studio, For better sound use your headphones
The lead vocals and backing vocals are recorded with just an SM58 microphone! And I don't use any AI voice effects. The tracks are mixed a little and therefore it sounds more like a live performance on my recording tracks.
For a better sound experience for you use your headphones.
*
And finally to all listeners!
-The music gives emotions and has a great positive effect on a person's physical and mental health! 
Music regulates emotions, when you listen to relaxing and enjoyable music the stress level is lower and it also has the effect of conveying love between people! 
"Thanks for listening and following"
