from the moment I heard this song start I was hooked. That guitar riff and the crazy wha effect he’s got on it was too cool. Along with the bouncy head bobbin’ groove, it all combines to be seriously cool.

Vocally I was taken back to some things my dad used to play while I was a sprouting boy. I’m kinda thinking elements of things like Elvis Costello and David Lindley. Of course there’s the obvious stuff musically like Bob Marley, but I’m sure there’s a lot more than that. I can’t quite place my finger on it. Which is a good thing cause that means I can think of Jaik as original in my book.

Besides, who really doesn’t want to keep moving and who doesn’t dream? Show me someone who isn’t dreaming or moving and I’ll show you someone who is dead. You don’t want to be dead right? That’s what I figured. Go get some life and pick up Jaik. I think it’s a matter of life or death!

Jaik Miller Band ~ Keep Movin

in the spring of 2010, 2nd week of NOLA jazzfest, i had the incredible opportunity to spend a few moments with the very gifted Billy Iuso actually writing a tune together. in the same room. with dogs and kids and toys and the amazing Tara who really is the one who inspired the whole "trippin over dragons" thing, although if i remember correctly it was me who actually tripped on Jibblits. Billy and his Restless Natives are releasing their recording of "trippin" next month. this is Dennis Black, Instant Classic's version, the first song i ever recorded on my notebook, 100% in my sleep. honest.
what u know bout that?

stay late
after all it is not very far
you label everyone
and all your words are wrong
(let go)
sweet betrayal
your teeth against my bone
your own fantasy is on the telephone

release the words you're choking on
you know i was only joking, love
let go of everything you'v e done
let go and i will help you come
release the words you're choking on....
all your words are wrong

lost, alien
you can call this home
alone? no -
everyone has heard this song before
a door is opening
a gateway to the stars
we are everything that's locked inside our hearts

release the words you're choking on
(i will help you come)
you know i was only joking, love
(let go of everything you've done)
let go of everything you'v e done
let go and i will help you come
release the words you're choking on....
all your words are wrong
all your words
are wrong

all of us have heard this song before
a door, opening...
gateway to the stars
we all are everthing that's locked inside our hearts

i will help you come

           hands tied

speak the truth you liar
you're preaching to the choir
tell me what you see
you don't know wat you don't need;
you won't blow if you don't bleed
and you'll never open wide
if all your hands are tied
you gotta break free

this one's razor thin
this one breaks the skin
now it's time to feed
you won't grow if you don't grieve;
you won't know what's underneath
and it's too hard to decide
when all your hands are tied
u gotta break free

this one's razor thin
this one breaks the skin
you don't know what you don't need
you won't blow if you don't bleed
you won't grow if you don't grieve
you won't know what's underneath
