NEW DAY

In the heartland where the fields stretch for miles
I'm back in my hometown chasing distant smiles
In the stillness of the streets, a silent refrain,
Echoes of a life now lost, haunting in its strain.
And throughout my journey the wind builds a song
It carries me back, to the place I once belonged

I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made
	
The old oak on Main Street stands solid and strong
Its roots ever deeper, mine seem to be gone 
I can’t tell what’s different, but nothing’s the same
I’d hoped to feel grounded, but I’m weighed down instead
This journey to source has all been in vain
Just shows what I’ve lost, what I won’t feel again

I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made
 
A letter unsent, a call never made
There was always tomorrow until it was too late
I want to believe there’s a chance for me still
To turn ember to spark, if there’s a way, there’s a will

I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made

Krajobrazy

Woła mnie, woła mnie jesienią
Wiatr od Połonin, od Wetliny
Dęby jak koral się czerwienią
W zgubionych listach od dziewczyny

Stromo ścieżkami pnie się Otryt
Świerki w obłoków patrzą lustro
Wrzesień od rannej rosy mokry
Okrywa pola białą chustą

Rwącym strumieniem niebo płynie
Przyszłość przeszłości nie pamięta
Ponad drogami i w dolinie
Echa kołacze się kolęda

Woła mnie, woła mnie jesienią
Wiatr od Połonin, od Wetliny
Tylko zgubionych listów nie mam
I chyba nie mam już dziewczyny

Tylko zgubionych listów nie mam
I chyba nie mam już dziewczyny
Tylko zgubionych listów nie mam
I chyba nie mam już dziewczyny

"My Mind" by Bobby Clayton is a poignant exploration of the emotional turmoil that accompanies memories and choices. The song opens with a reflective verse that establishes a dialogue between friends, contemplating the inevitable end of relationships and the weight of past decisions. 

The imagery of "shadows of the past" and "silhouettes" evokes a sense of nostalgia, underlining the struggle to move forward while grappling with lingering fears and regrets. The chorus captures the essence of confusion and uncertainty, as Clayton's heartfelt delivery resonates with anyone who has faced indecision. The repeated phrase "my mind confused / On what to do" encapsulates the internal conflict that arises when reflecting on life’s path. 

The blend of introspective lyrics and emotive melodies creates an atmosphere that is both relatable and haunting, inviting listeners to confront their own experiences with memory and choice. Overall, "My Mind" is a soulful ballad that beautifully encapsulates the complexities of human emotion, making it a standout track for anyone navigating the crossroads of life.

Loved You To Infinity

This song is a powerful declaration of resilience and self-empowerment. It's about overcoming the toxic influence of someone who seeks to undermine and manipulate through lies and jealousy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a struggle against negativity and deceit, but ultimately, the song's message is one of triumph and rising above the noise. We assert our voice and identity, refusing to be broken or silenced, while the manipulative figure's lies and envy are rendered hollow and futile. The song's themes revolve around confidence, inner strength, and the unwavering commitment to one's own truth.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Shadows creeping where the spotlight gleams
He whisper poison in the cracks of dreams
Twisting truths to break the fragile glow
Jealousy’s a fire
It burns so slow
 
[Chorus]
He sing his lies in a shattered key
A symphony of envy haunting me
But my melody won’t break or bend
His hollow echoes meet their end
 
[Verse 2]
He weaves his words like a spider’s thread
Hoping to tangle what’s in my head
But I wear the scars like battle signs
This voice of mine
It still defines
 
[Chorus]
He sing his lies in a shattered key
A symphony of envy haunting me
But my melody won’t break or bend
His hollow echoes meet their end
 
[Bridge]
The crowd may falter but the truth will rise
Through broken chords and his alibis
He’ll drown in the silence of his deceit
While I climb higher
His fall’s complete
 
[Chorus]
He sing his lies in a shattered key
A symphony of envy haunting me
But my melody won’t break or bend
His hollow echoes meet their end
 
[Verse 3]
In the mirror, he sees a fading light
A reflection of his own darkest night
He tries to dim my shine so bright
But his deceit will only lose the fight 

[Outro]
The stage is set, the curtain's drawn
My voice resounds, while his lies are gone
I rise above the noise and pain
My melody remains, his lies echoe in vain

Swedish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Johan Alm's solo project, Jambrains, is like a Kinder Surprise: you never know exactly what you are going to get but you know it's going to be tasty and expertly packaged. His music is a fusion of strong melodies and the power of guitars en masse with just a pinch of folk thrown in for good measure.

After paying his dues in numerous bands over the years, 2014 saw the birth of Jambrains as a vehicle for Johan to deliver what he calls "power with melody". "I had so many ideas and was writing so many songs but it was just too difficult to find the time to rehearse them with the band, let alone perform or record them. I had two choices - go solo or go insane", he explains.

At the beginning there was no well-defined Jambrains sound - guitars were always a key ingredient but doing lead vocals was new to Johan and style-wise, the songs were very diverse. Eventually a pattern emerged centred around the power and energy of classic rock with the melodies, harmonies and hooks of pop peppered with the ever-present undertow of folk.

The debut album '900 Days' was released in December 2016 and was well received. "It’s personal and fun, and always accompanied by amazing guitar", one review said.  "I wanted to sort of document the first 900 days of Jambrains, so I selected my 12 favorite songs and remixed/remastered them for the album", says Johan. '900 Days' is a perfect introduction to the evolution of the distinctive sound of Jambrains.

The follow up EP 'Life, Love & Lies' was released in September 2017. "This time I wanted more coherent material with regard to both songwriting and production", says Johan. Where the material for the first album was written and recorded over a period stretching over more than 2 years, 'Life, Love & Lies' was written and recorded over the course of 6 months and as a result, the second Jambrains release does sound tighter and more focused.

The third EP Faded Dreams was release in July 2018 and was well received. Johan is currently finalising the a fourth EP named Lost Horizons scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.
