Going for your Spotlight this time. I really should try to honor that more. Haha. :)

Quite the dreamy song, and the vocal harmonies are beautiful. :)

Charming song (from 5 years ago, haha), my friends. You all play very well together. :)

Love that melodious guitar on the intro. Achingly sweet vocals Janine. Wonderfully whimsical wordsmithing too.

brilliant track of a great trio...your dual singing is so beautiful - can feel the lyrics...wonderful melodies (I have another association with the admired Aimee Mann)

SOMEPLACE  BLUE

lyrics below 

Written, performed, and produced by Janine and the Problem

David Levinson - Guitar

There are times when I don't like this world
I wanna be alive,  I do
But somewhere else
Someplace far away in the sky
   
But the galaxy is wide and blue
I'd only last a day or two
And maybe blue ain't such a good thing 
Anyhow,  I'd be too far from you

There are things that I can overcome
Like standing when I want to run
Stayin' put is a good thing
Anyhow,  I'd be runnin' from you
              
Maybe I should write a letter, 
Tell the sky a thing or two
Or maybe I'll just be a grown up 
Find the good I'm standing next to

I'd like to take a spaceship ride
And watch the earth move out of sight
All gold and blue
My tears would dry in the sky

I'd float across the night of blue
And tumble for a mile or two
But maybe night ain't such a good time 
Anyhow, I'd be too far from you

I'd be too far from you

Quiet Town (Chillout)

IN THE RAIN (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2020 / Remixed/fixed Aug 2023)

In the rain, our arms wide to you.
In the rain, you save our souls, yes you do. 

...and the rain, it's a time for me to say 'I love you'.
with the ring, with a kiss.  My love, I hope it'll do.

Mesmerizing pitter-patter;
scent of a fresh storm; 
Delicious seeing water dripping down your form.
A cool drink from the clouds, 
nothing makes a person live their life more fully,  
like knowing how fleeting it can be. 

Break.

In the rain.
Feeling you splashing down from the heavens. 
In the rain, 
you make the clouds go away.
Kids can dance in the puddles made by you.
In the rain,
we know you are true.

Water droplets on my girlfriends lips, 
entices me to kiss them.
Wet leaves falling from trees, so precious...
...a clap of thunder after a funeral procession,
says that they'll go to heaven.

In the rain,
on a tin roof; window pane.
Hold my hand, love a rainy day.
as the drops come down so free.

In the rain...

Keith was dabbling with a small keyboard. A little melody flowed.  It all flowed from there. Sometimes the simple beginnings inspire some deep thoughts. Choices always intrigue me - variations on the theme of "should I stay or should I go?" How do you weigh that decision in a relationship? The answer is in the title - when you come to the uncomfortable awareness that there is nothing special to keep you, so Nothing Special is left behind.

Nothing Special (left Behind) 

    1. In the middle of the night I slip away
    At the crack of dawn I'm gone 
    The pain inside me grows, 
    Until I have no more
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaaah)

    2. I can only stand the thought I hold 
    When i let it go
    When I can't feel it anymore, 
    Time has made me whole
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaah)
    (CHORUS)
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Nothing special, nothing special, nothing special left behind
