You are a shining star in so many ways! Fabulous as ever😀

Love your voice J9, nice words to mull around too :)

this is hot.  pure pop gold.  i would have done rollerskate tricks.

this rhythm at the end is wild.  it's like there's a skip in the record kinda, i really like it, and it catches my attention on each listen.

Great title. Good vocal interpretation and melody. It sounds fantastic. The production is top-notch.

Indeed an energized track that you matched into with these fine lyrics and vocal work Janine. The subject of your lyrics sounds like a forgettable character..😊 Well done! Durge

Lovin Every Moment

Life & The Local 

We can talk the same old shite for many hours
Our I could buy you some more petrol station flowers
Tell you that I’m sorry 
Then do the same shit tomorrow 
Our except it for what it is
And give up on the big fat quiz
We can walk down to the local
Join in the banter and get social 
Because that’s more fun 
If you wanna be my number 1

Life and the local


Glad to see you made the right decision 
And you kinda catching on to my vision 
Oh life is for living so now you gotta start giving 
I’m gonna get the first round in
And this were we begin 
To paper over all the crack’s 
And make sure it gonna last 
Well at least to the end of this session 
Don’t ask me another question 
Yes that’s my best mate Tommy 
And yes I find him rather funny 
I don’t think he meant to offend 
Oh the coats on is this the end 

Life and the local

Here's another killer jam with STONERJAZZ.  

It's a cool mostly acoustic piece where STONERJAZZ does most of the heavy lifting with his killer playing.

Clean Beacon - Rays thru the Down Pour (Enigma Curry and Arma Ignifera)

I'm predominantly a guitar player so I thought I would challenge myself to write a piece of music on the piano, something which I've never done before. 
I've always been a fan of calm piano music and this was the result of jamming around a D major chord. 

Falling

Y-Johannesburg Zoo

This is a perfect song for collaboration that JJ came up with on the keys and bass, based on a really cool drum track that Ken (K2 and the Three, K2 and the Four) gave him. They are both wildly creative, and left the perfect amount of collaborator space, as they do on every song. Then I got a hold of it and added the main guitar, lap slide, mandolin, and some synth. Then we sent it over to Stephen (TexMex Shaman), who added that really cool guitar solo at the end of the first part, and some more guitar to the end. Also, and very importantly, Stephen produced and mixed this for us. Talk about monumental task! It was like we gave him a basket of cats, and he made a cohesive thought out of it. I'm amazed. I can't overstate how much I enjoy making music with these three sorcerers. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did making this.

The fine gentlemen at Mastering True Music (formerly FredTracks) sent this track -- and I was delighted to write and sing over it! They always send great, professional tracks made with real instruments. Such a pleasure to work with. And always a challenge to sing over a different style than my own!

Something To Believe    

Give me something to think about 
Give my lonely soul relief 
Just some words I can mull around 
Give me something to believe  

I want more than your company 
Give me something of your heart 
Like a blanket to comfort me 
Like a fire in my arms  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your soul 
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me something to think about 
Give me memories of love
Give me something to think about 
Give me all your tears and blood  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe

Honor the TIde        

Janine Levinson 2021
Guitars by the wonderful Jonathan Beckenstein @jonathan_beckenstein

The ebb and the swell and the push and the pull
You’re aware of the tide or you’re not
The flickering voices that whisper the answers
Won’t bother to wonder the ears that you’ve got

You will flow or resist, go along or be pissed
You will honor the tide or you won’t
And the feelings you feel go as far as your skin
While the water just crushes your bones
The water just crushes your bones

In times of confusion and heavy persuasion
You’ll lie down and give, or you won’t
As pungent reminders flow down through the rafters
And you choose to swallow or shut down the whole

They will flow or resist, go along or be pissed
They will honor the tide or they won’t
And the feelings they feel go as far as your skin
While the water just crushes their bones
The water just crushes their bones     

It’s the way of the world,  It’s the way that things are
You will honor the tide or you won’t
You’re the tiniest speck on the tiniest star
And it really don’t matter, cause we really don’t

We will flow or resist, go along or be pissed
We will roll with the tide or we won’t
And the feelings we feel go as far as the sky
But the water still crushes our bones
The water still crushes our bones
The water still  crushes our bones

Honor The Tide - With Jonathan Beckenstein

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.

Intro 
WICKED

Well who do you think you are anyway? 
You’re not my Super-Star nor anyone elses
HUH! You’re just a Dead-Beat Boy-Friend Baby

How wicked, wicked you are
So low & wicked you are
Ya’ cut straight-into me
Stone cold blooded-ly

So long to re-al-ize
Just livin’ in disguise
Was hoping for the best
Our life was only a test

Years dragged on dark
Too painful to recall
Blin-ded by-ai 
Your Pretty-Boy-Ploys

I served you well
Instead it was hell
Picked up your clothes
I scrubbed up the floors

And you never cared
Dared to see
How I was 
Witherin’ slowly

Di-sin-te-grating
No longer myself
You made me feel
Less and 
Less of a…

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to 
Desire me, desire me

GUITAR SOLO

Years dragged on dark
Too painful to recall
Blin-ded by-ai 
Your Pretty-Boy-Ploys

I served you well
Instead it was hell
I picked up your clothes
I scrubbed up the floor

And you never cared
Dared to see
How I was 
Witherin’ slowly

Di-sin-te-grating
No longer myself
You made me feel
Less and 
Less and 
Less of a…

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to 
Desire me, desire me

(Eh-Eh Ah-Ah
Wo-Oh Oh Oh...Oh
Yeah-Ee-Yeah-Ee
Yeah-Ee-Yeah-Eh)

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to 
Desire me, desire me

Take it away my rockin’ rollers 
Cuz’ this girl needs to sing her heart out

Thrash it, smash it, hit me hard
I’m contemplating leavin' ya
Thrash it, smash it, hit me hard
I just wanna feel good again
Cuz’ I’m so done

Oh listen up real good
You are so wicked
You're so-oo
Damn, damn wicked
Wicked you are

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to 
Desire me, desire me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me
Wanted me

Sometimes I just don't pick up on stuff.

Lyrics:
When I saw that fist coming at me
I knew they'd met the end of their hospitality
I'd become a professional dinner guest
Couch surfing pest
They said: Hey man, you've got to move on!
We've giving you ample opportunity 
To get your shit together
You've got to move on!
I hadn't a clue
I've got the oblivious blues

She wanted to try some new things in bed
I thought that meant do the same thing
But twice instead
Oblivious blues
It's what you do when you can't read the mood
Oblivious blues
I'm not reading the room right at all

The preacher say (hey boy!)
Were going to Baptize you for a second time
We've got to get that devil out
We can't tell if your just clueless
Or full of doubt

Oblivious blues
It's what you do when you can't read the room
Oblivious blues

When I see myself in the mirror I see my younger self
A dewy rock & roller
With baby fur
The cashier at the drugstore calls me sir
Oblivious blues
It's what you do when you can't read the room
Oblivious blues

I can't tell when to end this song...

Oblivious Blues

New album released called "Advance with Courage" I call the music Americana Progressive Folktronica.
