Name: Please Don't Go (WTJB) 4-4-25 by John Britton in JDB Original songs 2025
Duration: 4 min 10 s
Description: A version of an original song with WT on drums. This song is about the separation anxiety that my eight year old son had a few years back. He never wanted his mom or me to leave him after tucking him into bed. It became an elaborate negotiation. I'm glad he's over that phase, but it was also a tender time and this song reminds me of it.

Tried an original song about longing for home. WT on drums and Chris on keys. Fun to dig into the roster of recent songs to try out a deep cut. 

Knoxville (WTJBCD) 1-15-25 v3.3

First original hip hop song. Built off a drum groove by WT. Vocals by Slang Man, bringing Brooklyn rapper vibes. Guitar and production by JB. Fun to try. 

I'm Alright With You (Slangman) 1-15-25 v1.2

Revisited an original song about my young son who had separation anxiety as an 8 year old and didn't want his parents to leave him at bedtime. Playing this a few years after writing it brings me back to that time. WT holding it down on drums. 

Please Don't Go (WTJB) 1-23-25

This is a song under development. I tried a series of chord inversions on this song. I recoded them with WT on drums. Her drumming towards the end is insane. I sent the track to my friend Lauren in Texas and she overdubbed her vocal. The song is still a work in process, but I liked Lauren's direction. 

Inversion (feat Lu)

improv blues jam with my nephews. Henry on sax. Elliot on drums and vocals. I'm on the Telecaster and then on the overdubbed bass.
