Unforgiven

repress agress (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by  Prod. Peril)

This is a song I created with the help of a kickass instrumental by Madatracker. It is based on a little known incident in the eastern part of the world where there were body piles that were notorious for having live victims hiding under the deceased in order to attempt to survive.  Unfortunately the men wielding the weapons were very patient and thorough, although a few did pull it off and are still here today trying to forget the Hell they went through to be able to go back home to see their families again. I will speak for those that did pull it off and say, that was both a very large and very small price to pay to earn the ability to make it home to see loved ones again. Also those that have the knowledge and are still here today will never forget the sacrifice of those courageous men and women that paid the ultimate price that made it possible for the few to survive.
I hope you listen and I hope you enjoy, even though it is difficult to make a song like this entertaining in any way. My hope is that after reading the inspiration for the song you will then hear the lyrics and it will make more sense. 
Thank you for listening!

LYRICS::::
The blade goes up your head comes down shower of red everything's spinning round and round and round 
death shows up do what he said grab your head and come down come down come down

Wasted life that ended too soon chased it but time sped up for you
Your life never showed you what you need to see
 like watching a burnt out scratched up DVD

Time finally stopped for you 
wishes never did come true 
only the Fallen follow through 
nobody's calling they never do

Twacked out twisted double-fisted better take your ass back home
 before they let the pigs out and they eat the skin off your bones



I'm only trying to extend your life at least a couple more minutes today
 start talking cuz you're just about out of time
 and you know what I'm going to say

The blade goes up your head comes down shower of red everything's spinning around and round and round
 death shows up do what he said 
grab your head and come down come down come down...

Lyrics:

Condescending never ending writings on the wall
There's a place in time where you will find 
Retribution for your crimes

It's not the end of time, it's the end of life as you knew it 
so ask yourself how are you supposed to get through it, get through it 

Guitar Solo 

How many times have you lost your mind believed those lies just to get left behind,
you were told on the day you die no Second Chance can't say goodbye 

Was it the church that made you this way did they kick you out when you tried to pray

 Heaven never wanted you 
and the devil never heard of you 

You were given a shovel so dig your hole You made a deal with the Devil he gets your soul

 ohh ohh you're fading away, 
fading away, you're fading away, 
keep fading away, fading away,
 fading away, fading away

Last Rites (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Ryini)

I'm not sure what it looks like in the rest of the United States but in the Northeast here all of our trees and plants that are usually vibrant green this time of year are faded and washed out looking, like they aren't getting nearly enough sunlight.  If you've been paying attention for the past year or two the government and media have been laying the groundwork to put the blame on climate change but those of us that use more of our brains than most others know what's really going on. If you don't know and you think those of us that do are crazy conspiracy nuts then look in the mirror and you will see the real problem.  And remember,  yesterday's conspiracies are today's realities. 


Lyrics:
The sun no longer shines brilliantly somebody decided we no longer need
light for the plants our family's feed 
won't somebody please tell me what it means 

we can't live without the light 
look up in the sky and ask yourself 
why? Why? Why?

 Why do all the trees look faded green
not enough sun is what it means
 don't listen to the lies 
every news station tries 
While the truth is right outside
 open your eyes!

 Why, why do they want everything to die? 
Why don't we know where we're getting our next meal 
why does the water leave a stain on stainless steel 
please answer this for me 
why do they lie and tell us that we're free

 we can sit and wonder why 
so long we bought the lie
 turned our heads and called them crazy when we knew deep in our hearts that what they say is true 

we know what it means when trees are faded green.

Faded Green a ballad of survival  music by GAXILLIC

LYRICS:

We know the feeling,
When you realize she's gone,
It leaves you reeling,
And it feels so wrong

 That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
 But it's never over, no it's never over,
 It's never over, no it's never over

And God said on the second day,
 Let her come back and say,
 Baby let's talk about it

 But when she comes to see you,
 You will have seen through,
 Then you never quit

Your love is still bright as the sun,
 You can make it up to me,
 Black Sky storm rolling in,
 You're exactly where you wanna be 

That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
But it's never over, it's never over, no it's never over.

It's never over (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)

Lyrics:

I took a drive today,
 wandered aimlessly thoughts drifting away,
 no destination, I just wanted to roam,
 but before I knew it I was sitting in front of my childhood home. 

Been over 20 years since I seen the place,
 but I recognized everything right away. 

There's the little Barn I helped my daddy rebuild,
 and that's the old tree stump in the front yard still.

 I must have straightened a dozen blades every year, 
I didn't know it would hit me this hard just coming here.

Memories are a funny thing,
 they can make you cry or make you sing, a familiar place or even a doorbell ring ,memories are a funny thing. 

I waited so long to come back here, guess I carried an irrational fear,
 maybe I thought I'd see the ghost of my daddy,
 memories are a funny thing.

Memories (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)

Thank you I hope you like my original lyrics song!

Come back home!_1

LYRICS:

Carry me away X5,  Yeah Yeah Yeah, Carry me away. 

Why have you forsaken me,
when all I wanted was to be,
part of your mythology! 

I appear with an open mind,
I fear I may be going blind,
you are a bright shining light,
I SEE BETTER AT NIGHT! 

Nobody watching what we do,
nobody hearing what we say,
so come and carry me away! 

To the depths of your depravity
I will plant the seed,
humans always laughed at me
in my time of need! 
oh no! 

Nobody watching what we do,
nobody hearing what we say,
please come and carry me away,
carry me, carry me away! 

Say that you care,
lie I don't care! 
It's why I don't dare,
fly through the air! 


Carry me away.   Music by Alt Beats

I have been a slave all my life,
To a job a drug even a wife,
you might think I'm crazy but I know it's true,
I bet it's happened, it's happened to you!
Are you crazy too?

I tried to stop so I could be clean
but I knew in my heart I would never be free!

I have been a slave all my life,
 to a job a drug even a wife,
 you might think I'm crazy but I know it's true,
 I bet it's happened, it's happened to you!

As soon as I get rid of one,
 close my eyes turn my head,
 I'm right back where I begun

I bet you think you're free, 
while you sit and drink your tea,
 but you are just like me,
and free you'll never be! 

You wouldn't know Freedom if it knocked on your door, 
you won't recognize it cuz you've never seen Freedom before! No oh oh oh!

We have been slaves all our lives, brainwashed and educated by lies, 
people look at us and they know it's true, look in the mirror, you're a slave too! You're a slave too!

I have been a slave all my life,
To a job a drug even a wife,
You might think I'm crazy but I know it's true,
I bet it's happened, it's happened to you!
Ohh oh yeah, happened to you! 



Addict-Nation (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Madatracker)

We've traveled far, we'll waste no more 
time we have we know what it's for
 we cannot forget the things we've seen 
they hope we think it was all a dream!

 Now we know what the future holds 
we have given our all we won't give no more
 now that we know what we're fighting for 

We  pray for the strength 
we pray for the souls 
we bury the hate so it never grows

 Now we know, now we know, now we know,
now we know oh oh 

We've traveled far we'll waste no more
 time we have we know what it's for 
we cannot forget the things we've seen
Ohh oh was all a dream

our children are wrong
there is something going on
is it the evil we spawn.

Now we know (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by  GAXILLAC)_1

Thank you for listening.  This song has a special place in my heart and is something i think about when a situation feels like it might turn into more than it should

Strategy (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)

Inspiration for this track came from walking around outside, talking to people and watching a couple episodes of the news.  I almost forgot the most important source, the internet.  God help us all.

We need to go_1

Thank you for checking out my new track! 

Fly high (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Madatracker! )_1

I wrote and recorded this sometime in the past 11 months.  I found it in a file of songs that I needed to finish and liked what I heard so I finished the remainder of the track and here we are!  Please listen and comment what you think about this style.  I wasn't sure what the genre should be so I followed my ear and my gut and thought Alternative Folk sounded about right,  whether or not there is a genre with that name I don't know, but there is now.
** I recorded the track with varying degrees of auto tune and while finishing it i decided I didn't like the way auto tune sounded so I shut it off, unfortunately on this, and other apps, you don't have much of a choice once you apply it.  You can attempt to lessen the effect or even alter the % of this and other effects but even with the effects at 0% it still comes through for some reason,  like the part in the last 15 sec.  I wish I knew how to control it better...

Imagine your surprise (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by GAXILLIC)

With the insanity of the elite deciding it would be a good way to spend their money and since they've tried absolutely everything else that money could buy so let's block out the sun! That should cause some positive reactions! So why do the rich Elites get to do what they want to with our Earth and our sun without even Consulting us, the citizens, the people? Does money make you God?  Having some worthless paper gives you enough power over everyone else on this planet to do what you want no matter how fucking crazy it is? Sure let's start another Ice Age, let's kill off all the humans on the planet! Ohh, except for us, the elite! Of course we have 100 year bunkers so we will survive!  Just remember everyone, having money don't make you immortal and being rich don't make you bulletproof! Quantity over quality is the key here! When will we say enough is enough!?

fade away ( Written & performed by Jess Johnson Music by Kaiser beats)

How can any of us really be ok with the way our civilization is rapidly crumbling at our feet?  Watching the unbridled joy on the faces of those that are the main architects of it's destruction, as they prep, plan and execute freely with no oversight or repercussions whatsoever!  
Am I ok?  Not even a little bit..

I'm ok( Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)_1

You know what really pisses me off? These bureaucrats in their self imposed wisdom claim the word "homeless" is too demeaning and hurtful to those that don't have a permanent roof over their heads. So,  in the interest of preserving the dignity of those less fortunate than the kind-hearted city board members, they decided they should now be referred to as the "unhoused" because that is a much kinder word! This story is about how the homeless are treated in Kalamazoo, although not even close to the amount of indignity they suffer on a daily basis, I needed to bring some of it out in the open, the insanity of the needless suffering has changed the way I look at life and the trust I had for those in power.  First blizzard of the year 2024, the city attorney waits until the coldest time of year then makes the cops go out in the middle of the night and physically evict them, usually leaving them with only the clothes on their backs and if they were lucky enough to hold their blanket tight enough so they couldn't rip it out of their hands.  I know it's like this all over the country but I write and sing about what I see and/or experience and this hits close to home because I know a lot of these people real well and there are families that can't afford the insane rental prices or don't have a 700 credit score.  Or they have kids, which is not something they can legally be rejected for but guess what?  They do.  I could go on And on and i know your city has the same issue but dammit there are more of us than them! How long are we going to sit back and allow the evil ruling class to get away with the horrible things they do?  Our planet has enough resources for everyone and we were not meant to pay for it goddammit!!!  I am so fucking sick of seeing suffering,  there is no reason for it other than it strengthens those that perpetrate it! Why are we allowing it?  If I could take on all the evil in the world myself and actually have a chance at making a change i would but I'm not stupid,  I know there are more people out there that feel as I do and you are the people I'm talking to!  Let's figure out a way to change this!  In more ways than just singing about it! 

Zoo-Rule (Written & performed by Jess Johnson Music by Jack Pine)

Of a fancy flight

Sometimes it might seem like you have been holding more weight than your body or mind can handle and you just wish somebody would see how hard you are struggling and come over and tell you, it's OK you can set some of that down and take a break, everything will be alright if you do.  Here, let me carry some of that, it's too heavy for one person to carry around let me help you.  Those magic words are out there, good people that understand and truly care are out there.  Don't carry it all yourself, take a break and let someone else carry some of it too. 
 True strength is allowing  someone to help you, true strength is recognizing you need help then asking for it, true strength is helping those that need help. 

Empty the light (written & performed by Jess Johnson Music by  Kuroime)

This is a track that I freestyled based on the music and my mood.  It was a long process and  I still need to listen to it and write down the lyrics.  I know it seems crazy to do it this way and I've been working on doing it differently by writing the lyrics then adding the instrumental to match the lyrics and so far it seems to be working ok but it will take me some more time to get used to doing it a way that I'm not used to.  Some people have told me I'm doing it wrong and that if I learn to do it the right way my tracks will benefit and be better and do better.  I'm not the kind of guy that thinks my way is best and I am more than willing to take advice because I'll be the first to tell you, I really have no idea what I'm doing or whether it's right or wrong.  I've only been doing it how it feels right to me and if I can make better music by doing it a different way I am more than willing to change my method.  I've never been taught how to sing or write songs or proper methods so please take that into consideration when and if you listen to my tracks, although I'm sure it will be more than evident.  And if you have any advice for me please feel free to share with me, it is always appreciated. 
thank you for listening! 

Wicked world

The inspiration for this song was from my daughter and the way she just jumped right into a relationship,  although it does seem to be working.  Sorry honey daddy didn't know as much as he thought he did. 

where did i go wrong

LYRICS:

Here we go, Yeaahhh!

  We were the few we were the proud, 
we were the ones who kept our cool in the crowd. 
 We were high on exhilaration, offered no explanation, no iteration, contemplation, we came to rock, Let's rock!

  Rock is what we do and say, the reason we are here today, let's turn it up and break it down flip each other upside down, we're here to rock, here to rock, here to rock, so let's rock! let's rock, rock!

  We rock about the pain, old men talk about the rain, we tried to break the chain, so we don't go we don't go, we don't go insane let's rock, let's rock, yeah let's rock!

  Rock is what we do and say, the reason we are here today, let's turn it up and break it down, turn each other upside down, let's rock, we're here to rock, we're here to rock, here to rock yeah here to rock, here to rock, here to rock!

we are the few, yeah!

Instrumental 

  Rock is what we do and say, the reason we are here today, let's turn it up and break it down, flip each other upside down, we're here to rock, here to rock, here to rock!

Let's rock! (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by  Breaking Copyright Metal)_1

This is the same song as "of a fancy flight" but it's a little bit different, done with a bit more creativity and life, I think anyway...

A flight of fancy_


I love the holidays and they always put me in the best happiest mood! 
But I know there are those that aren't as fortunate and they get very depressed.  I've seen it on here several times when usually upbeat friendly people all of a sudden become mean and hurtful.  Just keep in mind it's not their fault,  S.A.D. is a real thing like any other mental health issue it's been stigmatized.  Growing up my father had it and it made the holidays especially difficult  for a couple boys that didn't know anything about it at the time. Thank God for grandparents.  Anyway after seeing the signs with some members I thought I would write a quick song about it if only to let those that have it know that I understand and so do a lot more people on here and I consider all of you my friends and family so I also want you to know that I am available to talk and after some of the things I've had to overcome in my own life no matter what you say isn't going to shock me because chances are I've been there and if not then either way we can help each other get through whatever it is and no matter how it feels you are not alone,  ever.


LYRICS: 
  You can feel it... Getting closer.... It's almost here
Countdown the days,  it happens every year

They call it S.A.D. you've got it bad and you want everyone to feel
Your pain! 
So you lash out at those that only show you love, 
Words are bullets and your mouth is a gun! 

Holidays can bring cheer!  Or they can bring feelings of despair, 
No matter how you feel,  try to remember,  there's a reason you are here !

  God don't make mistakes,  just look at all the rivers and the lakes.
How they're all connected,  flowing together,  try to remember and never fear, 
There's a reason you are here !

  You may think you're all alone,  you're the only one at home,  
you need to pick up the phone! 
Call a friend or family,  tell them Merry Christmas and 
Your pain will soon be gone. 

S.A.D.

It is amazing how no matter what you've been through in a relationship and how bad you've been damaged,  lost faith in your ability to find the right one.  He or she is out there,  waiting patiently for you to walk by and say hello.  You'll know when you find each other because all of the pain and trepidation you've carried with you will suddenly fall away when you meet them.  Your mouth will know exactly what to say and your heart will flutter and it won't be a medical emergency,  it only means you've finally found them.  

Heart of Stone (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by the absolute best musician  Ryini !!)

Here's a little something different for you to try

Man at night (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by GAXILLIC)

Felt a bit melancholic this late evening or early morning depending if you're a glass half empty or a glass half full kind of person

Life (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Ryini)

You know how sometimes it seems like certain people just win no matter what they do?  They don't have to work hard at anything and they are good at absolutely nothing yet they have everything?  Maybe your family was cursed a long time ago and that feeling you have that makes you think somebody up there is always fucking with you,  making every goal unreachable, every project full of pitfalls and every car you buy a lemon. 
It's a thought. 

Family curse (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Altbeats)

We are the rulers of our skin and bones!  Entrusted with these bodies by the great unknown!  So let's stop messing them up! 

Rulers (Written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Prod by SceneKid)_2

I DO NOT USE AI FOR ANY OF MY TRACKS!!! LYRICS AND VOICE IS 100% MINE!

SINGER/SONGWRITER & TYPE-BEAT ARTIST 

" I FALL PEACEFULLY ASLEEP TO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WHILE THE BULLFROGS AND CRICKETS KEEP EVERYONE ELSE AWAKE,  I FIND MUSIC EVERYWHERE"

Thank you for checking 
out my page.  I am a singer/songwriter and type beat artist who enjoys creating original lyrics and vocals for any genre.  I love the challenge of adapting my lyrics and vocals to an instrumental.  I don't use AI for anything and all of my lyrics come from my imagination or experiences straight to paper and vocals come unfiltered from my vocal chords.  I don't have anything against AI, I believe it can be a useful tool in the music making industry.  I just haven't figured out how it can help me be a better writer and singer without it actually doing the work for me, and I have no interest in that.
 If you have an instrumental track you would like to have vocals added to and you like my style just hit me up for a collaboration and maybe I can put something together for you.  
I've got close to 300 original lyric and vocals songs on here with several different genres for you to check out.  I hope you enjoy my work!
