"Hidden" is Jim Marcotte's second official music release. His first album, "Own It" released in 2015, captured songs Jim had been writing spanning 35 years of his life. "Hidden" features a set of five new songs written in the last three years and is uniquely Pacific Northwest flavored. Along with his producer, Kelley Kenison, Jim has managed to present a set of songs that are of different genres but still encompass his sound. Exceptionally played and recorded in West Seattle, "Hidden" takes you on a short musical and lyrical journey that will transport you to Seattle and beyond.

BOOKMARK 3_2020

V1.In the time of the great unknown 
reaping the seeds we had sown 
from a virus that was airborn 
and spreading 

Our business's got shutdown 
as did most of our towns 
we were told to stay at home 
it was lockdown 

C:
And while the situation looked dire 
the people did aquire 
a renewed passion for helping others 

And the earth started to heal 
during this new deal 
pollution lessened in the air 
and the oceans 

V2.We turned to our goverment 
whose money was well spent 
on bailout of Wall Street 
and the rich 

The people were in desperate need 
of some help from those who love greed 
while they sat in thier golden towers 
and argued 

C:
And while the situation looked dire 
the people did aquire 
a renewed passion for helping others 

And the earth started to heal 
during this new deal
pollution reduced in the air 
and the oceans  


Bridge: Seems like a crisis like this 
may be a lesson on how we exist 
by reducing our carbon footprint
and excess 

Seems like a crisis like this 
may be a lesson on how we exist 
by reminding ourselves love is existence  


Out
In the time of the great unknown 
reaping the seeds we had sown 
hopefully we have all grown 
to love one another

Working Demo of a song I put together featuring the lyrics of Traci Wilson. This song is about having compassion for all beings on earth and choosing a healthier lifestyle.

--- A Better You ---- Lyrics - Traci Wilson 

It's time to think of others
Less fortunate than you
Out of crisis comes some wisdom
And a searching for the truth

Will you run
Will you hide
Will you go right back to what you've always done?

Or will you grow
Will you shine
Will you use this time you've gone through to be better?
To be better

A better you

Better you

What difference can we all make
What's one thing we can do
What big step can we all take
to make our world brand new

Eating food
Food for health
Food that doesn't cause a life to end forever

Make that change
It feels good
Food that raises world vibrations for the better
The better

A better you
A healthier you
A kinder you
A happier you

A better you 
Helps others
Be kind 
When they notice how you shine
We'll spread it through the world
Til our message is unfurled
Let animals live on
Save oceans from being gone
Just help me sing this song
