Ghosts

Jinny Royer - Singer/Songwriter
Steven Quiry (Muzartis, Inc.) - Producer


I'm not sure what to say here
But I've been here before
It's not so much the pain now 
it's the darkness at my core.
Time unwound like ribbons
Scenes played like new
The silence in your falling
The wings with which you flew

In the quiet hours 
my ghosts and I we dance
dancing for memory, 
For memory we dance

A  poet in your heart
A thief when you stole mine
Spinning stories, always stories 
Laughter at the time.
Dreams of love and loss lay
like silk on my skin
They come to me like jasmine  
Drifting in the wind

In the quiet hours 
my ghosts and I we dance
dancing for memory, 
For memory we dance

8 bar break

So let the music rise
And carry me away
Set my spirit free again
free to dance away

In the quiet hours 
my ghosts and I we dance
dancing for memory, 
For memory we dance

Revisionary Blues
I've got the blues now
my clearance was red
my laptop was subpoenaed
and turned over to the feds
your guilt is a given
If they’re looking for drugs
And when I met the task force
they're dressing  like thugs

it's a revisionary era
the church is mating with the state
intolerance is called for
because heaven will not wait

I've paid my dues now
I want to relax
better check out the statutes
on all those unnatural acts
my neighbors are getting nervous
my kids could turn me in
I could be convicted
of first degree sin..

it's a revisionary era
the church is mating with the state
intolerance is called for
because heaven will not wait

the red scare of the fifties
the backlash of today
Pundits know what’s best for me
and how I'll gonna to pay
they'll try to hypnotize me
with slogans and cheap lies
alarming "facts" with no support
just look into their eyes

it's a revisionary era
the church is mating with the state
intolerance is called for
for heaven you can hate

Shadow Dancing

Moon he's shining overhead
Woodsmoke drifting through the air
You can hear the music 
from down the hill
Up here all alone 
the spirits dance the wind it moans
look up see shadows on the wall

You're like darkness and taste  just like light
Your spring water to cool me down and fire to set me right
I found your eyes just as you found me
Set the shadows dancing, 

Night breeze stills and I can feel 
The heat begin to rise
It's tangled words and skin to skin 
Your kisses catch my cries
Fire racing through my viens
The air's too thick to breath
It feels so right being here
Like something from a dream

You're like darkness and taste  just like light
Your spring water to cool me down and fire to set me right
I look to find you eyes just as you found me
Setting shadows dancing

You can hear the music from down the hill
Up here all alone 
the spirits dance the wind it moans
Look up see
shadows on the wall

You're like the darkness and taste  just like light
Your spring water to cool me down and fire to set me right
I found your eyes just as you found me
Set the shadows dancing

Rainy Day

On a night with no moon in the desert of the soul, the backroom diplomats will seize control. The wealth of thier fathers and the power of their mothers, they will be the evil that is feared by others.

02 The Boyz in the Beltway

Here is "Thinking of You" by Pets Gone Wild, Danna Massie, Rick Kleffel and myself, jamming live at  the Woodstockhausen Festival in the Santa Cruz Mountains on a beautiful starry evening under the redwoods.

Thinking of you live

Drunk On Magic

The Promise

This is my latest recording of Summertime with background vocals by my friend Helen Sventitsky. While once a native of the San Francisco Bay Area Helen now lives in Munich Germany so we worked remotely on this tune. Don't ya just love the internet!

Summertime

We may be locked in but don’t let it lock you down. Here is a new piece of music, Looking Forward, that I’ve been working on today and I thought I’d share it with you. I hope it brings you comfort. 💕

Looking Forward

I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I've enjoyed creating them.
Thanks,
Jinny Royer
