Leave with a heartache
Come for the show
She gives no pardons
Boy this girl’s cold
She does it better
Please waste my time
She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby, Baby

She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby
She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby, Baby

It hurts so good
But don’t feel bad
Pain is love
And love is sad
We’ll be together
In due time
She’s my Baby, 
Miss my Baby, Baby

She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby
She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby, Baby

She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby
She’s my Baby
Miss my Baby

Miss My Baby

Lyrics:

I just woke up
Now I’m falling asleep
I’ll never come out 
From this peace and alone

(Cookie)

It’s simply a dream
To stay, won’t go

I don’t care
Won’t get of my bed
No one can tell me a thing
Until I’m dead

I hide away
Never to be seen
People will say
How recluse and forlorn 

It’s simply a dream
To stay, won’t go

I don’t care
Won’t get of my bed
No one can tell me a thing
Until I’m dead

How To Cope

"Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts, did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it. And these does she apply for warnings and portents and evils imminent, and on her knee hath begged that I will stay at home today." Caesar did not stay home and later that morning was assassinated. 80 Summers is inspired by the dreams of Calpurnia, Procula, and other virtuous women...

"80 Summers" single for February 16, 2024
From album "The Charm" (2024)
Written and performed by John Roseboro
Engineering and co-production by Luke Jr
Recorded at home in Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY.

Tenor Saxophone by Daniel Robinson

Lyrics:
Ever-changing and revealing itself 
In every maiden lay a prophetess 
The dark and comely wisdom of a queen
Like a moonbow in a new sundress yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Marry Mary Magdalene 
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll

Holy vision given woman 
Dreaming dreams and I believe them

Eighty summers in your natural born life
Countless lovers, but you only get one wife
And when your sun sets, whether good or bad
Did you love her, did you do your best yes

Take my breath, take my last name
Calpernia saw it in a dream
Bone of my bone
Body make your eyes roll
Jump my bones
I'll make your eyes roll

80 Summers

Fools is a watershed event in the genesis of post-bossa. The record subverts traditional concepts of what “alternative” music is, disposing of tired chord progressions, kitschy themes, and larping emo aesthetics. The compositions here show what music can be and do when it does not pander to an audience, allowing Roseboro unprecedented freedom to weave poems of grief, girls, and God over melodies indifferent to what the genre might seem to be. The result is visceral, vulnerable, and most of all, true. 

 Roseboro’s most collaborative work to date, Fools hosts personnel from Brooklyn’s most talented friend group: most consistently, neighbors Luke Jr and Yamp, performing on and co-producing nearly every track with Reid Devereaux contributing horns, bass, and slide guitar. The four musicians had already headlined tours together the previous year, performing at SXSW, Montreal Jazz Festival and supporting dear Ron Gallo who has been championing John for over two years, often to deaf ears... John would go on to arrange and perform Ron’s “Psycho Moment” for the album. Other featured artists include fan favorites and familiar faces: Liam McMcay (sign crushes motorist), Mei Semones, John Lisi (Twin Brother), Juliana Chahayed, and Liana Flores. 

Just a few years ago, there was no John Roseboro. After a bad relationship and a worse break up, John was virtually homeless, penniless, and anonymous. Maintaining faith has brought him everything and this is echoed in interviews and throughout his discography. Independently managing, funding, and distributing his work John has to say “I am gambling on the integrity of my relationships and the impact of these songs… thank you for holding my hand.”
