This new piece is part of a continuing project I've been working on for solo piano called "Heroism is Tragedy". In this part, entitled "Tragedy" I try to capture the frustration, anger, and languishing hope we have all shared this past year, hearing about or directly experiencing the tragedies of this pandemic. I want to dedicate this piece to my amazing wife Genevieve, who has been on the front lines as a paramedic; she and so many others have struggled more than I can ever imagine. I hope I have captured these emotions in the song so we can share in them and heal together with music. Stay safe everyone, we're almost through this!

Heroism is Tragedy

Tragedy

Tribute to Phil Dick. RIP Leon

“Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida. For one thing, the empathic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct; a solitary organism, such as a spider, would have no use for it; in fact it would tend to abort a spider’s ability to survive. It would make him conscious of the desire to live on the part of his prey. Hence all predators, even highly developed mammals such as cats, would starve.”

Jesus Christ I'm sick of this life
Each day the same
But multiplied - I'm sick of this lie
And know that I'm to blame

Had my chance, formed my stance
Felt a tingle in my pants
Oh that girl I should have kissed
But I crapped out and got pissed
And I still have regret
That I've not relinquished yet
And never will

Blinkered sight but I'm sick of this life
And all I stand for
I nearly cried cuz I'm sick of this lie
I should walk out the door

There's this deep chill, I'm frozen still
The worry is making me feel ill
I should have asked, or made a pass
But scared I'd end up on my ass
And yeah I still have regret
That I've not relinquished yet
And never will

Jesus Christ I'm sick of this life

Sick of this Life

This is the first song I ever put on SoundCloud and I just wanted to give it some new life because I believe that every day is an opportunity to get up and be grateful for the life you have and make space for the things that you want in your life :)

My son inspired this song before the pandemic one morning when he did not want to get out of bed and go to school. Now that we have been in lock down for way too long, he is begging to just go back to school in a regular classroom. And so am I. 

But I will show gratitude for what we have. We are safe and healthy and that is something to celebrate :)

Some lyrics

Get off your butt
Stand up
No more room 
For crying tears
Enough is enough
Get off your butt
Stand up
Don't you let life 
Get you down
Enough is enough

Cuz I don't wanna 
Isn't gonna
Work no more
Bring it 
If you know what 
You've been 
Looking For
Life isn't a game
That can be 
Left to chance
If you want something
You've got to make space
And so this dance 

So 

Get off your butt
Get off your butt

Cuz

I don't wanna
Isn't gonna 
Work no more

so 

Get off your butt

Get Off Your Butt

Get Off Your Butt (Remastered)

Holy

Happened Yesterday

Welcome to the Jonny 5 Project music channel!  This project pays homage to a typical 80's childhood inundated with all kinds of robot-themed science fiction,

This project is a simulated experience. You are listening to the Jonny 5 musical robot Serial# A00785, manufactured as a replacement of juke boxes and human disc jockeys. Jonny 5ive plays his music in a dark, smoky, dystopian, shantytown future bar called "Castella" to ease the strain on the minds of the working class. His traveling shows are quite popular in the Dogtown slums and Mechano district.

Bandcamp: coming soon!

Will trade music for promotion. Currently Open for collaborations. Or to buy a commercial music license visit me on https://www.fiverr.com/share/382XBY
