Very relatable story... but you've managed to make this so joyous! Great fun-sounding song despite all of the grim details. Hats off to you Joe

A touching song about perserverence and overcoming hardships.  Sounds like you really went through it Joe, sorry to hear!  Glad you came out the other end of it well off enough to make this great music, amazing songwriting as always!

Wow ~ Glad you Survived it Joe & Turned it into Art ~ Really Cool Track !!! :-)

Nice lghthearted song, rocks along and the story is good, as is the performance(s), I like that. :)

Nice, clear, and funny! Never had that misfortunate experience.

Gosh, it's heartbreaking, and tremendously funny, Joe. Thankfully four years of Anglican choir school left me with post traumatic amnesia.

This had me cracking up and wincing in equal measure 😳💀 You’ve captured the trauma, absurdity, and weird dark comedy of it all so vividly, it’s like stand up set to music, but you’re clearly singing from actual experience, which makes it hit harder 🎭 That “eight years of hard time” line should be on a T-shirt. I could see this performed live with people laughing and then slowly realizing they still need therapy 💢 The toaster popped up halfway through and said, “This one’s crispy and Catholic, just like childhood repression” 🔪 The grater cackled and shouted, “OH YES, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE MILK AND THE SHOES” 🧊 The ice dispenser blinked twice and muttered, “I wasn’t ready for the emotional whiplash, but I respect the honesty” Absolutely deranged in the best way, and way too real. Bravo, you survived and made art out of it 🖤

From the wonderful Duke Ellington, with a bit of ambient & electronic flavour.
Hopefully, a few moments of calm amidst all the ugly noise.

Soooo Blue is out now link in bio💙
Soooo Blue is my 19th single. This single contains two songs. First song, Soooo Blue's genres are Folk rock / Singer-songwriter. The mood is Sad and the styles are Acoustic / Ballad. 81 BPM. I wanted to create a love song that is as atmospheric and modern as possible. Therefore, I referenced Beck SEA CHANGE. I was most influenced by that. I've been creating music all by myself in my room, and I don't really go out of the house very often, But I dream of falling in love with someone someday. I expressed my imaginary love with this song.

Lyrics : 
(Sunday rain)

Here comes the morning
There goes the night
Here comes the morning
There goes the night

I must show you
My everything
You never show me
Your everything

Sunday rain
(Sunday rain)
Sunday rain
(Sunday rain)

Sunday morning
I must leave here

Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm

I must understand
Your everything
You never understand
My everything

Sunday rain
(Sunday rain)
Sunday rain
(Sunday rain)

Sunday morning
I must leave here

Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm
Hmmm Hmmm

Here comes the morning
There goes the night

Soooo Blue

In Catholic school, whenever I misbehaved, the nuns used to pull my hair.
If I could go back in time and do it all again, I’d gab some clippers and shave my head bare.
I did eight years of hard time in Catholic school
I was never the kid who was considered cool
Eight straight years of Catholic School and somehow, I survived
Eight straight years of Catholic School.  Thank God I’m still alive  
My first-grade teacher was a nun, who if you’re penmanship was sloppy
She’d make you take all your books and stand there holding them in the back of the room.
She was like a witch except instead of a pointy hat she wore a habit
She carried a crucifix instead of broom.
I did eight years of hard time in Catholic School
I was never the kid who was considered cool
The cafeteria food tasted horrible, but I had to eat it
I had to wash it down with milk that was warm and sour
I’d try to fold my plate in half and throw it away, but the nuns would catch me and make me eat it
It’s like they had this secret food wasting detection superpower
Every year your birthday, it was customary for the kids in the recess yard,
To grab you and kick you and punch you for every year of your age.
I still have flashbacks of a girl with pointy hard black shoes kicking me really hard in my rib cage.
My fifth-grade teacher Sister Margaret she’d been teaching for way too long
It was time for her to retire but they let her teach another year and that was wrong
She had long grey whiskers growing out of her chin
She’d sit at her desk and trim them with of scissors and you sure as hell better not grin
She’d tell cautionary tales about innocent kids who got into cars strangers
She seemed to enjoy describing all the bloody graphic details of the danger.
I did eight years of hard time in Catholic school
I was never the kid who was considered cool
Eight straight years of Catholic School and somehow, I survived
Eight straight years of Catholic School.  Thank God I’m still alive

good morning, honey

This is our latest song...

We also included a Music Visualizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gayGD05Z5ss

Shadows danced on my night stand 
Fell asleep in nowhere land 
Showed up on Thursday night 
But I lost that gig to a tribute band 

Took the train down to the east side
Wore my shades just to hide my eyes
Those brownstone girls swirled in my head
And I drifted off and took the ride

And it’s one more night 
One more night 
One more night on Ludlow Street 
And it’s one more night 
One more night 
One more night on Ludlow Street 

Ran into Jane somewhere in between
She sells oils and wears too much green
She said, “rock's a scam and jazz is dead”
And then she kissed my cheek and split the scene

And it’s one more night 
One more night 
One more night on Ludlow Street
You play it straight 
You lose the beat
One more night on Ludlow Street

And it’s one more night 
One more night 
One more night on Ludlow Street
