I'm a Jesse fan but I prefer your version of this song. Very nice.

I like your choice going with Jesse, and I like the way you do it even more! Terrific Josh. Durge

Great chorus and hook, a lovely antidote to "people will talk".  Sparkling production with superb guitars and excellent, resonant vocals.

Beautifully created, recorded, and produced, Josh. Love it. Enjoyed.

A truly beautiful song performed beautifully, loved it.

StateOfGrace

I went down  to the corner market
To talk to the local prophet
He said $   12.50 please will that be cash or charge

Went home to my one room kingdom
To drink of the liquid wisdom
And let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

Called in to the Tex Mex Shamen 
He said yea man keep on rocking
So I practice my licks till I feel in my finger tips

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me back
To a State of Grace

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Solo¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

So I search out the online gurus
To yourself they said to be true
The more you know the more that you will grow
And so it goes

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace
To a better place
To a State of Grace

StateOfGrace 3

This original pop ballad relates two people who have been separated and unable to be together for too long. When they are finally reunited it seems too good to be true. There is a tension, trepidation in how to reengage and to open up the deep affection they have for one another. The ukulele drives this one from the start as it brings some old school crooning with the two voices that celebrate this uplifting love song.

Lyrics:
Please, tell me what to do
I just cannot believe 
I’m standing here with you
You're really here with me

And oh, we held off for so long
So fine, the line between right and wrong
And now you fill the air I breathe
Your eyes seem too much to conceive
And I’m just standing here in awe
Tell me should I close the door

And hold you in my arms
Just Like I used to dream
Tear those bridges down
So you might never leave

Now, the face I know so well
The cloud is lifted I can tell
Your smile can finally be revealed
Now we know our love is real
As I close the door behind
Your lips come close to mine

Oh just kiss me till I go
With love I need to know
This time is ours alone
Tomorrow is long gone

Please, tell me what to do
As I’m standing here with you
I just cannot believe 
You're really here with me

Tell me what to do
Please, tell me what to do
I’m so in love with you
Please, tell me what to do

Tell Me What To Do

Wasting Time

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was unless if someone figures it out on their own.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US.
