Because I'm in quarantine like the rest of the world, I've decided to challenge myself to record and release a new song every week until this crisis is over. Several of these songs are inspired by life in Los Angeles, while others are about events shaping the world today. If you enjoy the songs, please consider making a donation at paypal.me/joshbloomberg.

North of the Boulevard

Insane

North Of The Boulevard

Written, recorded, and performed by Joshua Path

Baby I’ve been in love with you
Been in love for a long, long time
I know you don’t feel the same for me
But I’m hoping you change your mind

I know you don’t like the way I look
I got a face made for radio
So when I’m over you can keep one eye closed
When we kiss, turn the lights down low

Just so you know
I wanna be your man.

Baby I’ve been in love with you
Since way back in the seventh grade
When you dressed up like Wonder Woman
For the Halloween parade

You used to take all my money from me
You were nothing but a bully then
If you let me take you out tonight
Well baby that would be sweet revenge

So let me tell you again
I wanna be your man

Baby I’ve been in love with you
But I don’t wanna come on too strong
I don’t wanna take any chances
After so many have done you wrong

If you want why don’t write it all down
Expectations and demands, that’s fine
Ain’t got no need for no negotiations
I’ll just sign on the dotted line

I’ll tell you one more time
I wanna be your man.

I Wanna Be Your Man

Lyrics:
Do you want to be alone? 
Well maybe I don’t 
Should I leave you alone? 
Well maybe I won’t

Am I being rude?
Should I be more polite? 
Am I killing the mood? 
Should I kill all the lights?
Well...

Oh my love
I’m not afraid of the dark

Seems like the world went and lost its mind 
Ain’t no big deal, I do it all the time
Seems like heaven is abandoned and cursed 
Seems like hell has sent back all of its worst
Well...

Oh my love
I’m not afraid of the dark 
Oh my love
But I know that you are.

Tales of Heartbreak and Destruction

I'm Not Afraid Of The Dark

Called my congressman 
But he don’t give a shit about the little people anymore 
Called the sheriff up 
But he don’t wanna talk
All he wants to do is break down my door 
Called the FBI 
But they couldn’t figure out 
Exactly who they were working for 
Called my brother up 
But he couldn't reach the phone 
The police had got him pinned to the floor

I’m going out tonight 
And I’m getting lost in America once again 
I’m going out tonight 
And I’d say I’d find my way home 
But I don’t think I can even pretend

Called the president 
But he never a shit about the working class or the poor 
Called my doctor up 
But they threw her in jail 
For treating women who were taken by force 
Called the hospital 
But it's overwhelmed with children 
'Cause now every school's a fucking war 
Called the Kremlin up 
And they said, it's ok
We've got everything under control

I’m going out tonight 
And I’m getting lost in America once again 
I’m going out tonight 
And I’d say I’d find my way home 
But I don’t think I can even pretend.

Lost In America

“Early Beatles, couched in a sound similar to the Goo Goo Dolls, along with intelligent and creative storytelling not unlike Bob Dylan” is how Music Connection Magazine describes Joshua Path’s music. You can judge for yourself by listening to his latest tracks from his upcoming album, Between Heaven and Jonestown.

Path began writing songs when he was in junior high school. But it wasn’t until he landed a gig as a camp song leader that he took his craft seriously. “I heard my songs being sung by the kids around camp,” recalls Path. “That’s when I realized I should give music a shot.”

After that pivotal summer, Path immediately formed a band and began recording demos, all the while polishing his live sound by performing in all the major clubs in the Los Angeles area. His standing-room-only shows landed him a guest spot on KROQ’s Loveline, along with punk rockers Bad Religion. “I had to be the most outrageous, since no one knew who the hell I was,” Path says.

Didn’t stay that way for long. His CDs garnered heaps of praise from the public as well as critics. “Path seems radio ready. And that’s meant in the most complimentary way possible,” said Splendid Magazine. Indie Music Magazine wrote, “Path manages to incorporate all the best elements of American pop music of the last three decades while simultaneously infusing it with his own deeply soulful, yet irreverent, style.”

Between Heaven and Jonestown is set to drop sometime in 2011.
