A synth-driven testament to high school, clubbing, and all the places where lust,  insecurity, and darkness flourish.

Lyrics:

Welcome to my paradise
Where nothing escapes, not even light
When beggars die, there are no comets seen 
Just shopping carts full of forgotten dreams

When I was alive, I was always on the run
Never knew where I was going or what I was running from 
But now that I’m gone, I feel safe, I feel calm
It’s here in the darkness I finally belong
I’m the king of the void, I’m the lord of the black
I’m the lover of nothing and nothing loves me back
But there’s times when I laugh ‘cause I feel so alone
Just waiting on the first bus to come take me home

Welcome to my haunted house
If we make it till morning, I’ll let you out
The mayor of chaos and broken hearts
Still lives with his parents, still afraid of the dark

Never been a prom king, never been a drama queen
Never been, ever been much of anything
You make me feel like an astronaut in outer space
I want to spend the night orbiting around your place
And your legs and your arms and your fingers and your toes 
And wherever you tell my spaceship to go
Just don’t send me away to the void, to the black 
I’m afraid next time I won’t find my way back.

Tales of Heartbreak and Destruction

Nothing Escapes Not Even Light

“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.
