When I Need You .  Cover of a song by Leo Sayer  (Remixed July 2023)

Lost Ghost

Lonely Nights

This evocative and darkly imaginative song, penned by Tommy Zygote—the visionary founder of Thrashing Zombies and a time traveler who once resided in a peculiar dimension where Earth mirrored twisted nursery rhymes such as Jack and Jill, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and The Three Little Pigs—reinterprets the classic fairy tale with a sinister and gritty edge. The narrative plunges listeners into a shadowy realm where the three little pigs, each building their homes from straw, wood, and brick, believe they are safe from danger, only to face a cunning, ravenous wolf with a hunger that transcends mere survival, craving instead a macabre feast. Throughout the song, vivid imagery paints the pigs’ doomed fates as the wolf methodically dismantles their defenses with calculated brutality, turning their innocent abodes into battleground scenes of destruction and despair. The wolf’s relentless pursuit and ultimate victory culminate in a visceral, haunting depiction of the pigs’ transformation from fairy tale characters into dark culinary victims, forever entwined in a sinister BLT sandwich metaphor that symbolizes the erasure of innocence and the dominance of predatory cunning. Tommy Zygote’s songwriting crafts a chilling atmosphere fitting for his background as a dimensional traveler familiar with warped reflections of childhood stories, infusing the song with a layered complexity that merges nursery rhyme familiarity with a heavy, aggressive tone reminiscent of biker hard rock and metal aesthetics. The lyrics’ cadence evokes the tension of an ancient cautionary tale while the dense symbolism challenges listeners to reconsider the underlying violence in familiar stories, all amplified by vivid portrayals of fear, struggle, and the inevitability of the wolf’s dark triumph. This piece not only reimagines a beloved nursery rhyme with nightmarish flair but also stands as a testament to Tommy Zygote’s unique artistic vision, bridging the realms of myth, metal, and dimension-spanning folklore, creating a hauntingly memorable and intense musical experience that resonates deeply with fans of gritty storytelling, hard-hitting instrumentation, and evocative lyrical content.

Lyrics

Then the lightning came,
Struck a hole in me.
‘Found a new plane charging my energy
Now I want to navigate by magnetic field,
Laterally, another line for me.

Weed wise we can rise
With belief we fortify the prize
The purist thoughts in mind,
It’s  man learning to be the god kind

Now won’t fight you anymore,
All deity’s dead this is your war
Its my heart that says so
But does the mind agree with it all?

So what we to say?
What’s the chant?
New existential lament!
For free thinking spreading.

Oh what we to say?
Whats the chant      
In life weed lament
Freed thinking spreading

This train is coming for you.
This train is coming it’s for you
This train is coming Choo! Choo!
This train is coming for you.

This train is coming for you
This train is coming it’s for you
This train is coming Choo! Choo!
This train is coming it’s for you.

This train is coming for you
This train is coming it’s for you
This train is coming Choo! Choo!
This train is coming it’s for you.

This train is coming for you
This train is coming….
I want proof…
This train is coming for you
This train is coming it’s the truth

Hey good lookin’!

@JTSunrise was born in Chicago, IL (the City of Blues) in 1968. JT grew up on a rural horse farm at Cuba Township near Fox River Grove, along the C&NW tracks, about an hour by train outside the city. Summer nights before the internet were for sleeping outside and watching stars, singing and playing guitar to his girlfriends, and hitching trains from his backyard. Anywhere JT went, he had his acoustic guitar slung around his back. JT also learned bass and banjo, and started a folk band in high school, playing house parties and school concerts and busking the commuter train station in Barrington, IL.

His teenage years took him around the world and to Tempe, AZ in 1987, (age 19) where he lived in the same building (and jammed often) with Spiral Stairs, a seminal guitarist who would later form the band Pavement. JT played acoustic sets at the legendary Sun Club. During this time, Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms (JT’s record store clerk friend) did his sound.

Seattle Music Era

Arriving in Seattle in 1992 with his Tempe barista girlfriend PJ (now wife), JT immersed himself in a city alive with music innovation. This was to become known as a time when Seattle bands reshaped the musical landscape. Amidst the scene, JTSunrise carved a niche and performed shows, blending busking music with the amplified Seattle sound, his Tempe-styled lyrical command, and the soul of Chicago street blues.

His performances became the background of Seattle’s music venues, from the intimate setting of **Art Bar** to the historic **OK Hotel**, where grunge legends made history. He captivated audiences at **Sit & Spin**, a venue combining a laundromat with a bar and live music, and found a true home at the **Lake Union Pub**, a legendary punk dive bar that embraced him as their own. Each chord, each lyric, carried the weight of personal experience.

Musical Influences and Style

JTSunrise draws from icons like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Billy Bragg, alongside bands he admired in Tempe such as Gin Blossoms and Dead Hot Workshop. The bands at the Sun Club and Long Wongs in Tempe, AZ shaped his sound and approach. These influences, coupled with the music scene in 1990s Seattle (including Elise Sauer, Obe-Wan Kenobe, and everyone to ever perform at the Lake Union Pub), molded his blend of folk, punk, country blues, and acoustic pop.

Signature Songs and Contributions

Among his many contributions to the musical landscape, a few songs stand out:
- **"Saint James Infirmary"**: A haunting rendition of the classic ballad.
- **"Biscuit Roller Blues"**: A soulful, gritty track that showcases blues roots.
- **"Kevin Song"**: A heartfelt, melodic piece that resonates deeply with listeners.
- **"Cure For Pain"**: A Morphine song that explores themes of struggle and redemption.
- **"Mama Tried"**: A tribute to Merle Haggard, blending acoustic blues with heartfelt emotion.
- **"O Danny Boy"**: A timeless ballad, rendered with sincerity and grace.
- **"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"**: A fusion of folk and rock.

Prolific Output

JTSunrise has a substantial discography on SoundCloud, with over 200 tracks available. This includes a mix of original songs, raw covers, and collaborations with other artists. His music spans genres like folk, bluegrass and country blues, cowboy country, and 90s acoustic rock, reflecting his diverse influences.

Commitment to Seattle’s Artistic Community

JTSunrise’s influence extends beyond music. His commitment to authentic Seattle art is evident in his participation and support of local artists and musicians. As of 2024 he remains a licensed Pike Place Market busker, a role that allows him to share handmade music directly with the community any time, creating intimate, memorable experiences for locals and visitors.

Thanks everyone for support!
