One soul, soul for sale, it's going cheap at only seven guineas...that or there about.

Been good
Been bad
Gave all 
I had
I've cared
I've sinned
Let go
Caved in

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

Escape
Repent
I prayed
I begged
No heaven
No hell
No demons
Or angels

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

I called to darkness
I cried to light
I gave my life
Made my sacrifice
You'll find me naked
Just digging my hole
Singing

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

God Nor The Devil

It's All The Same To Me

"Northwest Passage" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers in 1981. The song is a tribute to the explorers who sought the legendary Northwest Passage, a sea route through the Arctic connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

The history of the song "Northwest Passage" is rooted in the exploration of the North American continent, and the search for a navigable water route to the Pacific. Many early explorers, including John Cabot, Henry Hudson, and Sir Francis Drake, searched for the passage but were unsuccessful. It was not until the mid-19th century that a successful passage was completed by Roald Amundsen

The song "Northwest Passage" has become a cultural touchstone for Canadians and Americans alike, symbolizing the spirit of exploration and the desire to push the boundaries of human knowledge and achievement. The song has been covered by numerous artists, and is often played at cultural events and festivals throughout Canada and the United States

In modern American culture, the spirit of exploration and adventure embodied by "Northwest Passage" is still celebrated. From the exploration of space to the search for new frontiers in science and technology, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and achievement regardless of the consequences. The song serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and the role that it plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us

While "Northwest Passage" is primarily a song about exploration and the human desire to discover new frontiers, it also touches on themes of inequality and perseverance. Through the lyrics, singer-songwriter Stan Rogers paints a picture of the struggles faced by early explorers, who braved treacherous conditions and uncertain outcomes in their quest for the Northwest Passage

One of the key themes of the song is inequality, both in terms of social class and access to resources. The first verse describes the plight of the working-class sailor, who is forced to risk his life in the dangerous waters of the Arctic for little pay or recognition. This verse highlights the inequities faced by many people in society, who are often forced to undertake difficult and dangerous work in order to survive

Despite these challenges, the song emphasizes the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The chorus of the song expresses the hope that one day, the Northwest Passage will be found, and that the efforts of those who came before will not have been in vain. This message of hope and resilience is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and our ability to overcome obstacles and achieve great things

Overall, "Northwest Passage" is a song that celebrates the human desire to explore and discover, while also acknowledging the challenges and inequalities that exist in society. It is a testament to the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit

Northwest Passage (Mono e Mono)

Journey Through Your Mind

Sometimes with humans, when things get tough you might feel like nothing will get you out of the darkness. A little reminder here (including to myself) to keep the light inside of you shining as you have a place in this world. No one can ever undermine that. 

In this collaboration we exchanged ideas back and forth and I absolutely loved the backing track Morten sent me! So I came up with some lyrics and sang them pretty spontaneously.

Somos De La Raza Humana

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que vez
tu y yo fuimos hechos
a la misma vez

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

We Are Of The Human Race

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
we are something
you don't comprehend

We all go together
to some place
a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I were made
at the same time

Where will we look?
where will we find?
tell me where're you're going
don't let me wait

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I are
at the same time

We are of the human race
we are of the same skin
we are of the human race
which doesn't have color
it only has flavor

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

@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!
