High Line

Written and mostly recorded in a single day late last year, this song almost fell foul of the very defeatism that it is supposed to eschew... granted, the main reason for the length of the delay was beyond my control, but this recording is pretty much as it was the day the song was written. As such, there's plenty of rough edges and bum notes, but in an effort to retain the spontaneity of the original session I've left most of it as is. Hope you like it anyway!

Lyrics:

How much is too much?
How much is not enough?
How late is too late?
How soon is soon enough?

Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up...
I've come to far to give up

Too soon for the end
Too late to start again
So hard to make a change
No way to stay the same

Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Gotta wake up
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up...
I've come too far to give up

I've Come Too Far To Give Up

IN THE RAIN (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2020 / Remixed/fixed Aug 2023)

In the rain, our arms wide to you.
In the rain, you save our souls, yes you do. 

...and the rain, it's a time for me to say 'I love you'.
with the ring, with a kiss.  My love, I hope it'll do.

Mesmerizing pitter-patter;
scent of a fresh storm; 
Delicious seeing water dripping down your form.
A cool drink from the clouds, 
nothing makes a person live their life more fully,  
like knowing how fleeting it can be. 

Break.

In the rain.
Feeling you splashing down from the heavens. 
In the rain, 
you make the clouds go away.
Kids can dance in the puddles made by you.
In the rain,
we know you are true.

Water droplets on my girlfriends lips, 
entices me to kiss them.
Wet leaves falling from trees, so precious...
...a clap of thunder after a funeral procession,
says that they'll go to heaven.

In the rain,
on a tin roof; window pane.
Hold my hand, love a rainy day.
as the drops come down so free.

In the rain...

Reworking of a track originally entitled 'A Prayer for New Orleans' recorded following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
[6 Tenor saxophone tracks - played on my 1925 Conn 'New Wonder']

Mausoleum Eggs

ICE FROM THE SKY

2020 janine levinson

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

It's dry! so dry! said the ground to the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be flowing where I have flourished
And yet it's terribly dry

Withering and shrinking; waiting for a drink
A sprout or two will rise -- but never climb to the sky

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
in my little piece of paradise
I should feel warm and be contented
and yet, tears in my eyes

Muttering and sinking; watching for a cloud
A spout or two will rise -- but never a drop from the sky

A quake could shake the ground 
And if a tear were to hit it right
It would split with an awful sound
And day would turn to night

The sky could fall --be upside down
The clouds my bed  -- the stars my ground
The heavens pour and burn my toes
Ice will fly.  Still nothing grows.

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

Ice From The Sky

Take a special time to listen to this track / listen loud enough ! / please enJoy !

Find alternatives to Soundcloud for your music.  If you don't get much response to your music, don't give up.  Soundcloud doesn't have respect for musicians, it's all about profit.  Saddens me.  It used to be different.  [Jul282025] Slowly working on the next album - Dreaming of Better.  I use SC because it's a good platform to organize my songs and prep for the next release to streaming sites.

The name JunkHeap came from creating song ideas and leaving them for later, and then picking through the junk heap of ideas to enhance a new song idea.  Explore my discography, find something you like.  

All of my albums on Soundcloud have been reduced to a sampling of a few songs.  The complete albums are available on all streaming sites.

JunkHeap is a solo, alternative rock music project.  Unapologetic, thought-provoking, emotionally raw music for the masses...

It's about you, the listeners.  I hope you get something out of my songs.  The lyrics are in the song name link.
