Different moods, highs and lows are always prevalent. But at some point it is time to reflect and come to rest and to be able to think about everything. These reflective and thougthful moments are important from time to time and give back positive energy.

Life is rough, and your mind is busy with plans how to make it through the next day. Could you ever stop having the blues? Even as a musician? While jamming a boogie on piano, the phrase stuck in my head and I liked its ambiguity. I am overwhelmed how many people from all over the world joined the session and created an awesome rock'n'roll song. Everybody added their bit and we are very proud of the result. Thank you so much!

==== LYRICS ====
I’ve got not time to relax
no time for fun
Time is staring at me
down the barrel of its gun

No time to tie laces,
I’ve got slip on shoes
And worst of all
I’ve got no time for blues

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

I got letters to send
I got bills to pay
I have less time to myself
Every single day
I work so many hours
It's a wonder I don't drop
I don't know if these demands
Are ever gonna stop

All of my friends
are in the same boat
Doesn't seem to matter
Who gets your vote
We're working for peanuts
We can't make ends meet
if things don't look up soon
We'll be out on the street

Look at that guy
In his fancy car
He has no idea
How hard things are
When you're working for a wage
But sinking deeper into debt
When I think of the future
I break out in a cold sweat

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

Lyrics:

Here comes the night to dim out the light
Burn the candle light until the morning comes
Things will be great if we can wait
Till then I sing this song
And hope it won’t be long

The candle flickers bright, giving us sight
As far as we can see, there’s stillness in the night
Another day has passed, wash away at last
The things that I’ve done wrong
And you know I’ve been wrong

So play guitar and pluck the strings
Forget all the wicked things
I don’t need to be angry anymore

The wind between the hills, giving me chills
The frost will be melted by the morning light
What’s lost we lament in holy sacrament
The distant sun will rise
And shine into our eyes

The morning dew will form, a new day is born
The birth of the light is beginning now
The birds they will sing, the sun beams killing
The darkness of the night
Today I’ll make things right

So forgive all your evil deeds
Sew the ground with your new seeds
I don’t need to be angry anymore

I Don't Need To Be Angry (Anymore)

Written and recorded before breakfast. I  later re-did backing though and used subscription to re-upload 

Please let me let you down
I'm just a clown
My mind isn't sound 
It's known around town
Could you let me let you down?
Do let me lay about 
I've never been stout 
In my struggle with doubt 
Until I get gout
Please let me lay about 
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Embrace love
Would you let me let you lie?
Let your heart calcify 
I couldn't let myself comply 
Quite brave for a wise guy 
Would you let me let you lie?
Never could let you let me down
With words and deeds that confound
So let's wear a long gown 
And watch the sun going down 
Never never never let me let you down
Never let me let you down

Never Let Me Let You Down

The fourth "summer night monologue". It has become winter and it is not a solo guitar, so I treated this alone. I made it based on Eagles version, but triplets have been changed to triple time. I raised the key a little, and the tempo is made late.
People who like the Beatles will remember "Oh! Darling" when listening to this song.listen to the version of BB King and the version of Eagles, and further listen to the Beatles'Oh! Darling, so that the flow of the song is completely impregnated into the body :))

JUNZO --- Please Come Home For Christmas (cover)--*WINTER 2018/2019*

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.
