Song about where you end up when you try and run from your problems. Bluesy fingerpicked acoustic guitar, underlying hip hop drum loop and harmonica. Track 2 from Silverspoon Rebel, the 2012 Five-Song EP from alt pop singer/songwriter Littleton Jones.

My sense of direction is not too good these days
Feels like I'm lost but they keep tellin' me I'm saved
They say I'm diggin' myself a hole and I say "yeah, I know"
It's crowded up here and I'd like to be alone

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own

Rock, stone, and root and bone, too many dead ends
Didn't know this hole would have all these curves and bends
Lookin' back I shoulda dug right through instead of always goin' around
'Cause when I emerged you won't believe what I found

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own

So many years of diggin' now the time had finally come
I poked my head through the earth above and I thought I saw the sun
But the light in my eyes was the flashlight of a prison guard
He said, "Welcome home boy. You didn't get too far." 

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own

My sense of direction is not too good these days

Been Diggin'

Track 5 from Silverspoon Rebel, 2012 Five-Song EP from alt pop singer songwriter Littleton Jones. Bouncy acoustic track with a Jason Mraz feel. Inspired by a lesser known band named Speechwriters LLC.

I rode my bike down to the water gap
with nothin' on my back but my guitar strap
When the sun went down, I turned around
and calculated how many miles back to town
It was forty-five, maybe fifty at most
and twenty-seven hundred to the California coast
So I took a left and headed West, all alone
Called my landlord, said I won't be home for

Forty nights and forty days
I'm following my restless heart
across these plains to a brighter day
Forty nights and forty days
I don't know where I'm goin'
but I know for sure I am on my way

I met a man down in Tennessee
He said I got five minutes but I'll give you three
And it was just enough to tune it up, play my song
Silverspoon Rebel In Search Of A Cause
When I cracked down on the second chord
he looked me in the eye and said I'm already bored
So I shook his hand and said goodbye, Mr. Bo
Thanks for your time but I gots to go cuz

Forty nights and forty days
I'm following my restless heart
across these plains to a brighter day
Forty nights and forty days
I don't know where I'm goin'
but I know for sure I am on my way

Caught an eight pound bass in the Mississippi River
Picked a magnolia down in Baton Rouge
I bought a cowboy hat in Austin but on the road I lost it
It didn't fit me anyway

I met a girl down in Mexico, she said…
I said I don't know
As long as you don't mind
carrying my guitar for...

Silverspoon Rebel

Energetic, guitar-driven alternative pop rock with a country twist. Simple story of a lost soul that will entertain the common man and deeply touch the soul searcher. Track 1 from the 2012 Five-Song EP Silverspoon Rebel.

I think my feet are froze
I've been walkin' for days
out on this cold and lonely road
Nobody will pick me up
I'm headin' out West with my back toward the sun
I see a car comin' so I stick out my thumb 
and I'm screamin'

Hey somebody, hey somebody
Will you pick me up?
'Cause I am down and out
Hey somebody, hey somebody
Will you keep me warm
before the Northwind blows?
And I am dead and gone

I'm sure your mama told
you not to talk to strangers
But may I be so bold
to ask you a simple favor
Hold my hand for a minute or two
Let me pretend that I am you
I'm pleadin'

Hey somebody, hey somebody
Will you pick me up?
'Cause I am down and out
Hey somebody, hey somebody
Will you keep me warm
before the Northwind blows?
And I am dead and gone

Sir I understand, no need to explain
Thank you but I've no need for your change
Money built this road I'm on
A helping hand is all I want

Northwind

Emotional, guitar-driven pop rock with soaring falsetto chorus and acoustic & electric instrumentation. Track 3 from the 2012 Five-Song EP Silverspoon Rebel.

Sigh your relief
For I am gone
Imperfect match
Unwritten song

Search for a sign
Stare at the stars
Restring your thoughts
Bend what you are

Who are you?

So long, so long
Goodbye Savannah
When you wake up I'll be gone
So long

A heart never torn
Skin never burned
Lies never told
No lesson learned

Love never made
Joy never known
Trust never earned
Grace never shown

Who are you?

So long, so long
Goodbye Savannah

I'm dancing on your roof
I'm singing in the rain
I'm following my heart
I'm calling out your name

Goodbye Savannah

Smooth pop rock ballad where R&B and Country meet somewhere in the middle. Guilty pleasure ends in regret. Track 4 from the 5-Song Digital EP Silverspoon Rebel.

The moon shining bright
Temptation by my side
We slip into the night and I am gone

Dark is dangerous
I am oblivious
Consequences, they evade my mind

Strong wind tonight
I'm falling, I'm falling like a leaf
Strong wind tonight, catch me

We enter Central Park
beckoned by the dark
Her skin is cold and I am hot as hell

The nature of my sin
looks like it's gonna win
I think of you but I am powerless

Strong wind tonight
I'm falling, I'm falling like a leaf
Strong wind tonight, catch me

I spy a homeless man watching us
Intoxicated by our shameful lust
And in that moment my heart sees
tonight that man is better off than me

Somewhere deep inside each of our souls is a place of extreme longing… a desire for connection, acceptance, hope, joy, forgiveness, and most of all for love. Los Angeles singer/songwriter Littleton Jones captures these emotions, fills them with melody and rhyme, and delivers them to soul searching fans of alternative pop, classic rock, and folk music. Most engaging is the sense of intimacy in his voice, honesty in his lyrics, and the feeling that his songs are our songs. It's as if he weaved all our life's experiences together with his and gave us a voice to comfort us.
