AB Playlist 094 Part 1

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Just a boy (ft. Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick)

I deleted this one earlier this year for whatever reason. But It's here to stay now.

Well it's a dud, caught in the middle of I know you should
You said you would, not counting stitches at the end of it
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood
--------------------------------------------------------
Well, in a nutshell, you're everything I thought you were
And standing sun, toss it in and let it burn
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood

Garden Of A Thousand Candles

In the garden of a thousand candles
Dreams awake you
Silently stare at the walls
Gold adorns you
Fantastical colours
Dreams await you
Lead where you dare

In a little field beyond Granton Meadows
There's a spot of heaven under yonder tree
Step aboard my time machine 
The future looks a silent Spring
Listen to the spirits come walk with me

Look around there were trees there were fields
Seems so serene beyond finite ideals
What happened to the simplest of times?
Blood, fire and steel
The old ways die
The old ways die

In the garden of a thousand candles
Dreams await you
Silently stare at the walls
Gold adorns you
Fantastical colors
Dreams awake you 
Lead where you dare

Over and over dreams falling over
Over and over lead where you dare

Towards The Invisible

recorded on June 3rd, 2024, in the morning,
in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal)

I will probably come back to clean it up, levels, parts to remove if any, etc.  When I do I will keep the same file name but will remove the "Raw" part.

Unfortunately the truck had left by the time I came back to take the picture,
so don't go scrutinizing the photo looking for it, it's not there, lol.

Siphon Truck at the Stadium - 1 (Raw)

A very sombre song with a backing to match. This is the fifth song from a  collaborative project, all instruments by my collaborator who records in his home studio, mixes and masters the finished track. I bring my song to the project and complete the track with the vocal.
This is worth hearing with headphones or external speaker to enjoy the full benefit of the bass tones from the lead guitar.

Find happiness in the littleness

Lyrics: Autumn
vocals/guitars: Wendy
Guitars/harmony: Autumn
Synth/Bass machines/Drum machines/kit: todd
Image: selfie of the band posing next to a pretty lake with ducks

Chase happiness 			
Kindness 				
Happy kindness 			
Kind Happiness			
Hold bunnies 				

Share your blue aura 
get smile points 
wear platforms 
be tall for fun

get the side out!

My own little squad of robots 
Joy 

I’ve been holding on
Too long
To a losing dream
That I will be adored 
Right? By everyone?

I do my best
Why don’t they love me?

Said my jeans fit really good 
Say my jeans hit
I would be so much fun if I was 
Rich, and good looking
And making … KILLS
Side out

Winning IS better
Side Out
80’s headband, wavy hair

I watched every episode of 
my life 
With the Walter boys

Happy now?

Confession:
I love being on the volleyball team
But I suck
I’m worthless

there have been 
some not joy filled moments 
when I had unkind thoughts

Wendy: Guitar Lament

Chorus:
Be kind, be happy
There’s no reward
Work hard, then die
(You’ll cry)
We only want you here so we can win again

Autumn: solo 

try to be kind
try not to cry
try to be kind
If they would be kind
To me
Could I actually be
Happy?
Find happiness in the littleness

Written in the tortilla chip aisle at Costco.
Wearing ridiculously tiny shorts. Wtf is wrong with everybody?

Find happiness in the Littleness

Find happiness In The Littleness

Trav-ah-lynn Blues

I'm on this mountain, 
Just trying to get off 
I got me twenty more lengths left,
But I feel I'm getting soft
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I got many miles of road ahead, 
N' I'm behind my time, me 
I'd like to be at the end of it all, 
But I simply can't break free
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I'm on this cloud,
Spiralling out of control
I'd pull the cord,
B’daren’t before sugaring the bowl
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

My cigarette dangles,
I'm out of my tree
I got sand in my eyes, n’soon t’b 
Swept into this crushing sea
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

If be true, trying kill my fucking thoughts, kill fucking broke
But all day lying, that fuck feelings, I can’t feel no more

[Chorus: Codeine Kiss]
Tell me, who wanna smoke?

And I flying near dead body
Who wanna smoke?
I got a lot of buds in party
And swerve
And I swerve in Maserati
Popping percs
Ay, I can’t feel my body
Fly like bird
And I flying near dead body
