PJ Project - Black Velvet W/ Docvet, Alannah Myles Cover

“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)

Morning Cup

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

Sunrise with the bariste

When you called me this morning – the sound on your end – was so deafening – I got scared –tried not to act weird – Do I run to your place – your butt dial said everything – I bet right now that you wish I wasn’t listening
But I was…. And I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I'm still holding on to last nights love
I tried to call you that afternoon – phone rang off the hook – and my frustration – left me contemplating – do I come over your place with gun in hand so I can eliminate what killed us
And it's all because... I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I'm still holding on to last nights love
I get one call the said when I was arrested and now it’s 2AM and my head is spinning – I grab the gun from them and point it to my head – say one last prayer in vain Oh god please numb this pain 
And there i was.. I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I.m still holding on to last nights love,,,,,,,,

I know, I know I'm not enough
Bring back the feeling of the love
Too numb to ever feel it stung from you
In time, I know I'll be okay
Just gotta take it day by day
You were always there to pave the way for me
------------------------------------------------
All feeling gone from the way that you are
All limbs are numb and the things that I touch
------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm holding up traffic too much
All of this is on my clutch
Not in the mood for another fight
All these arguements are blind
------------------------------------------------
I know, I know I'm not enough
Bring back the feeling of the love
Too numb to ever knew it stung
Short end, I always seem to get
Wishbone, it breaks before I twist
And now you don't know I exist, well fine
------------------------------------------------
All feeling gone from the way that you are
All limbs are numb and the things that I touch
------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm holding up traffic too much
All of this is on my clutch
Not in the mood for another fight
All these arguements are blind
------------------------------------------------
Waiting in the sunset for someone
To come and save me from the place, I'm done
Hearing voices, static radio
I'm waiting till' I travel down the road

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
