Really nice work, love these chord changes and what you did with them, and cool transition to the timpani. Some cool guitar phrasing thrown in as well.

AB Playlist 120 Part 2

“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)

Lyrics:
I tracked down all of my loneliness
I followed it into this place
You were sitting there
How could I not fall in love with that face?
You were getting drunk real fast
You were chasing it
You were trying to make that feeling last
You told me just to let you sit there
And sizzle
(sizzle)
Mmm, when I am gone
I hope you think back on me and smile
And take me where all your good thoughts go
All your good thoughts go
Where your good thoughts go

If you come around town
You'll see me swinging from the trees
When you think back on me
I hope you know
I was pure of heart
I could never follow our plan
I was a bad Buddist
 I was even a worse
Song & dance man
I would always fail
It's like trying to land a 747
Through the mail
When you look back on me
Hope that you smile
Ohh, take me into your frontal lobe
And take me where all those good thoughts go
Take me where all your good thoughts go

Take Me Where Your Good Thoughts Go

LE CRI DES ECRITS

A l’encre bleue indélébile,
Marqués au feu des mots fragiles,
Je vois les pleins et les déliés,
Me dire combien tu m’as aimé.

Et je retrace sur chaque phrase,
Les « je t’embrasse » dans nos extases,
Puis les formules particulières,
En majuscule pour mieux se plaire.
Mais les ratures, les gribouillis,
Mettent en bordure les mots d’oubli.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Sortent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

Si tant de prose, de phrases folles,
Toutes ces choses qui nous envolent,
Cette dernière de la rupture,
Me met à terre sous l’écriture.

Une mise à fin de l’éternel
Et du parfum d’une vie belle.
Alors je lis les larmes aux yeux,
Quand tu écris qu’entre nous deux,
C’est plus la peine de continuer,
Car tes « je t’aime » s’en sont allés.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Me donnent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

Toutes ces lettres, nos mots d’amour,
Les écrits restent car chaque jour,
Les pages entières à te relire,
Me donnent l’enfer que je respire…
C’est le cri des écrits.

THE CRY OF WRITINGS

In indelible blue ink,
Marked in the fire of fragile words,
I see ups and downs,
Tell me how much you loved me.

And I retrace on each sentence,
The "I kiss you" in our ecstasies,
Then the particular formulas,
Capitalized for convenience.
But the erasures, the scribbles,
Border the words of oblivion.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Come out the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

If so much prose, crazy phrases,
All those things that fly away from us,
This last of the break,
Brings me to the ground under the writing.

An end to the eternal
And the scent of a beautiful life.
So I read with tears in my eyes,
When you write that between the two of us,
It's no longer worth continuing,
Because your "I love you" are gone.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Give me the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

All these letters, our words of love,
The writings remain because every day,
Whole pages to read to you,
Give me the hell I breathe...
It is the cry of the writings.

Lyrics of the song "Comme Si On Savait "

Je voulais juste partir tranquille
Et vivre une autre histoire
Au départ
T'avais l'air si fragile
Que j'voulais pas te laisser
Dans le noir

T'emmener dans mon exil
Et risquer de te donner
D'faux espoirs
C'est un milieu hostile 
Où tout pourrait nous blesser
On f'rait comme si on savait....

On f'rait comme si on savait
Comme si nos vies recommençaient

Toutes ces scènes qui défilent
Nous rappellent nos passés
En miroir
Mais un changement subtil 
Pourrait nous faire oublier
Qu'c'est trop tard

J'sais bien qu'c'est difficile
De tout reconfigurer
Sans savoir
Si tout ça c'était utile
Juste pour ne pas regretter...
On f'rait comme si on savait....

J'voulais juste partir tranquille
Et vivre une autre histoire...
Au départ
