This is a remake of India Arie's beautiful "Therapy. I had it posted before but SC took it down saying that I need a license to Cover this song.

Well I have license to remake Theropy and Flohbold was kind enough to accompany me on his acoustic. Thank you sooooooo much Florian

Someone Like You by Adele is a song that I really love and just wanted to sing. I can't sing it like her but I had fun anyway.
I hope I didn't mess it up to bad.
Special thanks to my friend, Vahan,  for all of his help.
You really should check out his work (https://soundcloud.com/h-v-classical). He is totally AWESOME.
Lyrics below.


Lyrics
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Someone Like You - NayJ.

Richard sent me this wonderful tune to write to. It was one of the easiest compositions to write to. Once I heard it the words effortlessly began to flow. For me it was such an emotional and touching Rock ballad.
Alex added his touch and for me it became a jewel. 
We hope that you will enjoy what you hear.

JaCee asked me to write Christmas lyrics to his AWESOME composition. This is one track that I had sooo much fun on.
This is the original way that I wrote it, but JaCee heard it differently. You can hear his awesome mix, which is much different than this one, @ https://soundcloud.com/jacee-1.

Thanks to JaCee and the Jags for trusting me with their masterpiece.

Lyrics:

Joyous Day

It sounds like Christmas
With sleigh bells ringing
Love has filled the air
Everybody's singing 
Families gather around a fireplace 
Bringing cheers of joy 
Everybody say 
Joy to the world

(This is a joyous day)

Jingle bells are ringing 
From Santa's sleigh 
Children are smiling from ear to ear 
Cause everything is going their way 
So go and find the ones that you love
And gather around the fireplace
Sit by the Christmas tree and remember

(This is a joyous day)

It was a glorious night and a holy day 
That no man can deny

(This is a joyous day)

This is a jazzy Christmas and a joyous day 
This is a jazzy Christmas everything is going my way
All the people singing while gather around the fireplace
Joy to the world all the boys and girls this is a joyous day

(This is a joyous day)

What's The Fuss - 2016 Debut-Paploviante & NayJ.

SimBi  did an AWESOME work on Adele's "Hello" (https://soundcloud.com/simbimusic/adele-hello-instrumental-cover-by-simbi). I hope I did his work at least half justice.
My goal was to do just a tad bit of me, but mainly to stay true to Adele's masterpiece. We hope you enjoy.

Vocals (lead & backing): NayJ.

Lyrics:

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing


Hello, can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet


There's such a difference between us
And a million miles


Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home


Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore


Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened


It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time


So hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore


Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Anymore


Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Though oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby


I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby


I love you and, all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter


I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Though Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby


I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, squeeze me, hold me, hold me


You've really got a hold on me
I've said you've really got a hold on me
You know you've really got a hold on me

Lyrics:

Intro:

Haaaaaaaaaaaa




He said she said, 

They said that you said 

That you were planning 

To leave me




I don't know 

That this is true 

All that I know baby 

Is that I love you




Please baby please

Please don't you go

Please baby please

Don't you walk out that door




You've got my love 

In the palm of your hands 

And I gave you my heart but now 

It feels like I'm drowning in quicksand




So baby tell me 

Why I got to hear it from 

He said she said they said

That you are planning to leave me




Mmmm oh baby why, why, baby why are you leaving me.




When I said I do

When I said I love you

When I said 

When I said through thick and then

I meant it till the end (4X)




Chorus:

I meant it till the end (4 X)




Baby I meant it

He said she said they said you said

They said you said 

that you were planning to leave me




I know 

That this is true 

All that I know baby 

Is that I love you




So please baby please

Please don't you go

Please baby please 

Don't you walk out that door




(Repeat chorus)




Don't you walk out that door (2X)

Cause I love you I love you I love you I do




Oooooooh baby

Don't you know that I love you




Baby I love you I love you I love you I do

The Poem Lyrics are below the description.

You can hear a slightly more Theatrical Version here: https://soundcloud.com/thephaige/accumulating-pieces-nayj-and-thephaige

This song started out as a poem that I wrote in January 2016. I had thought about transforming it into a song. I get tracks sent to me on a daily basis so I  knew I would find the feel and emotions that I was looking for. So many AWESOME tracks but none had the right feel  I needed for this particular piece. 

One day (not look for anything)I was thumbing through ThePhaige tracks and came across "Crawl". The tears begin to flow and I didn't know why. I ran and grabbed my poem and begin to sing. And at that point I knew my search was over. The hard part was persenting it to Gary, because that is something I just do not do quickly. Gary is super easy to work with, he made it so easy for me and the rest is history.

My Poem

Accumulating pieces of my heart from the cold winter day
Heartbreak Convalesce now that spring is on its way

Soul jubilation as I spring straight ahead
I finally see my way now that winter is dead

The saga took place right from the heart
Agonizing days while we were apart

All that was asked of you from me
Was to explore my way just to be free


All that was asked 
Of you from me
Was to explore my way 
Just to be free


You held on too tight
You say unintentionally 
denying me the light

Purposed or not 
the pain was still there
While I longed for some sign that you really do care.

I never knew how not to love you
You see
But I received my reward
Of pain, hurt and misery

All that was asked of you from me
Was to explore my way just to be free

Accumulating pieces of my heart 


Accumulating Pieces - NayJ. & ThePhaige (Please read description)

Hello my SC family. Jamie and I have been planning to cover this song for two months. Jamie said, "this will be an all time beauty", and when he sent me a short sample of his progress I had to agree. 
Jamie told me that this would be a sweet version of Don't Know Why. Then he sent me the finished product, I was "WOWED", and I knew I had better get my game on. I needed to somehow do his work justice.
Thank you Martin from Jamie and I for the great production.
We hope that you guys will enjoy.

I thank Brend for asking me to see if I could make something out of this Magnificent tune he and Roger created. At first listen, I couldn't figure if it would be considered soft rock or something else. Once I added my lyrics I was even more confused. If someone out there can tell me what Genre this would be considered I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you ver2xif for lending your awesome production skills to our project.

I Need You - NayJ., BeDre & Roger/B-Train

In a private message, I was criticized for doing a Prince cover. This person stated, "  I don't think the late great would appreciate you taking his song to self promote your page so close to his death date. The only person that has benefit from your cover is you and those involved at this point. You're cover is displayed publicly at a tacky point in time. Period."

Prince is by far my favorite artist and I know that he did not mind fans singing his songs. He says so himself in this interview.

Purple Rain - Tribute By: NayJ & Roger/B-Train

Dear Friends and Listeners,

Our team consisting of Demelia Denton (@Demelia-Denton), Angelo Annicchiarico (@angelo-annicchiarico-1), Danae Vlasse (@danae-vlasse), TCM Underground Official (@Mrinal-Desai), and myself are proud to present this Collaboration Project on SoundCloud.

The Project Features Demelia’s Original Poetry (Symphony of Meaning), Angelo on Guitar, Danae on Piano, myself narrating in Spoken Word format, and Mrinal performing the final mixdown and producing the track. It is been a project that we all have enjoyed working on and one we sincerely hope you all will enjoy!

The Poetry Lyric is written below:
Can you hear the night?
.... Listen
The darkness speaks...
Disruption in the mind...
It weeps!
Tortured...
Oh please stop...
So distraught...
Can only assume...
Somewhere out there someone's viewing...
The wretched state, etched, needle, acid burning...
Visually...in mind, so clear
Motion picture...daunting drear...
Dark and dingy, dampened path
Puddles lit from
Moon's glow pass...
Cobble stones...
Hear creaking squeak, disintegration...and doorways swing
Crumbling walls and plaster splat
Gone good memories, lifetime facts
Gone the laughter, life within
Atmosphere absorb, belong
Shadows haunt from past...demise
Symphony...
The meaning of
Disrupted mind, from lifetime wrongs
Grasp the hand, pull safe from plod
Save the soul...
The strangled heart
That slowly pumps a deathly stunt
Shrieking cry...and helpless daunt Lessons learnt from life have taught
Symphony of all that's wrong
Darkness speaks and
Demon's mob!

But I ain't got no time for all that junk you got to say

Well I don't need need need all dat
Because I can do do bad all by myself

You're so sophisticated

Ooh 
Can’t hear myself (no nooo)
Can you please turn me up a little bit more

I was a little different
I didn't do what the fast girls do
You studied my rhythm
Now you can speed me up when you want to oooh

They were to cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby (go head baby)
Then I knew he was you (then I knew it was you!)

But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose
Oh boy 

I decided that you are the him for me (I decided)
Oh boy
Cuz I decided that you are the him for me (yes you are)
Oh my boy 

How's it feel to win it
When ain't no mountains that you can't move
Your mind is like a prism
For god's light to shine throw ooh

They were to cool to run my race (yeah!!!)
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby (go head baby!!!)
Then I knew he was you (then I knew it was you)

But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose (never lose never lose)
Oh boy 

I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
Cuz I decided that you are the him for me 
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me (you are the one for me baby)
Oh my boy (whoa boy)

You were running me running me down (down)
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me 
Ooh! The way you got me when you got me baby 
Ooh now you got me baby

You were running me running me down (running)
Telling me telling me wait (telling me telling me wait)
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me 

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't break my heart (whoa)
Let me take it from you (let me take it from you)
Cause were one and the closer I get
To you the more fearful I become
That would break me in two Honey 

Hahaha!!!

Cuz I decided that you are the him for me
Oh my boy (yes I)
You were running me running me down (running me running me down!)
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go (yeah yeah yeah)
Is the way you got me
That’s the way you got me baby
That’s the way you got me baby

Lyrics:

Sometimes we go around and around trying to find what we think we need. When everything we need is right there and all we have to do is ask the One who's able to supply all of our needs.

Woooo yeah

I went around in circles trying to find someone who loves me.
I climbed the highest mountain.
I swim the deepest sea.
But I couldn't find anybody who could love me the way that You do.
You're so special and You gave me reasons to believe
That I can do anything      yeah
That I can't do anything    yeah  yeah
I can climb the highest mountain   yeah
I can swim the deepest sea.   Yeah
I can soar   yeah yeah
High above the rainbow    yeah yeah
And I can touch the orange, red, green, and blue
And I Know It All Belongs to You
And You will give me anything    yeah
You will give me anything   yeah

It's been a down here Journey
Too many Forks in the road
We've got to pick up battles
We've got to stay on our toes

Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down 
To the Common Core 

Break it down to the Common Core (2X)

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down

One plus one is two
We've got to start all over
Start it brand new

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down

Two plus two is four
We've got to break it down
To the Common Core


Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down 
To the Common Core

Yeah, you wanna break it down
Break it on down to the Common Core
Yeah, come on come on come on

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down. (4X)

Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down

Break it down (10X)
To the Common Core

Lyrics:

Sitting by the fireplace 
Gazing in each other's eyes 
Sippin on our sparkling grape juice

Your lips say you love me
My eyes say I really care
If someone else entered the room 
We don't know that you're there

You had a little cocktail
Waiting on me 
I think I'll let you feed me a grape or two 
(laugh)

Chours:
We don't need no alcohol
We don't need no drugs at all
We can get high off each other

We don't need no diamond rings
We don't need no blings & Things
God gave us love Fit For A King

So we got 
Fresh love
No additives
We don't need man-made preserves
(repeat)

Everything is natural 
Made from the ground 
Sprinkled with love from above
(repeat)

Repeat chours 3X

Spoken words:
Help us sing it y'all
Sound mighty good y'all yeah
Everybody to my left and to my right
Let me hear you sing
Y'all up there in the balcony
Can't hear you yeah
Yeah put your hands together
Sound mighty good y'all

Everything is natural 
Made from the ground 
Sprinkled with love from above

Natural made from the ground 
Sprinkled with love from above
(repeat 2X)

(Repeat chours to end)

Supermodel 
You're so beautiful 
You've got that special walk 
When you walk down the runway

You've got that special talk
When we listen to the words that you say 
They say your candy to the eye 
But are you as beautiful on the inside yea
On the inside yea

They say you're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 

They say you're beautiful 
You're Beautiful
You're beautiful

But are you as beautiful 
On the inside
On the inside
Are you beautiful

Hey there ordinary girl
I see you flipping through the magazines 
Are you wishing that you could be 
All the supermodels that you have seen

There is a price that comes with 
Walking down the runway yeah 
There's a price that comes with 
All the glamour fortune and fame yeah 

Can you hold on to who you are 
Hold on to your loving heart 
Can you be the sweet person 
You desire to be 
Can you continue to be 
Who you are inside

Cause you're beautiful

Treatcha Right - NayJ. & Julien Apelian

Okay, this is how this song came to be...
I was sitting at my piano messing around with ideas as I often do.     
This little tune came to my head so I banged it out. 
Being that I am not the best pianist in the world, I presented it to my friend Julien and he brought it to life.
Thank you Julien for being able to take a simple idea and transform it into such a wonderful piece of music.

I also want to thank Infinite Bey for helping to tell the story with his Awesome rhymes.

Lyrics:

Many things try to separate
The very thing we dedicate
I dedicate my life to you
Oh baby oh baby

Do you see my sun shining
Cause I can see you're moon glowing
My sun is shining
Your moon is glowing
But we're in the same place same place

I don't think like you
You don't think like me
That's what we call individuality
Ality,  ality,  ality

We're standing here
In his presents today
We're making a vow
Our Lives we dedicate 

If I love you
And you love me
Why can't this union last eternally

So don't ignore my sun shining
I won't ignore your moon glowing.
My my my my sun is shining 
Your moon is glowing 
But we're in the same place same place

I respect your moon glowing
Do you respect my sun shining
Opposites attract I won't hold you back 
And you will let me flow let me flow let me flow

You bring out the best in me
I bring out the best in you
I'll let you flow
Our love will grow
And we'll be happy eternally eternally

Jingle Bells - NayJ. & Julien Apelian

Written by NayJ. and Julien Apelian, "Let Go" is our first collaboration for 2018. It was written to encourage us all to look at life as a learning process by not letting our past control us. We have to let go of the past and move on to a better day. Remember the sunshine is lovely but the flowers will not grow without rain.

Once again I consider it a honor to have my son Raylon join me on this project.

Lyrics:

Everybody's running from the rain
Because it cause a little pain
But don't you know nothing grows without it
Sunshine light on the shame let go

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (X2)

You gotta let  go of all the anger 
That you hold inside 
You gotta let go of all the fears 
That's keeping you from coming alive

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (X2)

We all have some battles
That we have to fight

Secret places
That haunt us at night

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (X2)

You let in the sun 
To dry up the shame 
But nothing can grow 
Without the rain

Let go of the fears
You're holding inside
Just conquer the storms
And you'll come alive

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (X2)

Bridge:
Dignitary preliminary 
Solving problems 
One-size-fit-all

Look within your soul 
Find your own goal
One size may not be your call

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (X2)

Ad lib:
Let It Go
wooo
Let It Go
wooooo let it go
Let go of the pain
wooo
Let's go of the shame
Let go hey

Chorus:
Let's go let's go let's go (to the end)

Let It Go
Pain don't last always
Let the trouble on out the door

Something For Ya - NayJ. & The Cajun Mafia Underground (Official)

We are so often hit with negativity from pessimistic people and the world around us. Instead of getting stuck in the negativity, turn to those habitually optimistic people who have figured out how to see the brighter side of life and remain positive in the mist of negativity. Let “POSITIVE VIBES” over ride.
Raylon, Julien and I teamed up to create this encouraging song and it’s dedicated to you and yours.

You are so uniquely you 
No one can do what you do 
Your mine is your Golden Throne

So write it down and you will see 
Your possessions work in harmony
Harmony harmony
Your possessions work in harmony
Harmony harmony
Your possessions working Harmony

Chorus :
Positive vibes (4 times) 

verse 2:
You are so beautiful 
Your smile light up the room 
Always got good conversation
Always down for motivation
Every step you take
Every move you make
Every word you speak

Chorus :
Positive vibes (4 times) 

verse 3:
Just be distinct you
Even though they may not have the clue no
Just jot it down jot it down jot it down yeah
You can change it as you go alone
Cuz your dreams aren't written in stone
Stay positive positive that's the key yeah
While your life compose a symphony symphony symphony 
While your life compose a symphony

Bridge:
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do
Just know your gift will make room for you

verse 4:
You are so uniquely you
Don't worry about what others do
Even if you have to take baby steps
Stay positive and it will help
Don't worry what people say
Don't worry what people do
Move on
Stay positive positive positive yeah

You just step in the right direction
Move towards positive vibes
Step in the right direction
Move towards positive vibes yeah
