And what seems to be a very neat multi-track harmony towards the end.

Great lyrics. You know when something is coming from the heart, and thats the best kind of lyrics for me. Loved your harmonies as well! So true, we all have so much we need to let go of.

Beautiful powerful & emotional vocals Sandi! Great lyrics and song!👍😎✌🏼

Common music industry questions asked to JTSunrise with responses:

Question: How do you feel about authenticity in music?
Response (JTSunrise): “It’s the core of music. i believe in connecting with listeners through genuine experiences and emotions. Whether it’s a folk ballad or an acoustic punk tune, it has to come from the heart”

Question: What’s your stance on tradition versus innovation?
Response (JTSunrise): “i respect and study musical heritage, i’m also open to experimentation. My Gen X Folkspunk and Seattle Americana pays homage to the past while adding my twisted twist”

Question: How do you handle community engagement?
Response (JTSunrise): “Community matters. As a licensed busker, i connect with people on the streets. Music isn’t about stages; it’s about moments”

Question: What’s your approach to affordability for fans?
Response (JTSunrise): “i keep my rates reasonable. Music should be accessible. A live show of real deal acoustic tunes shouldn’t break anyone’s bank” I mostly give it away 

Question: How do you adapt to different events and audiences?
Response (JTSunrise): “Adaptability is key. Whether it’s a venue, culture event, or campfire gathering, or wedding or life celebration, i adjust the mojo to the vibe”

Question How do you deal with annoying music interviews if the interviewer is a jackass?
Response (JTSunrise): “Simple, tell the truth:
1. What is your creative process like when writing and recording music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “A cosmic dance of creation! When i write, i sit under moonlit trees, strum my guitar to owls, let stardust melodies flow. Recording? Well, i channel wave energy into my microphone. It’s all about capturing radiation.”
2. How do you stay inspired and motivated to create music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Meteor showers, the way leaves rustle, owls. Motivation comes from the background hum of the universe. i listen to it with a cup of chai”
3. Describe a time when you had to collaborate with other musicians on a project.
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Had a jam session on Saturn’s rings. We traded riffs like shooting stars. Collaboration? It’s like harmonizing with comets—unexpected mysteries and white celestial light majik magic”
4. Do you have experience performing live? If so, what techniques do you use to engage the audience?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Whisper banjo secrets to the crowd. Make eye contact with Orion and recite genuinely thoughtful and meaningful empathetic banter. Works every time”
Cosmic Challenges (Hard Questions):
1. How do you handle criticism from fans or critics?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Listen, nod. Critics are constellations of opinions”

    * JTSunrise’s Response: “i make friends with black holes—they’re influencers”
3. How do you balance artistic expression with commercial appeal when creating music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “i look to the North Star. But supernovae need to pay rent. So, i sprinkle stardust in my lyrics”
Cosmic Wisdom (Best Responses):
1. What sets you apart from other musicians?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “i’m a comet that makes songs in Morse code. Also, my banjo has a PhD in intergalactic harmonics”
2. How do you ensure that your performances sound consistent across different venues?

3. What would you do if asked to perform an unfamiliar song?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “close my eyes, let the Milky Way guide my fingers, deliver a cosmic ballad”

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been a strange few months, and I am excited to be back. But I have a feeling it’s not going to look like it did… at least for the near future. I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts lately. And while the musical energy is flowing better than ever, my ability to write satisfying liner notes is feeling a little clogged (this will be my 6th attempt at this write-up). 

As much as I regret it, the write-ups may need to stay on hold for a while longer. But first, I wanted to share what happened (in the form of a write-up. Lol). 

For starters, it’s important to mention I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 15 (a 40 year relationship). And although I genuinely loved what a nice beer buzz did for my noisy mind, I also knew what toxic alcoholism looked like (from many examples in my extended family). So I knew I had my work cut out for me, if I wanted to overcome my genetic dependancy. 

Granted, I also have a ‘responsibility’ vein that runs deep. I did my best to prioritize my family and responsibilities first (‘don’t drink til 5:00. Don’t drink if ya have to drive’ kinda stuff), and I considered myself a ‘functioning alcoholic’. Truthfully, I was never ashamed of my drinking. As a teenager, the ability to not give a shit that I found in a beer buzz honestly saved my life. And it allowed me to unplug from the noise for many decades after that.

But I wanted to do better than that, so I started making changes quite a while ago. Here’s a brief summary of how that unfolded:

1. Back in 2006 I concluded my negative headspace was the root of the problem (perspective is huge); so I altered my daily routines, knowing it would take years to undo the lifetime of programming that caused that thinking in the first place. I started consuming info that was positive and hopeful and loving (and avoided negative info like my life depended on it… which it did). And I did that intensively for the next 15 years.

2. But by January of 2023, I realized the beer buzz no longer quieted the noise and ugliness happening in the world (it all went too chaotic too fast). So if the crutch wasn't helpful, it needed to go. That’s when I tried Tai Chi (to give my mind something else to focus on). And it worked brilliantly.

3. Over the next 6 months, thanks to the calmer headspace created by Tai Chi, I cut my drinking tremendously (and for perspective, we’re talking 9-18 Natties daily… down to 3-6 Natties daily). The surprise outcome… the fog in my mind was clearing for the first time, and I was not prepared for sober adult Justin (man is my brain chattery when left to it’s own devices). So at the beginning of August 2023, I decided to take my Social Media break. That was more timely than I could have imagined, because…

4. On August 26th I was given the gift of Pancreatitis (the disease that lets you know ‘Wow, Dude. You drink way too much’). I went to the Emergency room with terrible intestinal pain, and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Long story short, I left the hospital sober, and have been that way ever since. And I’m genuinely happy about that… because thankfully, I did a great job preparing for that day.

So in a nutshell... I am back. But the writings may have to wait a while longer (at least until I figure out how my new clearer headspace works). Interestingly, I managed to produce almost an entire album of new music over my break, so I'll put those new songs up on SC over the coming weeks. 

And since I’m just a few songs short of completion, I’ll be releasing a very personal album (symbolizing my adventures with sobriety) very soon. It’s called ‘What Color Is Your Paradox?’, and I hope to have it on Bandcamp in February.

In the meantime, I’m happy to be back. And I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to over the last few months. :)

 Big hugs from your blatantly open-book friend.
-Justin

Paradox?

LYRICS
I can't believe that this thing is happening to me
I thought I was strong
And never give in
I was deceived

And I hung on there is nothing Left that I could do
We pass in the night
Like old lovers do

Well I clutched at straws in the hope that
You'd change your mind
But all hope was gone when
You shut that door behind you

Now I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
Now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do

I put a smile on my face
There was never a trace
How much I missed you
I faced every day in a negative way
'Cos I still love you

Instrumental

And I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do

I once told myself that this would never happen to me
I was stronger inside
And my  tears I would hide
But now they run free

And I hung on there was nothing Left that I could do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do
And now we pass in the night
Like old lovers do
