Tourism - A Song For You

Live recording of unreleased song at Rockwood Music Hall 4.29.14

For Wolves (Rockwood Music Hall 4.29.14)

 I recorded it quickly at home on a dare to share with dear friends for fun.  But f#$& it.  Enjoy.  Or feel uncomfortable.  Whichever.

Shhh...Don't Jinx It

Back to the Start

When I was a kid, this is the song my father sang to be rather regularly.  Eventually I would sing it quietly to him on his deathbed.  So.  In celebration of his Birthday (6/9) I threw this together.  Enjoy.  Here is a link to the orignal:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj4nJ1YEAp4

I Got The Girl
    Words and Music: Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute


[Instrumental intro]

[Verse]
He’s got a souped up Chevy with a custom trim
and a flamethrower barbie on his deck
He’s got the newest upgrades on his phone and his ‘Mac
(even the ones you haven’t heard 'bout yet)
Yeah he’s got every kind of bolt-on, go-faster stripes
And the latest tech – but what the heck!
I Got The Girl.

[Chorus]
She’s my girl now and she’s not afraid to show it
My girl now and we want the world to know it
And my feet don’t touch and my mind’s in a whirl
Cos, yeah – I Got The Girl.

[Verse]
He spends every other evening down at the gym
doin’ a mind-numbing number of repeats
Got one eye on the mirror cos it’s all about him
He thinks he’s got potential to compete
He sure looks good in Lycra working up a sweat
He's got the pecs – but what the heck
 I Got The Girl.

[Chorus]
She’s my girl now and she’s not afraid to show it
My girl now and we want the world to know it
And my feet don’t touch and my mind’s in a whirl
Cos, yeah – I got the Girl!

[Bridge]
Well, we all grew up together in the same small town
And we watched him as he played the girls and fooled around
And now he’s come to realize that he’s the clown
Do we laugh about it – well, you bet!

[Verse]
He’s going back to college to improve his grades
Wants a magnum cum laude by next Fall
Thinks he looks pretty cool in his aviator shades
Says he’s gonna be a pilot after all
Channeling Tom Cruise (you ain’t seen nothing yet)
And I wear specs – but what the heck!
I Got The Girl.

[Outro Chorus]
She’s my girl now and she’s not afraid to show it
My girl now and we want the world to know it
And my feet don’t touch and my mind’s in a whirl
Cos, yeah – I Got The Girl.
Woo-hoo! I got the Girl!
[Outro Instrumental]

Champs Elysees - Petrojvic Blasting Company

Shayfer James has built a creative world entirely his own—where poetic lyricism collides with cinematic arrangements, where darkness waltzes with whimsy, where rebellion and vulnerability share the same breath. His work explores the dual forces of isolation and belonging, of longing and defiance, all delivered with theatrical flair and unmistakable swagger that both welcomes and unsettles.
