Truthfully #tbt

Even Stand #tbt

Ryan and I were in Broadcasting class together in High School. He knew that I was big on music and recording and always would bug me about making him a beat he could freestyle over... so after class one day, this 'sick' track happened. Ryan's humor was extremely genuine and undeniable. He will be missed and I will smile often thinking of him.

From upcoming EP 'It's Only Your Twenties' (3/24/15)

You're So Sweet

I wrote this song shortly after I officially decided to part ways with Brooklyn and move to Austin, TX.

Brooklyn

Nothing Ever Happened (2009)

For Will Grennan


(Jimmy Eat World Cover)

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.

What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.

Now what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.

And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god couldn't let it live.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.



May Angels Lead You In

OFF OF NEW CD "LOW IS A HIGH"

I didn't have to follow through
Kept using muscles that weren't meant for you
Didn't you need it?
Didn't you?
It's always a timing thing
It's always not specific to me
Well, I was too whole
When I was alone

Doesn't it feel
Much too old
Just to break your bones and not love the outcome?
Doesn't it feel
Much too old
To brake your bones?

It's fine another goodnight-less evening
When I'm still missing you in pieces
Fitting into this puzzle of you
And everyone else I've ever met to try to forget
It takes nothing from you,
A friend you still are
And it's me missing out
I was too bold
To say I needed a home

Doesn't it feel
Much too old
Just to break your bones and not love the outcome?
Doesn't it feel
Much too old
To break your bones?

You can still have me
If you still need me
It's always a timing
It's always not specific to me
You can still have me
If you still need me
It's always a timing thing
It's always a timing thing
You can still have me
If you still need me 
It's always a timing
It's always not specific to me
You can still have me
If you still me
It's always "a timing thing"
It's always "a timing thing"



Outcome

You gave me pretty, little things
Got grass in my foot: it stings
But you were there
To appease me
Japanese restaurant,
You said I could order whatever I want
My eyes lit up;
You quickly learned how to impress me

But all these things make me wish I was older
I wanted to be 16 so I could go to shows and drive semi-legally
Then I was begging to do some other thing

That night I drank too much
And I didn't know how to be in love
You were there
To teach me
5 am
Much too early to go to bed
I was scared
So you'd walk me half way

But all these things make me wish I was older
I wanted to be 17 so I could drive and do what I wanted to sexually
Now all of that means nothing

That night-drive in your car
Hunter mountain wasn't too far
I said "Mother, will you help me?
I'm nervous to go away
With someone; he's just so great"
I said "Mom, am I old enough?"

All these things make me wish I was older
I wanted to be 18 so I could buy cigarets and play the lottery
Then I was begging to do some other things

Now I'm 20 years old
You know I never write happy songs
But you're the happiest of all my thoughts
So I wrote you this one
Pretty, little things
I hurt you and I'm sure it still stings
But if you take me back I'll be
A little bit older
A little bit older

Pretty Little Things

New York-born singer-songwriter Sometimes Jamiee has relocated from the Big Apple to Austin, Texas. After years of performances and self-recording, Jamie DeFilippis (Sometimes Jamiee) is preparing for new collaborations and exposure as she continues her songwriting career in Austin, TX. The 26-year-old Massapequa, NY native has been recording her own work since 2004. Her first full-band EP (It's Only Your Twenties, 2015) was recorded with well-known producer Anthony Lopardo of The Music Refinery (Love Robot, The Getaway Drive, Diffuser, The World We Knew, Hopesfall, Moon Tooth). Together they created a fully realized and multifaceted collection of songs, which demonstrate her talent in both writing and performance. Lopardo as well as Exemption/Moontooth drummer, Ray Marte are featured musicians on the EP as well.

Jamie has been playing since she was 13 years old, when she received her first guitar as a Christmas gift. Music began for her as a family collaboration but quickly transformed into a passion, when as a teenager she would write and record in her bedroom instead of partying. During her years at CUNY The City College of New York, Jamie studied music production and recording engineering, and developed a small, international fan base on YouTube, gaining attention both locally and at large, as far away as Sweden.

Since then, she has garnered a reputation as a hardworking and sensitive performer, pulling her inspiration from everyday situations and the complex emotions they elicit. Her influences are varied and include Jimmy Eat World, Lucy Kaplansky, Butch Walker, and Copeland. Her incredibly personal and vulnerable songs are representative of coming-of-age as a part of the Millennial generation. The "It's Only Your Twenties" EP speaks to its title, with the songwriter connecting to her audience and their shared experience. 

In 2017, Sometimes Jamiee released "Unreleased Mixtape" which is a compilation of unreleased songs she had written, performed, and recorded herself yet never released. While making the move from New York City to Austin, Texas she also released a demo of her song "Brooklyn" that explains her decision to relocate. Jamie's music can be found on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Google Play, and all other digital service providers.
