Minuit

If your life with your significant other is going nowhere then maybe you should re-think your course of action and try a different angle.  Get busy living or get busy dying. Sleep on it.

START LIVING LIFE AGAIN

When we steal back home
Slip on our robes and turn on the stove
Disconnect the phone line
Blow off the webs
Turn up the music real loud and START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
YES, THE ENERGY IS CHANGING
GOTTA START LIVING LIFE AGAIN

Once our friends stood proud
Something inside of our friends must have died
Quickly like a cloud burst
They left us flat
We had no other choice but to START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
YES, THE ENERGY IS CHANGING
GOTTA START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
WHEN THE PRESENT AND PAST ARE THE SAME (THE SAME)

Yes, there's a place
Outside this maze
We won't have to deal with heartache and sorrow
All of the bills, pressures and guilt
Are locked in a box In a closet down stairs

Now we sleep and leave
Out of our bodies but close in our souls
Challenged by a new world
Over the edge
It's time to take a deep breath and START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
YES, THE ENERGY IS CHANGING
GOTTA START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME BABY
GOTTA START LIVING LIFE AGAIN
WHEN THE PRESENT AND PAST ARE THE SAME (THE SAME...)

Start Living Life Again

Speaking to the enormous emotional struggle to stay in a positive space.

The Found And Lost

New Steps

"Half a Chance" is an intimate, emotionally rich R&B ballad wrapped in lo-fi warmth and jazz-tinted soul. Built around soft male vocals, airy reverb, subtle string flourishes, and minimal percussion, the track balances vulnerability and groove in a way that resonates deeply with casual listeners and romantics alike.

With warm guitar chords, Rhodes keys, and a whisper-soft beat, this song paints the portrait of a quiet love—the kind that's never flashy, just honest and enduring. It's about the people who love from the sidelines, who ask for no spotlight, just half a chance to be seen.

If you’re into candlelit thoughts, rain-on-window energy, or the kind of music you write confessions to but never send, this song’s for you.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You walk in like a Sunday I wasn’t ready for
Like silence dressed in perfume I can't afford
You laugh and the whole room forgets me
But I still memorize the way you sip your coffee

I ain't the guy with the perfect line
Just a borrowed hoodie and too much time
You wear Chanel like it’s second skin
I just wear my heart, thin

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I’m just background noise
Another “hi” from a hundred boys
But if I got one second of your time
I’d hold it like a prayer in my spine

[Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d treat it like gold
Wouldn’t flex, wouldn’t lie, just hold
Your time like vinyl, soft and slow
Let you be wild, never control

If I had half a chance, I’d learn your name
In every language that feels like rain
I’d never ask you to dim your flame
Just maybe, one day… you’d feel the same

[Verse 2]
I’m not the kind they write songs about
Not tall enough, not loud, not clout
But I see you in the in-between
Where real hearts beat behind the screen

You post sunsets, I write songs
Maybe we’re just a verse too long
But if grace ever trips your step
Let it fall where I’ve quietly kept…

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah maybe I’m just fading light
In your sky full of neon nights
But if you ever feel alone
Girl, I’ll be waiting — stone by stone

[Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d treat it like gold
Wouldn’t flex, wouldn’t lie, just hold
Your time like vinyl, soft and slow
Let you be wild, never control

If I had half a chance, I’d learn your name
In every language that feels like rain
I’d never ask you to dim your flame
Just maybe, one day… you’d feel the same

[Bridge]
I’m not the guy in your stories
Not the one in your dreams
But I’d be the quiet kind of loyal
The one who sees behind the screen

You shine in places I can’t reach
But girl, I’m learning how to speak
In your rhythm, in your light
Even if it takes all night

[Final Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d keep it slow
Just enough for your heart to know
That I’m not perfect, but I’m true
And every line I write’s for you

[Outro]
Just half a chance…
And I’d give you whole of me.

2 - Half a Chance

[歌詞]
黄昏に染まる highway  
Breathin’ slow in the golden ray  
言葉よりも deepな silence  
You and me just ride the wave  

Don’t let it fade away  
心の rhythmに stay  
夢の途中で hold me  
We’re dancin’ in a mellow haze  

都会の noiseを抜けて  
Soft touchで広がる view  
ふたりだけの小さな宇宙  
Wrapped in the midnight blue  

Don’t let it fade away  
心の rhythmに stay  
夢の途中で hold me  
We’re dancin’ in a mellow haze  

(Groove ride, all night)  
静寂さえ musicみたい  
(One vibe, moonlight)  
絡み合うメロディと sigh  

Don’t let it fade away  
心の rhythmに stay  
夢の途中で hold me  
We’re dancin’ in a mellow haze

[歌詞]
雨のタクシーの窓に  
流れる光が滲む  
You said it’s only a game  
でも胸の奥が still the same  

街のノイズに紛れて  
I can’t hear what you say  
指先が触れた瞬間  
Time just fades away  

Under the violet moonlight  
踊る心を隠せない  
Fake smile, real tears inside  
あなたに溶けてしまいそう  

夜がまた呼ぶの  
Close my eyes, I fall below  
愛と孤独の狭間で  
浮かぶ your shadow slow  

静かなカフェの corner  
冷めたカップをなぞる  
Your perfume still lingers  
Like a ghost in my mirror  

Don’t say goodbye tonight  
言葉より目が語る  
曖昧な truth の中で  
I still want you, baby  

Under the violet moonlight  
揺れる気持ちを止められない  
Fading love, fading sky  
夢の中で kiss me goodbye  

(uh oh, stay with me)
(yeah yeah, stay with me)

街の灯が滲んで  
呼吸だけが近づく  
Your heartbeat next to mine  
We’re losing track of time  

Under the violet moonlight  
重ねた声が消えてく  
Fake smile, real tears inside  
Still chasing your illusion  

Goodbye, my sweet illusion  
さよならも言えずに  
(fade... fade...)

My type of productions are mainly in the Hip Hop, R&B and Neo Soul lane, but always reflecting my type of mood, personality and style.
Through my Instrumentals I'm trying to tell stories and describe a specific vibe.

Follow me through my musical journey.

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

音楽制作が趣味のベーシストです。楽曲の基本コンセプトは、グルーヴィーなリズム、優しいメロディー、そして聴き飽きない没入感です。様々な音楽テイストをミックスしています。現在はジェネレーティブAIを活用していますが、2025年にはDAWにてトラックパートを差し替え、生楽器をRECしオリジナリティを確立する予定です。もし私たちの音楽を気に入っていただけたら、フォローしていただけると嬉しいです。ありがとうございました。

I am a Bassist whose hobby is music production. The basic concept of my music is groovy rhythms, gentle melodies, and an immersive experience that you will never get tired of listening to. I mix a variety of genres. We currently utilize generative AI, but in 2025 we plan to replace track parts in DAW and REC live instruments to establish originality. If you like our music, we hope you will follow us. Thank you very much.

This page is a shameless without commercial aspirations expression of my
life as a self taught keyboard musician. Also my reaction to the status of the music industry, sketchy gigging, egotistical musicians and all the things that kill the fun out of playing music. This is a completely solo endeavor. At the same time it represents the ever evolving learning curve of modern music production for me using the modest tools available for home studios. 

    I have been a keyboard player ever since I banged out jumpin jack flash on a piano at a high school party back in 1974. Actually began playing piano at the age of eight taking lessons from the church organist till I got kicked out for playing by ear. Learned baritone horn and trombone while still pecking at the home spinet. Now after years of gigging and playing in churches I am blessed to be playing when and whatever I want. These songs are kinda my portfolio if you will. Everything you hear is the keyboard playing sound samples of real instruments combined with a variety of keyboards and sound modules. My mixing abilities are part of the learning curve so some of the questionable sounding earlier songs are here just to archive and not subject correction so please excuse. All mixes are optimised for headphones.
