Lyrics Below 

[Chorus]
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fears I've had so long


[Verse 1]
Wishing for direction, wishing on my gifts
I’m seeking for redemption, God take this guilt
I’ve been stumbling through life feeling all traumatized
Watching my hateful actions had left me ostracized
Ever since I left your will, I feel out of line
Barricaded, lost for words, 31 and out of time
My character measured by circumstances if I’m weak
Keep me strong as I carry on if you see deceit
I’ll rectify, clear my path identify
With your word can’t centralize
How my pride incentivize
My sins , my path been denied
Reason, I let spirit guide
My heightened guidance recognize
The devils out here synchronized with a plan
Mislead the man to only seek demise
And we fallin' for it, how can I just lead the blind ?
When I still need to free myself
Seeking for a place of peace to find
Struggle with mental health
Need some ways to build myself
Need some ways to heal myself
A line of defense against the wicked just to shield myself
Letting things go, on my ego to reveal myself
That’s why I’m come to you because I need some help
Cuz I'm....

[Chorus]
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fears I've had so long

[Verse 2]
Haven’t felt great since seconds from greatness
Wanted to quit I’m In the studio pacing
But I’m trying to be patient
At the drawing board, staying up late and writing lyrics down hell I’m even practicing basics shit
I’m on the clock (I'm on the clock)
I’m trying to please
Everybody else except me I need
Im one the clock (I'm on the clock)
Im trying to please (I'm trying to please)
Everybody else except for me I need
Some love that's why I look above
I need your healing touch
Cause lately I don't trust
The process, so I dissect everything then fuss
I can’t accept failure man that shit ain’t in my blood (yuh)
The past seems to really have a hold
As I look inside my present genes y'all gotta know
I wear my Heart on my sleeve, my future clothes
so now here I stand as I close... yo

[Chorus]
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fears I've had so long
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fears I've had so long

Holding Back

A few songs I've been listening to recently, going slighter deeper with the house, hints of jazz with a 80s aftertaste. Hope you enjoy :)

“Moeder, ingekuild tussen de meubels en het porselein, komt nog maar moeizaam boven hout, mummelt sterfberichten van vriendinnen. Boekdelen van pluis schikt ze de kast in en ze hoest het laatste restje warmte uit haar schrale rinkelende borst; schouderbladen van verdriet geblakerd breken uit de rug te voorschijn.” Peter Ghyssaert dicht en ligt in een muzikaal bed met #QuincyJones #JanRot #SimonCarmiggelt  #JimCroce #Quasimodo #Maurane #JoopVisser #MarkKnopfler #TBoneWalker #MarlYoung #MikisTheodorakis #PanagiotisKaradimitris #EricClapton #PaulSimon #BBKing #EstherVanHees #ToonHermans #FreekDeJonge #HanneloreBedert #WimSonneveld #ZjefVanuytsel #BobbyHammack #JohnnyCash #SofieSoFour #SimplyRed #AngeloBranduardi #VanMorrison #AlainMazijn

Written by Larry Jack Caldwell and Stan Snow.  Produced by Jon GIlutin, of Linda Ronstadt's band, backing vocals by Valerie Pinkston, of Diana Ross's band, and tennor sax by Bill Bergman (solo on Glen Frey's "You Belong to the City ") Thanks to my brilliant collobators, we were able to re-create the "southern stew" sound I've been hearing in my head since I was a teenager.

Julius De'Von Evans says, “being born in the hood doesn’t mean you have to be of it.” Julius De’Von Evans was born May 2, 1992 in Chicago, IL; the second of seven children born to a teenage mother. Julius spent some of his childhood living amongst high-level poverty, gang violence, and drugs in the Cabrini Green Housing Projects on Chicago’s Near North side before his mother moved the family to Detroit, MI. Despite the negative activity outside, Julius’ mother worked hard to create a different atmosphere inside. 


Julius was never attracted to the “going-ons” in the streets – but hip hop made him feel connected. Influenced by Ice Cube, Jay Z, Lil Wayne and more Julius used his music to reflect his life experiences, thoughts, revelations and insights. 

After releasing mixtapes staring in 2010 and 2 albums some years later Julius wanted to prove that he had something to say. “Music is a universal language and I believe it can change the world faster and more efficient than any politician or religious guru”.
