jb glazer - all i wanted

MON AMITIÉ AMOUREUSE AVEC PARIS

Молчи и обнимай меня крепче (Concert Au Conservatoire Rachmaninoff)

Being in an unsafe environment.

I wrote this song with mixed feelings: one part of me wanted to express how I felt, the other part of me thought this was a really bad idea. Being in an abusive situation (both physical and emotional) can be very confusing. You start to think that it's your fault, that you deserved it, that it's normal, especially if that is what you're being told. You start to behave exactly as is expected of you, paying attention to all the rules, hoping you don't provoke anything. In the meantime, you're losing yourself bit by bit.
It's also confusing since it can go on for years without anyone else noticing it. If no one questions the other person(s), if no one tells you or them that what they're doing is wrong, it's hard to see the truth.
But I'm seeing the truth now and I think it's time to speak up, even though I'm terrified.

Lyrics

[Intro]

I’m not sure if this is a good idea
Some things are better left unsaid
Considering your responses
To other, less serious, situations

But my anxiety is suffocating me
And I need to breathe
Now I know how I got to this point…
It’s just somewhere I never wanna be again

I need to do things differently
Or I’ll never be able to be myself
I’ll never be able to live
So, here goes nothing…

[Song]

I’m so terrified
For just saying what’s on my mind
I feel your words, they cut right through me
Feeling far worse than I should be

I’m so terrified
I need to run, I need to hide
From all your rage, it’s getting to me
You’re destructive, why can’t you see?

Maybe it’s time you see (x3)
Maybe it’s time they see

Maybe it’s time you see (x4)
Maybe it’s time they see

Acting loving, acting caring
Acting like you are supportive
So committed, so empathic
Acting when we’re not alone
(x3)

Acting loving, acting caring
Acting like you are supportive
So committed, so empathic
Acting till we’re all alone

Till we’re all alone (x9)

And here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
Here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
And here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
(x2)

Disproportional
Inappropriate
Not even functional
You’re delusional
(x2)

If I don’t shut up, you will make me shut up
Yeah, you will make it stop
If I dare to speak up, you will make it stop

If I don’t shut up, you will make me shut up
Yeah, you will make it stop
If I dare to speak up, you will

Tell everyone I’ve lost my mind
(You’re right, you’re always right, you’re right)
(You’re right, you’re always right, you’re right)
(x2)
 
Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out
Dodge all the bullets
(x12)

I’m so terrified
For just saying what’s on my mind
So, I distance myself from you
Wish I didn’t, but I have to
I really have to
I really have to

Terrified

I’m pleased to share “If the Stars and the Clouds and the Sea,” released with the always-fabulous Einstein’s Dad team. This song was inspired by my Uncle Tommy, who took his own life on New Year’s Eve, 1979 — but it speaks to anyone who has ever lost someone.

A huge thank you to Bruce Haag for the heartfelt vocal performance, and to Steve Shouse, Richard Angus Bradley, Mario Licata, and Kev Zed for their brilliant musicianship.

LYRIC

If the stars could write
They’d write your name across the sky
And every bird that did fly by
Would sing a song that makes hearts sigh
Every soul would wonder why
You left this world behind
If the stars could write
If the stars could write

If the clouds could love
They’d hold you close within their mounds
And tell you all the dreams they’ve found
Your feet would never touch the ground
And happiness would know no bounds
With you wrapped in their folds
If the clouds could love
If the clouds could love

If the sea could breathe
It would exhale the gift of life
And lift you to the highest heights
Forgive you for your darkest nights
And lead you to where hope burns bright
And peace is all you know
If the sea could breathe
If the sea could breathe

If the stars could write
And if the clouds could show their love
And the sea's breath lift you above
Just maybe it would be enough
To prove you've got the stuff
To fly high with the doves
To soar with the doves
To soar with the doves

If the stars and the clouds and the sea
If the stars and the clouds and the sea
If the stars and the clouds and the sea
Only knew, they’d set you free
If they only knew, they would set you free
If they only knew, they would set you free
If they only knew, they would set you free
If they only knew, they would set you free


RELEASED ON SOUNDCLOUD: December 3, 2025

If the Stars and the Clouds and the Sea

A warm, traditional Christmas ballad centered on shared meals, glowing firelight, and the quiet strength of family rituals. The lyrics lean into sensory detail—spices, snow, candlelit windows—to build a nostalgic winter scene. Beneath the festive imagery is a steady theme of continuity: year after year, the table becomes the anchor where love, memory, and togetherness settle in. The tone is gentle, melodic, and built for holiday playlists that want sincerity over spectacle.

The Magic Time of Year

"My Catalyst" is a warm, upbeat pop track about finally getting your life back on track — feeling lighter, stronger, ready for love… but still searching for the one person who makes the whole picture complete.
It’s hopeful, sunny, a little bittersweet, and built on acoustic guitars, Latin-pop energy, and a catchy melody that feels like summer.
A song for anyone who’s grown, healed, and is now waiting for that spark that makes everything click.

Lyrcis:

[Verse 1]
I've been climbing, I've been fighting,
Made my peace with who I am.
Left the shadows, kept on rising,
Now I'm walking with a plan.

Got my heartbeat back in rhythm,
Got my feet back on the ground.
But there's one thing still missing
Yeah, that one I haven't found.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm ready for a spark now,
Ready for a hand in mine…
Yeah, I'm open, I'm wide open
Just waiting for the sign.

[Chorus]
Where is my catalyst?
The smile I've missed, the one that feels like happiness.
I'm doing fine, I made my climb
But still I can't resist
Wondering where she is…
My catalyst.
My catalyst.
My catalyst.

[Verse 2]
Life is lighter, days are brighter,
Feels like everything's in tune.
Still I'm hoping that I'll meet her
Maybe late, maybe soon.

Got a good road right behind me,
Got a good road up ahead
But it all would feel much sweeter
With her walking where I tread.

Yeah, I'm ready for a spark now,
Ready for the moment when
Someone laughs into my silence
And turns it gold again.

[Chorus]
Where is my catalyst?
The smile I've missed, the one that feels like happiness.
I'm doing fine, I made my climb
But still I can't resist
Wondering where she is…
My catalyst.
My catalyst.
My catalyst.

[Bridge]
Maybe she's closer than I know,
Maybe she's just one step away…
But till she finds me on this road,
I'll keep shining anyway.

[Chorus]
Where is my catalyst?
The spark I've missed, the one that feels like happiness.
I'm standing strong, I've come so far
But I just can't dismiss
This feeling that she's real…
My catalyst.
Where is my catalyst?
My catalyst.
My catalyst.
My catalyst.





My Catalyst

You were warmer than the sunshine
She is colder than the wind
I still think about you all the time
I want you back again

Days and nights we spent together
Just enough to fall in love
When I left her to come back to her
What was I thinking of

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Time after time
I've run the memories through my mind
I see you in the morning
I dream of you at night

Love is easy to remember
It ain't easy to forget
It's getting harder to pretend to her
I don't love you a bit

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Time after time
I've run the memories through my mind
I see you in the morning
I dream of you at night

You were warmer than the sunshine
She is colder than the wind
Don't know how I got in such a bind
I want you back again

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light
I’m freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Now I See

“Når snøen lander stille” (“When the Snow Lands Quietly”) is a melancholic winter ballad from Nordskygge, produced by John AI Smith.
Built on soft acoustic guitar, warm vocals, and a calm cinematic atmosphere, the track captures the quiet emotional moments of December — when memories feel closer, and the world turns still under falling snow.

Nordskygge blends Scandinavian minimalism with intimate storytelling, creating a reflective and wintery soundscape that feels both fragile and deeply human.
A heartfelt song for those cold nights when the past lingers softly in the present.

Lyrics:

Snøen faller rundt i lyset,
byen holder pusten nå.
Alt blir stille, alt blir rolig,
og desember finner meg.

Når snøen lander stille nå,
når snøen lander stille nå,
jeg kjenner alt vi var,
og alt jeg fortsatt bærer på.

Snøen faller som en tanke
jeg prøver å slippe taket i.
Kvelden legger seg rundt huset,
og alt blir stille inni meg.
Jeg hører minnene som hvisker
fra en tid vi begge bar.
Det er rart hvor nær du føles,
selv når du ikke lenger er her.

For når desember kommer sakte,
trer alt det gamle frem igjen.
Jeg trodde tiden ville hjelpe,
men den savner mest av alt – din stemme.

Når snøen lander stille,
ser jeg spor av deg i alt.
Du var varmen i det mørke,
du var smilet som jeg falt for.
Og når snøen lander stille,
kjennes verden litt for stor.
Julen blir så annerledes
uten det vi en gang delte.

Granlukt fyller rommet,
lysene står rundt et tre.
Folk ler ute i gatene,
men hjertet mitt går i fred – og fredløst med.
For alt vi aldri fikk sagt høyt,
står klarere enn noen gang.
Det er mørkt bak alle vinduer,
men jeg håper du har det varmt.

For minnene blir sterkere
i den tiden vi delte mest.
Jeg bærer alt du ga meg
som en skjør desembertrøst.

Når snøen lander stille …

Jeg savner måten du så på meg
når verden gikk litt fort.
Det finnes ingen trøst i tiden,
bare i det vi aldri fikk gjort.

Når snøen lander stille,
faller hjertet litt i kne.
Du var gløden i mitt mørke,
du var den jeg ville se.
Og når snøen lander stille,
kjenner jeg savnet mest av alt.
Julen står og banker på,
men du svarer ikke i år.

Når snøen lander stille nå,
når snøen lander stille nå,
jeg bærer deg i hjertet
i hver desember som går.

Når snøen lander stille

soaked to my skin

To sing from low G to high C.

Once the Singing Christmas Tree,
Sings a merry round or two,
Then the whole wide world abroad,
Knows just what it should do!

The birds fly to the tree with joy.
Each voice is a note in the scale. 
Brilliant harmony and melody,
Lovely songs without fail.

Once the Singing Christmas Tree,
Sings a merry round or two,
Then the whole wide world abroad,
Knows just what it should do!

Sing a beautiful carol on high,
All throughout the night.

And all the world is right!

Once the Singing Christmas Tree,
Sings a merry round or two,
Then the whole wide world abroad,
Knows just what it should do!

THE SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE

I wrote this song years ago, about the excitement of a budding romance. It was beautiful to me then, but admittedly shallow. I didn't realize it, but I could only complete the lyrics to their fullest potential this year, after living through more and inevitable grievances with my long-term relationship.

Figuring out life while making music.

-------------------------------

I think it's beautiful that music can mean so much to people. It can connect us in ways that are not possible in normal conversation. 

I remember sitting at my piano a while ago and suddenly I felt the music through my whole body, as if I were one with the music and the outside world no longer existed. It felt magical.

That's when music became very important to me. I started to write my own songs and I was finally able to express feelings and thoughts I couldn't express before. It was - and still is - my therapy. That might sound a bit like a cliché, but it's true :)

And now I am ready to share my songs. Written, recorded and produced by me, no AI. Unless it turns out I'm AI myself and I don't realize it... :) Just kidding, I'm pretty confident that I'm human.

I love to listen to other people that create their own music. I admire the stories and feelings shared in these songs, the work that has been put into it and the courage to share it with the rest of the world. I'm always happy to connect with fellow creative minds here!

Jen Waters began playing the piano in her parents' Hershey, Pennsylvania, home in the second grade. In the fourth grade, she saw her first musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS. Although she enjoyed learning classical pieces on the piano, sometimes she would write her own songs instead of practicing her assigned lesson. Thus began her love of writing lyrics and melodies. She wrote her first song in the seventh grade and hasn't stopped since.

During the summer of 1994, Jen attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. In 1999, she graduated as an S.I. Newhouse Scholar from the School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a major in magazine journalism and minors in music and in English and textual studies. She took the TV, radio, and film classes in sound production. She also took classes at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs of Syracuse University. During her junior year, she studied abroad for a semester in London, England. Upon graduation, Dean Rosanna Grassi awarded her with the Henry J. Wolff Prize for the graduating senior deemed most proficient in journalism.

She has written for such Pennsylvania publications as HARRISBURG MAGAZINE, THE PATRIOT NEWS, and THE TIMES LEADER. She also wrote for seven years in the Washington, D.C., media, mostly human-interest stories.

"Yellow Roses," a song Jen co-wrote, became the grand-prize winner in the country category of the 2005 Session-I John Lennon Songwriting Contest. She has performed at various places such as the ASCAP Writer's Showcase at the Kennedy Center with host Stephen Schwartz, Genghis Cohen, Hallenbeck's, Hotel Cafe, the Koffeehouse Sundance Film Festival Chateau, and the Durango Songwriters Expos. Since 2010, music-industry veteran Judy Stakee has mentored her.

In August 2014, Jen released a 33-song collection through Pen Jen Songs called WHIMSY. She also released ten spoken-word children's stories and poems that she wrote and performed in a collection called WONDERLAND. In April and May 2016, she re-released the WHIMSY songs as WHIMSY FOR ONE and WHIMSY FOR TWO, each with an original Christmas song. In November 2016, she released nine spoken-word Christmas stories that she wrote and performed in a collection called WINTER WONDERLAND. 

She had three releases in 2017. HANDWRITTEN, a 22-minute recording of her grandparents' historical-fiction World War II love story, was released in February. The following month presented PURITY, a 12-song collection with a pop-classical influence. In October, she released IMPOSSIBLE THINGS, ten original spoken-word children's stories and poems. 

In April 2019, she released SIMPLICITY, a 20-song pop collection. By December 2019, she gave the world CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER, seven original spoken-word children's short stories. In March 2020, she released HOOPS TIME, a 14-minute inspirational basketball story inspired by her father. By December 2020, she finished ENTIRELY BONKERS, seven original spoken-word children's short stories. March 2022, she launched FATE, 17 original pop songs. By May 2023, she presented THE GREAT PUZZLE, eight original spoken-word children's short stories. In November 2023, she released HOLIDAY MUCHNESS, two original Christmas songs. By November 2024, she finished SHELTER, 14 original singer/songwriter songs.  In December 2024, she birthed A CHRISTMAS RABBIT HOLE, five original Christmas songs. 

She also launched PEN JEN'S INKWELL PODCAST, featuring the children's music and spoken-word stories from her Apple Music releases. Her blog PEN JEN'S INKWELL features her latest children's short stories and poems. 

Combining her love for music and children, she founded Pen Jen Productions and created a children's novel and musical series, THE WHIRLWIND CHRONICLES: THE MAGIC MUSIC BOX, THE HORSE GATE, and DREAMS OR DUST. She also wrote KISSES, a musical based on the life of chocolatier Milton S. Hershey. 

She is an ASCAP member and a nominee for the ASCAP Joe Raposo Children's Music Award. She has hundreds of pop tunes yet to be written.
