Group Of Deviants - Heavy Hearted (WIP)

This is with newly mastered music and working on final vocal edits. 

Heavy Hearted Nov 2015

Day 6 I am adjusting the mix.

My remix was supposed to be a compliment to and/or a re-imagining of the original release.
I used the following original stems:
All my vocal tracks, all of CJ's guitar tracks, AJ Bass, AJ Synth, AJ Strings, the Snare, Hi Hats, Crash cymbals, Toms, and additional percussion.

Bear in mind, I am not a remixer LOL

Take Me as I Am (The AJ's In Love Remix)

INTERLUDE - 'Lifted'
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me

Spending Sunday morning
Looking forward to Tuesday afternoon
We march through the daily grind
Heading to our doom

CHORUS
Take me as I am
I am just a man
Bewildered and confused just like you
Take me as I am
I want to be more than a man
On the edge of greatness looking for
Something better to do

Dulldrummed Friday evening with a beer
and my T.V.
No longer in tuned with my senses or my feelings
No. That isn't me

I know out there some place hiding
Is a future meant for me
Still i live inside this darkened room 
Wondering what will be

INTERLUDE II
I am wondering what will be
I am wondering what will be
I am wondering what will be
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me
Love has lifted my heart, has lifted my mind
Take me

BRIDGE - 'In the Groves'
Look inside now
It's alright now
You've been through worse than this before
Look inside now
Don't dun and hide now
Don't you go and close any doors
Look inside now
Look inside now, and 

CHORUS
Take me as I am
I am just a man
Bewildered and confused just like you
Take me as I am
I want to be more than a man
On the edge of greatness looking for
Something better to do
Something better than you
Something better than you
There's always something
There's always someone 
and I know they're gonna come along and 
Take me as I am
I am just a man
Bewildered and confused just like you
Take me as I am
I want to be more than a man
On the edge of greatness looking for
Something better to do
Woah woah woah
Take me
Open your heart and take me
Open up your world and take me
Don't ever break me
No, no
Take me

(Fanfare end)

It Just Doesn't Matter

I have seen the darkest days
I've survived the hardest times
Only to find myself
All alone and asking why

Time doesn't heal all wounds
That is just another lie
All it does is make it soon
A new pain will soon find my life
 
and
CHORUS
It just doesn't matter
When that's all that I wanted
I just wanted to matter
Now, I'm just being haunted
And it just doesn't matter
It doesn't matter at all
It just doesn't matter
Nor will I when I fall

My heart was my only ally
My mind was enemy to the state
Memories come flashing by
Memories that used to feel so great

To the future my eyes are blind
Not because the light is bright
I try so hard but I just can't see
I'm trying hard with all my might
 
I guess
REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Is it too late to give it back?
To pray to God for a heart attack?
To have anything keep me from having to face the truth?
I need some time to get it right
I need to know that my life
Matters to more than just me and I am looking for that proof

But then
REPEAT CHORUS

I Tried

I believed in the right things
I believed for the right reasons
I still believe in the people
Who've abandoned me for the seasons

I loved for the sake of love 
I don't regret the love that I've given
I'm just wondering how you can believe you're good people?

PRE-CHORUS
I know my words will never get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

CHROUS
I tried to be a good man
I tried to be the man you wanted me to be
I tried to forgive everything
While still letting you punish me
I tried to live a good life
I tried to love a good love
I tried to fly with broken wings
But, you refuse to let me rise above

I believe I was worth saving
I still believe the world is a good place
I believed it when I was told
I had a place among the human race

I am tired of the ghosts
I am tired of being stuck in the past
I worked my ass off for a fleeting glance
of a love that was supposed to last

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
I know my words don't ever get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:
Am I really so bad I'm damned to a life alone?
In the shell of house that was supposed to be our home
I worked towards a future that you said we would share
Only to find nobody there
You don't want to own the things that you did
But, you can't stop pointing back at me, kids
Everything I did was because of you
You know that much is true

Don't kid yourselves and right it all off
When it was because of the harm you all caused
You had a chance to make a difference
But you chose for me lies and fear and indifference

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
I know my words they'll never get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

REPEAT CHORUS

I Tried

STEM PACK LINK BELOW
Here is the video for my latest track which completes the line up for the album. Personally, I feel this track and the video are my best work the whole way around and it was really nice to be able to bring the visuals to this prior to upcoming hiatus.

I hope this song inspires.

I'm not holding a contest because my situation for the next short while will have me more mobilized and without a work area/studio or a base of operation. So, I'm off to find myself.. 

However, I did create a stem pack for 'Together We Are Love' for anyone who wanted to do a remix of this very important message
and let me say thank you in advance!.

Stem pack download at https://goo.gl/p7i87D

I thank everyone for all the support and friendships over the years.

Here's to a brighter future for us all!

Peace 
AJ

Together We Are Love (Single Version)

It's a mad world
A make me sad world
And to top it off and make it harder
a very bad world

Only in tragedies
Is it we ever see
People banning together in unity

PRE-CHORUS
Come on people now, just try to believe
C'mon people
In the betterment of our lives
By remembering our humanity
We gotta get our act together
Come on people if ya wanna be free
Don't you wanna be free?
Love all one and one the same and the rest will come to be

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we can end the insanity 
Together we are love

It's a messed up society
Death by hands of those with a selfish need
Arguing in the names of God's
That the non-believers must bleed

Only when tragedy falls
Does everyone share one Facebook wall
For a day or two, then onto something new
Something that needs their attention for a 3 day cause

 PRE-CHORUS
Come on people now, just try to believe
C'mon people
In the betterment of our lives
By remembering ort humanity
We gotta bring ourselves together
Come on people if ya wanna be free
Love always conquers hate 
Love all one and one the same and the rest will come to be

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are love
If it was the end of this world
What would they inscribe 
As the footnote and the bottom line 
Of this Earth-bound tribe?

Would we be worthy of trying again?
Or would they just decide let it all end?
Can we try to slow down and, maybe, not pretend
...that we're so evolved 
...and there's nothing wrong
    except for a few that just won't bend

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are love

Together we are love
Together we are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are peace

Repeat Chorus to fade

https://soundcloud.com/groups/in-the-groves-remix-contest

AJ Evans has been a number of things throughout the years, but with all of them he has always been an artist. Through many adversities that he attributes to 'having to pay my dues with the whole suffering of the artist thing', he has maintained a history of releasing popular music directly to the public via the Internet as far back as 1995 when he decided his art was to be heard, even if it meant bypassing labels and just putting it out there for the world to enjoy. This, in turn, got him worldwide exposure and being requested to sign release forms so his music could be played on the radio in several European countries.

AJ Evans and John Phetteplace have been writing songs and playing music together and solo since 1989. Their first band, Blue Vision, was considered one of the most marketable acts amongst the unknown bands in Philly once there studio demo tapes were stolen and made public.

Evans conceived Group of Deviants following the success of his CD "I May Be a Stoner (But, I Ain't Fucking Stupid!)' Maxi-Disc featuring Anthony Kremski (who billed himself as Shaggs). Evans knew there would be more work with Anthony and other people and created the Group of Deviants umbrella to cover any collaborative work so no one was guest appearing on an AJ Evans track.

Group of Deviants has been an increasing popular brand of music due to very savvy p.r. on behalf of Evans and very popular graphic artwork that adorns their releases which have consistently provided their audiences with top-notched produced music from across the genres.

The latest in the p.r. campaign to get Group of Deviants to an even wider audience is a series of remix contests. They now have DJ's in the Ukraine, Canada and NYC exposed, remixing and finding rotation for Group of Deviants music.

We have just spoken with Exit 39 Productions, NYC about management which consists of an outlet that will carry our CD's and Vinyl release. It is a very successful major clothing chain that caters to a trendy crowd but, more details once it is cement.

Group of Deviants has continued to work through some major adversities and has continued to provide some of the best music for their genres and we are hoping to spread our brand of music our this summer to fill the hearts and imaginations of the people on the dance floors.

With AJ Evans serving as producer, audio engineer, graphic artist, owner and manager of SINaMANIAC Music Releases, a label created to protect his music, lyricist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, video producer and editing and John's talents as songwriter, guitarist, bassist, video production and make-up artist, Group of Deviants is a self contained powerhouse of full production talent, we just need the help to keep the dream alive and reach a larger audience.
