FROZEN LIGHT

Where do I begin
Where do I end
What is the distance between me and a friend
Are we connected
Are we one
Or is everything separate then?

My eyes are black holes
Light goes in
it don’t come out
In my mind that’s a heavy load
Enough to make my heart explode
And everything is frozen light
What does that mean?
For a laser beam.
I don’t know
I don’t know anything

What will it take?
What will it mean?
When the state of being falls somewhere in between
The perfect place?
A place of one
You and me and the sun?

My eyes are black holes
Light goes in
it don’t come out
In my mind that’s a heavy load
Enough to make my heart explode
And if everything is frozen light
What does that mean?
For a laser beam.
I don’t know
I don’t know anything

What does anything mean?
Perhaps not time for me to know
So I’ll just let it go
Come with me…

Frozen Light

DREAMING OF...

When the whistle blows and sleep is in my head
What will I be dreaming of?
When I pull the shades and you’re not in my bed
What will I be dreaming of?

For you and I have magical ties
A kiss, a flame, a tattered buckle shoe
And every storm ridden night
We held each other tight
Was that more than a passing train?

When you leave the Earth to find another skin
Who will you be dreaming of?
When the whistle blows and pages take the wind
What will you be dreaming of?

For you and I had three things in mind
A kiss, a touch, a double sided rule
Where the devil in our hearts melted like a fool
Maybe this was more than what we hoped for?
Now the ride is through and only clouds remain
What will we be dreaming of?
What will we be dreaming of?

Dreaming Of...

Thorns of the Rose

Fall Into The Deep

Shadow

“Dein Kleid” feels like a frozen moment that never lets you go — a bar holding its breath, a second of silence, and that flash of red that changes everything. It’s about the instant when longing and memory blend into one — when someone appears out of nowhere, impossibly beautiful, and suddenly the air begins to hum. The story moves between warmth and wistfulness, closeness and loss — like a scent that lingers long after the night is over. Wrapped in lush strings and gentle 70s soul, “Dein Kleid” feels like a quiet, timeless love memory that keeps echoing long after the music fades.

„Dein Kleid“ ist wie ein eingefrorener Moment, der dich nicht mehr loslässt – eine Bar, ein kurzes Stocken der Zeit, und dieses Rot, das alles verändert. Es geht um den Augenblick, in dem Sehnsucht und Erinnerung ineinanderfallen – wenn jemand auftaucht, plötzlich und unwirklich schön, und die Luft zu flirren beginnt. Die Geschichte schwingt zwischen Wärme und Wehmut, zwischen Nähe und Verlust – wie ein Duft, der bleibt, wenn der Abend längst vorbei ist. Eingehüllt in üppige Streicher und sanften 70s-Soul klingt „Dein Kleid“ wie eine leise, zeitlose Liebeserinnerung, die noch nachhallt, wenn alles schon still ist.

Dein Kleid

Die Bar hielt kurz die Luft an
Als sie durch die Eingangstür schwebte
Sie tauchte plötzlich auf
Wie ein wunderschöner Fehler im System
Ihr Lächeln war ein Kurzschluss

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich stolperte
Und fiel in dein Herz hinein
Der Club roch nach Whiskey
Nach Sonnenschein
Du kamst auf mich zu
Und ich dachte
Frier mir den Augenblick ein
Frier ihn für mich ein
Dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Nur Eindruck

Sie roch nach Sehnsucht, nach Gefahr
Das Licht tanzte auf ihrer Haut
Als hätte es was vor
Und ihr Kleid brannte wie der Sonnenuntergang
Knallrot
Draußen Regen
Aber drinnen stand alles in Flammen

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich stolperte
Und fiel in dich hinein
Der Club roch nach Sonnenschein
Du kamst auf mich zu
Und ich dachte - verdammt
Frier mir den Augenblick ein
Frier ihn für mich ein
Und dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Nur jede Menge Eindruck

Der DJ spielte „Take my breath away“
Als hätte er’s geahnt

Ich verlor sie kurz aus den Augen
Vielleicht für ’ne Minute
Auf dem Stuhl lag nur noch ihr roter Schal
Wie ein Satz ohne Punkt
Sie verschwand, noch bevor der Song zu Ende war

Seitdem riecht jeder Abend ein bisschen nach ihr

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich fiel in dein Herz hinein
Der Club roch nach Sonnenschein
Nach dir
Frier den Augenblick für mich ein bitte
Dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Will dich wiedersehen…

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.

Beats with a purpose. Healing hearts, helping Earth, one note at a time.

Home made producer since floppy discs and eclectic as they come with a predilection for cinematic , ambient breakbeats.

I’ve been making music and been in bands since I was in school. I’ve always loved watching people enjoy listening, dancing and singing to the music. I feel that music is first and foremost about enjoyment. It should evoke an emotion, whatever the artist is trying to convey. 

My musical tastes are quite eclectic and varied. I tend to enjoy a song rather than a specific group or genre. And I guess this is why what I produce goes along with that ethos of variety 

Recently I’ve felt compelled to focus my time on creativity. Loss and the brevity of life have made me understand life is too short. So here I am. I hope you enjoy!
