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?

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!
