cool unusual love song...cool harmonies too!

Really well structured composition and arrangement. Lovely vocal. Excellent work. Chris

Awesome. Don't really need to hit a "real studio" I don't think!

Send this song to Julian Lennon, now! He should do a version. Another great one by you!

Should it be this much fun??!

The Beatles 'This Boy' Revisited

'This Little Girl (The Sequel)'; written and recorded by Vinyl Sun as a homage to The Beatles.  The 'sequel' reference is a 'tongue & cheek' nod to early 1963 Beatles track 'This Boy'. 

Title: This Little Girl (The Sequel)
Artist: Vinyl Sun
Album: Life Inside Lucy
Performed by: Vinyl Sun
Producer: Vinyl Sun
Written and Composed by: James Justin


This Little Girl (The Sequel)

This Little Girl – She’s got me all confused
I wanna run – but I don’t see the use
She’s always there – dancing inside my head
Whispering words – I wish that she had said to me

This Little Girl – She makes my world spin round
She makes me laugh – She never brings me down
She’s always there – She’s all I think about 
If only she knew – I wouldn’t be without her love

But what if I held her tight – And said how I felt inside
Only to end up a fool 
What if I never tried – And I let her love pass me by
Why is it love is so cruel

This Little Girl – She’s got me all confused
I don’t know why – What have I got to lose
I see her now – Dancing inside my dreams
This Little Girl – She really means the world to me

Title: I Think You Know
Written by: Lurene Music
Composed by: James Justin
Recording:  Live recording (sony pocket recorder)
Time of recording:  5:45am

A friend of mine passed along this live recording she had made in the wee early morning after writing this song with her partner.    It was the first time they had played through the song together after spending most of the night writing the words and music.   

A special kind of innocence is captured in this recording.  Very spontaneous and wonderfully raw as birds began chirping in the background as the sun was rising.    

This was recorded on a little Sony pocket recorder which they were using at the time to make sure they remembered the arrangement of the song.   

Lovely song ... and I hope they don't mind that I posted this.

Title: Pretty Weird
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Words & Music by:  James Justin

PRETTY WEIRD

It seems forever I've been so in love with you
I guess that something I was always meant to do

That's why I'm crying - Feels like I'm dying
When you said your sad goodbyes - My heart replied

I really miss you - miss your way
I'm gonna miss you - every day
Don't wanna miss you
Love Is Pretty Weird - I wish You were here

In such a strange and pretty place I found your love
Somehow you faced the world when tears were not enough

My strength deserts me - I'm yours completely
But you knew I had to leave - Love tempted me

I really miss you - miss your way
I'm gonna miss you - every day
Don't wanna miss you
Love Is Pretty Weird - I wish You were here

Pretty Weird

Title: Happy
Artist: GEM
Composer: James Justin & Lurene Music

Well I wake up - Rub the sleep out of my dreams
And there you are - As precious as anything
I could hold you - Make a minute last for days
I love where you are but I'll take you where you want to be

And as pretty as it gets - I will always find a way
To make the most of everything and every single day

God only knows - How far a good feeling goes
You Make Me Happy
God only knows - The way a good feeling grows
You Make Me Happy

Baby, How could you dream this time away? 
Did you think maybe you had found a better place to play
'Cause I'm watching, your body floating next to me
I know where you are and I know its where you need to be

And as pretty as it gets - I will always find a way
To make the most of everything and every single day

God only knows how far a good feeling goes
You Make Me Happy
God only knows the way a good feeling grows
You Make Me Happy
God only knows - I'll miss you, more than it shows
(I'm so happy) More than it, More than it shows
(God only knows - I'm so happy)

Happy - GEM

LOVE LOOKS THIS WAY

I forgive you - Everything that you do
'Cause tomorrow - Means the world to a fool
And even if I could - I wouldn't run from you

I remember - I was once where you are
Couldn't trust love - Didn't know where to start
And I was nowhere - 'til I came to you

But if I'm gonna run forever - Let me run to you
And if it hurts to be together - Let me wait for you
And if you ever find your lonely - Know I'm only a heartbeat away
And I'll wait - 'til Love Looks This Way

Love Looks This Way

Title: It All Just Takes Time
Artist: Vinyl Sun
Written & Composed by: James Justin
Produced by: James Justin

A bit of a flashback to the California Acoustic rock of the 70's. 

It All Just Takes Time

Somebody tell me, what’s go’in on with us
Somebody show me what to do

I can’t take the sadness – when something don’t belong
And it feels like madness – when your right and all goes wrong

But it’s not too late to show you 
I’m gonna give you everything that I got

Baby I’ll try, yes I’ll try – I’m not gonna laugh when I wanna cry
But oh, you’ll find – It All Just Takes Time

Baby I’ll do what I gotta do – I wish it could be just like you want it to
But oh, you’ll find – That It All Just Takes Time

Sometimes I feel helpless and there’s nothing I can do 
Don’t tell me you’ve not been there to

Sometimes we’re laughing and the world might seem ok
But sometimes I hold you and you’re a million miles away

But I’m too tired to find you answers
I’d rather just hold you tight 

Baby I’ll try, yes I’ll try – I’m not gonna laugh when I wanna cry
But oh, you’ll find – It All Just Takes Time

Baby I’ll do what I gotta do – I wish it could be just like you want it to
But oh, you’ll find – That It All Just Takes Time

So don’t say your sorry for things that need to change
Given time we both may feel the same

We’re so sentimental about the saddest sort of things
I’m learning little by little, it doesn’t matter what it means

But there’s so much left to show you
It’s only just a matter of time

Baby I’ll try, yes I’ll try – I’m not gonna laugh when I wanna cry
But oh, you’ll find – It All Just Takes Time

Baby I’ll do what I gotta do – I wish it could be just like you want it to
But oh, you’ll find – That It All Just Takes Time

Baby I’ll do what I gotta do – I wish it could be just like you want it to
But oh, you’ll find – That It All Just Takes Time

Baby I’ll try, yes I’ll try – I’m not gonna laugh when I wanna cry
But oh, you’ll find – It All Just Takes Time

Recording Method:

All tracks are original compositions and were recorded on an ancient Fostex 4 track tape recorder, an acoustic guitar, a Shure Beta58 and a Boss SE-50 processor.  

- Bass added on a few tracks after initial recordings. -

Recorded specifically for use as pre-production reference demos for band members prior to entering the recording studio.  

Raw production.  No pro-tools. No editing. No computer. Old school recording committing everything to tape and hoping for the best. 

Posting these demos to get a general consensus on which tracks leave an impression and might warrant further development and full production in the studio.   

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Artist info:

In anticipation of hitting the studio to record the third 'Vinyl Sun' album, a couple members of the band boarded a plane for  Thailand and spent a couple of months on Ko Samet island developing new material and putting ideas down in an acoustic demo format. 

This marked an especially prolific writing & recording period as a large volume of songs were recorded on a portable 4 track tape machine intended as reference tracks for band members.  

Recording only in an acoustic format with very limited tools enhanced a creative focus on vocal arrangements and harmonies.  

A couple of solos were created running a vocal through the SE-50 FX unit with distortion to create a kazoo like sound.    This was done on 'Getting Kinda Nowhere' and 'Addicted'.

Some of the tracks demoed were songs originally written many years ago while still in our teenage years and which we felt were worthy of dusting off and reworking while in Thailand.   

We left Thailand with a really good tan, some brilliant memories and a pocket full of tunes.  

************************************************
Soundcloud is a cool way to share some of these tracks in there original demo format.  

Raw but sugary sweet ... and good for you!

Thank you for checking it out.  Great to know these merry melodies are being heard.

Very Much Appreciate the Comments!

Quote

"It is really not all that easy to create something timeless.  Although, in the case of  the emergent phenomena of  The Beatles, one would be tempted to think that they may have found the opposite to be quite true."  

"The Beatles scratched the surface of perfection so often that they left an indelible mark upon the very face of  creation itself."
