My Picks to relax

Jazz, Blues, Rock, funk etc...

Love <3

A folk'n good time

Kimte haha

Looking up through the light at your cold dark face
From my grave
Buried 10 feet deep in this pit of shame
I’m to blame

For my fall, no one has to know
Out I call, I can’t seem to get up
So I beg for more
So I beg for more

Can’t see straight I don’t really mind
Try to remember what I left behind
I can never be, a nobody
You can´t cage me, I wont be owned

Looking up through the light at your cold dark face
I´m to blame

For my fall, no one has to know
Out I call, I can´t seem to get up
So I beg for more
So I beg for more

For my fall, no one has to know
Out I call, I can´t seem to get up
So I beg for more
So I beg for more

Can´t see straight, 
try to remember
try to remember

My Grave (Single)

Title: Dreams (As Good As This) 
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by: James Justin

Another very early composition. Written at the age of 15 or 16.  Always thought it had a kind of Herman's Hermits/Bay City Roller's kinda vibe.   Bubblegum Pop. 

DREAMS (As Good As This)

You weren't what I had expected
You were so much more real 
I detected more than a smile
A style, I couldn't see through

And you weren't just there 
You're everywhere it seems
And Dreams Don't Get As Good As This

I just couldn't imagine myself
In love with a girl like you
Maybe it won't be the same in a while
But now its too good to be true

And you weren't a cliche'
In every way your new 
And Dreams Don't Get As Good As This 

You weren't what I had expected
You were so much more real 
I detected more than a smile
A style, I couldn't see through

And you weren't just there 
You're everywhere it seems
And Dreams Don't Get As Good As This

I'm only sleeping - Is this real love?
Please don't you wake me - If its real love

And you weren't just there 
You're everywhere it seems
And Dreams Don't Get As Good As This

You weren't what I had expected
You were so much more real 
I detected more than a smile
A style, I couldn't see through

Title: Take Me To Your Heart
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by: James Justin

This one reminds me a bit of a Musical Theater type track.   I think I was listening a lot to the 'Jesus Christ Superstar' soundtrack around the time I wrote this one.   (The Ted Neely / Carl Anderson movie version.  Left a lasting impression)

Written when I was 16 or 17 years old. 

TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART

Take Me To Your Heart - To the soul of your problem
Together we could solve them - Don't doubt my love for you

Take me to the start - Tell me why you're hurting
Tell me your feeling - Is there something I can do 

Let me know now - If you don't need my caring 
If your not into sharing - Your love with me

Tell me somehow - What's left you so unsure
Who's left you with this hurt heart - Your pains not hard to see  
(Don't you, Don't you Cry)

Take me in you arms - Let me see your broken heart
Don't be left so alarmed - I've be sincere from the very start

Take Me To Your Heart - Take Me To Your Heart 

Take Me To Your Heart - To the soul of your problem
Together we could solve them - Don't doubt my love for you

Take Me To Your Heart - Don't you doubt me
Take Me To Your Heart - Don't you love me
Take Me To Your Heart - Don't you doubt me
Take Me To Your Heart

Live performance with Amro Salah trio

Based on the 1942 French song "Que reste-t-il de nos amours ?" with music by Léo Chauliac & Charles Trenet and lyrics by Charles Trenet.  The English lyrics are by Albert A. Beach: introduced in 1957.

I Wish You Love - Noha Fekry - Live

Enregistrement Live 2013 à l' Espace Ligéria (Montlouis 37)

Avalon

This song was played on my housemate's shitty classical guitar while mine was in getting fixed. I think the chorus needs a bit of Miley Cyrus Twerking and the solo needs some fine tuning. I like it. 

The devil in you

You came out fighting and that was enough
You're like dancing rain on the rim of a paper cup
I know you devil's hair
I know you with your heart so rare

I love the devil in you
I love the devil in you
You're like a bird that they cant tame
I love the devil in you
And I wouldn't try to change it

You wore your face like a loaded gun
Eyes they burn just like hydrogen bombs
I know you ruby mouth
I know you from the inside out

I love the devil in you
I love the devil in you
You're like a bird that they cant tame
I love the devil in you
And I wouldn't try to change it

You sit on the roof while the buildings burn
Your violin it carries in the wind
The people are running so far away
But I'm trying to get in

You walk into night like a sunset kiss
The wind it turns around your Marilyn hips
I know you devil's hair
I know you with your heart so rare

I love the devil in you
I love the devil in you
You're like a bird that they cant tame
I love the devil in you
And I wouldn't try to change it

The Devil In You

Wade In The Water

toss me a raincoat
with these days you ever know
youd be a fool
to just get up and go
this life youve been living
in the hospice of life
deep in the suburbs
of your pleasure breeding mind
one day itll just be
a little story to tell
a few myths and legends
that ring fewer bells

did you forget

the scent of this life
has a hint
of death

i hate to break it to you
but it breaks itself
i dont mean to harsh your mellow
oh goodness no no no
now all is still good
and all is still well
just that someday soon
itll raise all hell
beneath the filth and grime
laid in the bedrock of time
before anything youve learned
far passed your infinite prime
are teardrops
that fill the sewers of your mind
and all the faces unseen
in those cinema dreams
and the people youve met
smoking each others
cigarettes

dont you forget

cracks youve been paving
crack closer
at best

Toss Me a Raincoat

Care Giver (feat antOnin)

Among the noise

Title: Addicted
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin


Acoustic lo-fi 4 track recording from 'Vinyl Sun' pre-production songwriting sessions.

'Addicted' was in consideration for inclusion on the bands third album which remains unreleased. 

Unique track with a variety of interesting layered harmony idea's put down in an informal 4 track recording session while the band was on the road touring. 

Hints of 'Jellyfish' type production come to mind when considering how it might have developed in the studio.

Addicted has many lyrical charms with some rather humorous and telling insights into the composers state of mind at the time of its composition.  A very autobiographical composition reflecting events at the time of writing the song.   'Vinyl Sun' gets a mention. 

ADDICTED

I'm getting away from everything - I love - about you
And when I'm gone - I'll miss my Mrs. Wrong

I'm putting you down for putting me out - of my - misery
My stepping stone - Is stepping on my will to be alone
So now I'm lonely

Starlight's the first light that I've ever seen - (A newborn idol)
My baby steps tripped on this tragic dream - (Its Suicidal)

My best intention is tearing my confidence in two
Lucky me - I'm addicted to you (ya know what I'm saying)

I'm getting away from everything - (from everything I love about you)
And when I'm gone - I'll miss my Mrs. Wrong

You better get out your 45's and put on - your - best goodbyes
My Vinyl Sun - will melt away my dreams gone wrong
You'll get burned by vision

My baby blues just blew your mind away - (A shotgun honeymoon)
Sand castles lives were swept up by the waves - (emotional typhoon)

My best intention is tearing my confidence in two
Lucky me - I'm addicted to you (ya know what I'm saying)

Title: Baby Blues
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written, Composed, Arranged & Produced by: James Justin
Performed by: James Justin & Carl Schruman

BABY BLUES

For awhile - I wasn't lonely or blue
Given time - I'd find love again
But now I'm - I'm thinking of only you
And I find - It's hard to pretend

When I said I couldn't love you - I spoke too soon
'Cause now your gone and I need you
So take me back - Please bring back
My Baby Blues

For a while - Nothing could change my foolish ways
Now I find - I'm hardly the same
Since you've gone - The loneliness fills up my days
And the nights -  Brings nothing put pain

I just can't keep pretending - The hurts not real
'Cause only you - knows how it feels
So take me back - Please bring back
My Baby Blues

I let the best thing that I had just slip away
I said what I said - Then I went out to find a better way
But if I could get you back - I'd lay my love right out flat
And save my lies for fools

For awhile - I wasn't lonely 
Given time, Given time - I might find your love again
'cause now I'm - I'm thinking of only you
And I try - I just can't pretend

oooo Baby - Take me back
Baby Baby - uh huh ahhh 
Won't you bring back - My Baby Blues

Oh My Baby Blues - My Baby Blues

My Baby Blues

Title: Getting Kinda Nowhere
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Words & Music by:  James Justin

This track was originally recorded without a bass.   A spontaneous bass track was laid down some time later that helps move it along despite a rather 'loose' performance on my part.  This is a track I'd like to get back into the studio with and see it reach its potential. 


GETTING KINDA NOWHERE

Is everything alright?  Is there a backbeat in your life?
And are you satisfied?  With all the shit you sacrificed

But I'm, getting kinda sleepy waiting here
Getting Kinda Nowhere
Where, were you, when there was nothing that we couldn't do?
Getting Kinda Nowhere

I'm feeling kinda cold - I guess I'm not myself tonight
When jealously takes hold - I know I'm holding on too tight

And I'm, getting kinda sleepy waiting here
Getting Kinda Nowhere
Where, (where) were you, (were you) when there was nothing that we couldn't do?
Getting Kinda Nowhere

I'll bet you're waiting for - Someone to hold the door
I'll bet you think life is owing you something more
I think you may have missed out - On what life is all about
Who cares, we're Getting Kinda Nowhere

(Ga Ga Ga Going Nowhere) 
(Nowhere)

I wonder what I've done - To feel so plastic and exposed
If ignorance could run - I bet it'd run right over you ...

And I,  could spend another lifetime getting here
Going Kinda Nowhere
Time, (time) will tell (tell) - If nothing else I know myself so well
Well enough to stay clear

Where, (where were you?) were you (where did you go?) 
When there was nothing that we couldn't do?
Getting Kinda Nowhere
Here Am I - Getting kinda sleepy waiting here
Going Kinda Nowhere

Title: When I'm Not With You
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Words by: James Justin
Music by: James Justin & Jerry Sintich

WHEN I'M NOT WITH YOU

Oh Darl'in Darl'in I know its hard - And I never thought we could drift apart
And it hurts to just sit by when I know that you will cry alone tonight
Oh Darl'in Darl'in I know your scared - Your reach'in out and nobody's there
But after all that's said and done - I know that you're the only one for me

I only want to be with you (hold on)
Oh Baby Baby I'm not confused (its so strong)
I wanna get lost in love (hold on)
I only wanna be moved by you (its so strong)
'Cause you don't know what I go through
When I'm Not With You
When I'm Not With You

Oh Darl'in Darl'in I'm so afraid - That I'm miss'in out on this love we've made
And I feel so out of touch - Nearly close enough to fall in love again
I know I left you so lost in doubt - But now I'm so lost that I can't get out
And I know that I'm to blame - But I wish that we could feel the same again

I only want to be with you (hold on)
Oh Baby Baby I'm not confused (its so strong)
I wanna get lost in love (hold on)
I only wanna be moved by you (its so strong)
You just don't know what I go through

When I'm Not With You - Every day I get a little bit older
When I'm Not With You - The world gets a little bit colder
When I'm Not With You - My heart gets a little bit harder
When I'm Not With You - My dreams get a little bit darker
When I'm Not With You - Every minute seems to last forever
When I'm Not With You - I only want to be together

When I'm Not With You - You just don't know what I go through
When I'm Not With You - You just don't know what I go through

Just don't know what I go through - Just don't know what I go through
When I'm Not With You

When I'm Not With You (70's Style Lo-fi Acoustic Demo)

Title: Daisy
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Words & Music by:  James Justin

This was a very early composition.     A decision to rewrite the chorus was made some time later when demoing the track in Thailand but the melody in the verse & pre-chorus felt melodic and memorable thus remained intact.  The simplicity of the lyrics complimented the melodic progression of the song. 

'Daisy' was influenced by a particular style of 70's soft a.m. radio hits of that era.    A sound that was common but a handful of artists captured something unique that stood out amongst the rest. One hit wonders with a streak of melodic genius & production. A few of my fave one hit wonders from the 70's, 'Magnet and Steel' by Walter Egan,  'Baby Come Back' by Player,  'My Angel Baby' by Toby Beau, , and 'Sad Eyes by Robert John.   

An appreciation for some of those old 70's a.m. radio K-tel soft rock hits.    Lots of great music in the 70's ... but this style was a breed all its own.  Top Quality Pop Pablum. 

DAISY

She calls me in the middle of the night 
Just to tell me everything's alright
But she's lonely

I tell her not to worry - There's no hurry
"Just take your time"
But she knows me

And I didn't even try to tell her 
'cause I knew if I tried  - She'd only ask why

All her life had been a world of sad goodbyes
With nothing to show  - And no-one to hold

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

I know I could of made things right 
I could of told her how I felt inside
But I waited

I couldn't find the strength to say
The love is just a word a way
I hesitated

And I didn't even try to tell her 
'cause I knew if I tried  - She'd only ask why

Time had pushed our love aside and made us friends
And friendship can't die - I won't even try

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life
It's gonna fill your live (Daisy)
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

Title: Melt Me Down To Size
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin

I've always had an appreciation for McCartney's dabbling in nostalgic musical styles such as 'Your Mother Should Know' (Beatles), 'Honey Pie' (Beatles), 'When I'm Sixty Four' (Beatles), 'My Baby's Request' (Wings), You Gave Me The Answer (Wings), etc.   The decision to reinvent a nostalgic music styling in a modern contemporary format takes a touch of class and a risk taking spirit in my opinion.   (Lennon never quite seemed to approve)

Queen was another group that engaged early era nostalgic novelty songs and incorporated them into modern composition with tracks like 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy', 'Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon', 'Good Company', and 'Seaside Rendezvous'. 

'Melt Me Down To Size' was an early stab at a bit of Nostalgic melody mixed with contemporary lyrics that were composed while still a teenager.  This track follows in line with a number of other Lazy Dynamite compositions such as  'The Soap Oprah Show', 'Baby Blues', 'What's In A Tear', etc.    

I find the 'Nostalgic Genre' generally refers to a musical styling that would have been popularized long before any direct influence would have been possible.  

MELT ME DOWN TO SIZE

I take one look in your eyes - You melt me down to size
Whenever we're together - I get so high
Sometimes I'm noth'in but lies but you just melt me back down to size

Back track, search'in, for something to use
You've never done me no wrong   (am I wrong)
Get down, search'in, for some kinda clue
But girl you were always so strong   (your so strong)
And I know now your still hold'in on  (please hold on)

I Take one look in your eyes - You melt me back down to size
Whenever we're together - I get so high
Sometimes I'm noth'in but lies but you just melt me back down to size

This girl is one girl - I'll never let go 
I'm a piece in the puzzle for you (piece of you)
You know what I need still I need you to know
There's nothing that I wouldn't give (I won't give)
But you still got your own life to live (let me live)

I Take one look in your eyes - You melt me back down to size
Whenever we're together - I get so high
Sometimes I'm noth'in but lies but you just melt me back down to size

She, gets me so high - All night
I feel so alive - All right
She knows me and I know it

I Take one look in your eyes - Oh You melt me back down to size
Whenever we're together - I get so high
Sometimes I'm noth'in but lies but you just melt me back down to size

I Take one look in your eyes - You melt me back down to size
Whenever we're together - I get so high                                                         
Sometimes I'm noth'in but lies but you just melt me back down to size  (You melt me down)

Take one look in my eyes - See what you've done 
I feel so high (my butterfly) - You are the one

IDIOT KID.
ran a red light stayed up all night
stole a bottle from a bar
jagged music cut through cold air
in a hand-me-down car

when the sun goes down
start calling people up

days amount to nothing
and nights blur to grey
it doesn’t mean anything
but isn’t that the way?

Friday parking lot promise
though both of you know you’ll never stay
sweet intoxication and its murky old temptations
wait ‘til she turns her back then slip away (into the shadows)

and though you’re out here always
the streets don’t know your name

and your days amount to nothing
man, your nights blur to grey
and it doesn’t mean anything
at least that’s what you say

dressed up in disregard
time will tear you down.

Title: Vanity Rules
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin
Bass: Jerry Sintich

The soundtrack for 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High' was a partial inspiration with both 'Love Rules' by Don Henley & 'Somebody's Baby' by Jackson Browne both capturing the spirit of highschool teenage angst. 

The lyrical theme is also playing off of George Michael's 'Careless Whispers'.   

And add to that the harmony influence from the pure pop perfection of the Nick Lowe classic 70's gem, 'Cruel To Be Kind'. 

Melancholy Pop

VANITY RULES

I can see you dancing there 
Your broken grin and long blonde hair
Those heartbreaking eyes just burn right through me

You push my heart across the floor
As you hold him close like we did before
And its so hard to bare, as you dance past me

Vanity Rules when a fool believe
Love is a lie that nobody needs
Sometimes you have to give in 
Be willing to lose if you think you can't win
Let go of your pride and look deep inside
It's true, how Vanity Rules

The Dj plays our favorite song
And it feels so right but its all gone wrong
As you dance with your head upon his shoulder

The gym is flashing off and on
As your face lights up and then its gone
As a kiss never lies, I know its over

Vanity Rules when a fool believe
Love is a lie that nobody needs
Sometimes you have to give in 
Be willing to lose if you think you can't win
Let go of your pride and look deep inside
It's true, how Vanity Rules

Vanity Rules when a fool believe
Love is a lie that nobody needs
Sometimes you have to give in 
Be willing to lose if you think you can't win
Let go of your pride and look deep inside
It's true, how Vanity Rules

Title: Give A Little Bit
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin

This is an early songwriting effort and written while still in my high school years before packing up and leaving home to head to the big city.   My high school was located in a rather small town.

Something about setting a deadline and knowing your going to leave that can produce something transformational in a relationship.  

It heightens every emotion.  It makes the 'possibility' more intense ... because you know at the time, there is every possibility those emotions will be lost forever once walking out the door to pursue those dreams that are calling for you somewhere else. 

This song was about giving oneself to the present moment before slipping into the next. 

GIVE A LITTLE BIT

More and More I'm losing my grip 
I've started to slip - into my feelings

You and I - we're feeling too much 
I'm falling in love - Its like I'm dreaming

I want too much - I've got to Give A Little Bit  
Give A Little Bit of My Love

I ask too much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit
Give A Little Bit of My Love

Now I know - I'm too far gone
I can't hold on - The tables turning

Time is time and time doesn't last
It's moving too fast and you're not learning

I ask too much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit
Give A Little Bit of My Love

You mean so much  - I've got to Give A Little Bit  
Give A Little Bit of My Love

{You got my love - The Best of My Love}

Even though I know I can't stay 
I'm going to say - The way I'm feeling 

I know how you feel deep inside 
Love can't be denied - It's like I'm dreaming 

{I love you girl - I'm not gonna fight it - Alright}

I want too much - I've got to Give A Little Bit  
Give A Little Bit of My Love

You mean so much - I'm gonna Give A Little Bit
Give A Little Bit of my love - My Love

An early alternate version of 'Daisy' with the addition of bass and drums added onto the original 4 track demo.   Each added after the initial recording.  The drums were an interesting addition as a drum machine was used and the kit was played by hand in real time.   An effort to extend a bit further the type of production we would be looking for in the studio.

Title: For Now Or Forever
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin

Influenced by Cheap Trick & Enuff Z'nuff.  Both bands that were at times very Beatlesque and drew considerable influence from John Lennon's particular vocal styling and songwriting.

FOR NOW OR FOREVER

If your alone - And need someone to call
Just call me on the phone - And you won't be alone

And if you cry - And need somewhere to hide
I'll be by your side - You won't need to cry

Love me For Now Or Forever
I'm never gonna hurt ya little girl 
Give into love and surrender yourself
Just put some trust into your world

Sometimes you have to let go
It's the only way that you'll ever know
For Now Or Forever

So dry your eyes - Trust yourself tonight
Feel love come alive - Baby dry your eyes
If there's a way - I'll make you want to stay
I'll take your hurt away - Show me there's a way

Love me For Now Or Forever
I'm never gonna hurt ya little girl 
Give into love and surrender yourself
Just put some trust into your world

Sometimes you have to let go
It's the only way that you'll ever know
For Now Or Forever

Forever goodbye - Forever I'll love you
I'll be there when you call my name
I'll be there when you call me
Begging you to call
I'm begging you I don't want to be alone 
Pick up the phone
I'm down here on my own

For Now Or Forever

For Now Or Forever - (Lennon-esque Lo-fi Acoustic Demo)

Title: Still Alone
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Written & Composed by:  James Justin

STILL ALONE

You got a lot on your mind - You tell me lov'in takes time
As much as that's true - I still need you 

You gotta break down this wall - Love don't mean noth'in at all 
With me wait'in outside - My prayers denied

I love you a lot - Love's all I got 
If loves not enough - You're on your own

I can't give no more - So open the door
You want it, it's yours - Still Alone

So give me one good reason - I need to know why your leaving
You got all my love - Why can't that be enough? 

I love you a lot - Love's all I got 
If loves not enough - You're on your own

I can't give no more - So open the door
You want it, it's yours - I'm Still Alone

You just push me away - away when it suits you
You'll never know what its like
Every day to pray for moment 
When everything feels alright

I'm alone in devotion 
I've been the one all along
Can't feel a thing beyond this emotion 
Maybe I was wrong

You got a lot on your mind - You tell me lov'in takes time
As much as that's true - I still need you 

I love you a lot - Love's all I got 
If loves not enough - You're on your own

I can't give no more - So open the door
You want it, it's yours - I'm Still Alone
Stil Alone - I'm Still Alone - Still Alone

I'm Still Alone

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.

"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."
