Borderline

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This Unreleased Track was recorded mainly around April of 2020, in my home studio.

You can now buy digitally "Unreleased (2018-2020) Vol. I", which is the album where this track is featured, by simply following this link : https://tinyurl.com/yck4mnaa

Lament (Unreleased Track)

Joe T. Johnson is back with is spectacular new single 'Twist' available everywhere now! - Recorded over a couple of wildly productive days, produced by Lewis Bradshaw and mastered by Pete Maher (Patti Smith, Jack White, Rolling Stones, Liam Gallagher) 'Twist' was recorded taking a DIY, vintage organic approach which complements Joe's creative process

Twist

‘Love's Not Enough’ gets straight to the point, as a rapid trance of recurrent electric guitar riffs and an addictively relentless beat dominates the senses. Davis’ vocals emerge from a time decades past, resonating with an echoing intensity that peaks in the chorus alongside synthesised specks of nostalgic indie-pop in the form of flying synths and running percussion.

A new inquisitive guitar layer joins the mix, moving towards a grungy bridge featuring head moving beats and metallic riffs, before gravelly desperation sneaks into Davis’ voice, a final glance in the rearview mirror before leaving the past behind.

Reflecting on an ended relationship, Davis brings his distinctive lyrical maturity to ‘Love's Not Enough', reaching insightful conclusions that can hopefully provide some closure, as he states:

"As the title suggests, the song is about the fact that sometimes even the forces of love aren’t strong enough to hold two together."

Unsurprisingly, the band’s previous releases have seen support from US College Radio, National broadcaster IndieXL (Netherlands), Triple J, Double J, Triple J Unearthed, Scenestr, LA On Lock, Backseat Mafia, theMusic, Pilerats, XPress Magazine, Junction Records, RTRFM, FBi Radio, 4ZZZ, 3RRR and more, as well as being nominated for the WAM Rock Song of the Year in 2020. The group have also played coveted support and festival slots including RTRFM flagship event In The Pines, WAMFest and the inaugural WAY WAY WEST Festival.

Lyrics
Everything hurts on the inside 
But there’s no point talking about it
There’s no point talking at all
Cause’ everytime I try to phone you
Nobody answers my call

Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 

Everything hurts on the outside 
But there’s no point talking about it
There’s no point talking at all
Cause’ everyone’s breathing different air to what I breathe
I feel like I’m not breathing at all 

Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 

I write down my feelings and I burn them
I wish I could show you how I feel
Seems I’m incapable in relaying what is real
Why can’t I talk about it 
Why can’t you talk about it
Why can’t we talk about it
Why can’t I talk about it
Why can’t you talk about it
Why can’t we talk about it  

Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is 
Just call it what it is

Call It What It Is

- lyrics -

wake up
get out the bed
thinking bout this shit in my head
hurts so much
wish i was dead
looking back like
what was said?


overthinking everything i hate

(swear that i hate it all)

i been scheming ways to get away


people think im hopeless
think im broken
think i never give a shit

(i dont care about this shit, i really hate it)

if they ever notice
i was moping
i was lost in the abyss

(everyday i really try but shit aint changing)

sometimes i was grabbing for the rope
but then my mama made me quit

(people saying that they care but you cant make em)

trapped inside a ocean
i cant swim
im just falling in

(think i really lost my mind, i cant be thinking)


what was your plan this whole damn time?
thinking bout this shit, it hurts my mind
i wish that i could go back and press rewind
lot of demons in my life and they aint kind


wake up
whered you go?
searching for you everywhere
but theres no hope
i was dead
all along
i didnt notice 
til i saw my bones

wake up
get out the bed
thinking bout this shit in my head
hurts so much
wish i was dead
looking back like
what was said?

thnx @user-448800979 for the cover

what a waste

I used to be afraid of my mind 
And being left alone with whatever I found
But now I’m more afraid of what I won’t find 
And all that’s left will end up letting you down
They say if you remain very still
And hold your breath for as long as you can
And by some miracle you don’t reveal
All the fear you’re holding where you stand

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I guess I’ll have to chase and corner it
If i wanna catch me some more self-esteem
I always thought you had to be born with it
But maybe that was just Maybelline

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

Dinosaur
