YOUNG - Autumn Sky

You, the one, how your eyes burn like coal
In the corner you were watching, never letting go
And I was the one trying not to attract attention like that
But your gaze just won’t leave me alone
Leave me alone, I can’t deny that it just won’t
And that I don’t, don’t really object
I’m tired of this set, tired of knowing what people expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize

And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who’s that? Your friend? 
Let’s just pretend

Oooh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah

Now I, the one, sitting all on my own
Waiting for an opportunity to go
But you draw me in with your beautiful words
You ease on my hurts and your heartbeat won’t leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
I can’t deny that it just won’t
And that I don’t, don’t really object
I’m tired of this set
Tired of knowing what you all expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize

And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who’s that? Your friend? 
Let’s just pretend

Oooh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah

It feels like it’s happening anew
You just forget what it feels like to have somebody else want you
It feels like falling fast in love again
And I’d rather sink than swim
It may be crazy, but it feels so right…

And I just wanna be young for the night
I just wanna be young for the night

I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young
I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young…

I just wanna be (just wanna be) xrepeat a few times

Young For The Night - Autumn Sky

All Good, thanks

Common music industry questions asked to JTSunrise with responses:

Response (JTSunrise): “i respect and study musical heritage, i’m also open to experimentation. My Gen X Folkspunk and Seattle Americana pays homage to the past while adding my twisted twist”

Question: How do you handle community engagement?
Response (JTSunrise): “Community matters. As a licensed busker, i connect with people on the streets. Music isn’t about stages; it’s about moments”

Question: What’s your approach to affordability for fans?
Response (JTSunrise): “i keep my rates reasonable. Music should be accessible. A live show of real deal acoustic tunes shouldn’t break anyone’s bank” I mostly give it away

Question How do you deal with annoying music interviews if the interviewer is a jackass?
Response (JTSunrise): “Simple, tell the truth:
1. What is your creative process like when writing and recording music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “A cosmic dance of creation! When i write, i sit under moonlit trees, strum my guitar to owls, let stardust melodies flow. Recording? Well, i channel wave energy into my microphone. It’s all about capturing radiation.”
2. How do you stay inspired and motivated to create music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Meteor showers, the way leaves rustle, owls. Motivation comes from the background hum of the universe. i listen to it with a cup of chai”
3. Describe a time when you had to collaborate with other musicians on a project.
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Had a jam session on Saturn’s rings. We traded riffs like shooting stars. Collaboration? It’s like harmonizing with comets—unexpected mysteries and white celestial light majik magic”
4. Do you have experience performing live? If so, what techniques do you use to engage the audience?

3. What would you do if asked to perform an unfamiliar song?

La Luz - Strange World

Ein Gute-Laune-Song über schwesterliche Liebe. Hier der Text:

Beschde (Lilli A. & Anna-Elea)

Na, nana, na, na.

Ich steh‘ an Deiner Seite,
kein Weg ist mir zu weit.
Für jede Form von Unfug
bin ich jederzeit bereit.

Herz gebrochen. Du hilfst mir auf,
wenn ich am Boden liege. 
So viele Menschen,
viel zu wenig Liebe!

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag,
weißt wie‘s mir geht, selbst
wenn ich gar nix sag.

Na, nana, na, na.

Mancher Glücksmoment mag
vielleicht einmal vergehen.
Doch in unserer Erinnerung
bleibt er ewig bestehen.

Schwesternzweisamkeit
wir kichern asynchron.
Es ist uns ganz egal.
Die Leute gucken schon.

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag.
Hab ich Dir heut schon gesagt,
dass ich Dich mag?

Du bist die Beschde,
hast mein Humor.
Jeder Moment mit Dir
ist besser als davor.

Na, nana, na, na.

Das Leben ist zu kurz für irgendwann.
Dann lass uns leben im Hier und Jetzt.
Es muss nicht perfekt sein,
sondern nur echt.

Du bist die Beschde
an jedem Tag.
Hab ich Dir heut schon gesagt,
dass ich Dich mag?

Du bist die Beschde,
soll ich’s buchstabier´n?
damit die Norddeutschen
es auch kapier’n.

Na, nana, na, na.

Beschde

JTSunrise Rendition of St. James Infirmary

Slow Blues, 60bpm 4/4

[Refrain]

Dm                    A7              Dm
I went down to St. James Infirmary 
Bb7 A7 Bb7 A7 Dm
To see my Baby there
                        Dm                     A7                 Dm
They had Her stretched-out on a marble table 
Bb7    A7 Bb7 A7 Dm
Asleep, so cold, so fair

[Verse]

             Dm                      A7                Dm
Let her go, You let Her go, God you let Her
Bb7    A7 Bb7 A7 Dm 
Wherever You may be
                Dm                                  A7                 Dm
Couldn’t never look this whole-world wide-over
Bb7    A7 Bb7 A7 Dm
Find a girl half as sweet

[Verse]

            Dm                 A7                     Dm
Gonna bury Her in Her strait-laced boots 
             Dm             A7                 Dm
In Her  walk’n coat and Cloche’ hat
          Dm                    A7            Dm
Put a twenty-dollar bill in Her coin-purse 
        Bb7                    A7   Bb7 A7 Dm
So She’ll know She died standin' pat

An American folk song about going to St. James Infirmary to retrieve a deceased lover. The song evolved over time and potentially from British origins in the 1800s, roots can be traced to the early jazz and blues era in New Orleans. Lyrics and melody were adapted and rearranged by numerous artists over centuries and emerged from a blend of folk, blues, and jazz. It’s popularity grew through oral traditions, diverse interpretations, and legendary performances 

Marble tables were practical for hygiene in morgues due to their white, durable, and non-porous characteristics. The thermal mass of a thick marble stone slab table allowed for temperature retention—ideal for icing in warm climates or maintaining an ambient cool surface in morgues which were typically located in medical facility basements

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, fashionable women dressed in tailored jackets, walking coats, and tailored suits. Garments were designed to be fashionable and practical. Popular was the tailor-made suit, which consisted of a matching jacket and skirt. Suits could have varied styles, including fitted jackets with defined waists and skirts. A walking coat was characterized by its length and suitability for outdoor activities. Women's fashion during this period saw a shift towards more tailored and practical clothing

Unlike higher heels of previous decades, shoes in the 1920s often had lower, practical heels to reflect the era’s active style. Boots had lace-up designs, providing a snug fit around the ankle and calf. This style allowed women to participate in energetic social activities. A stif pointed-toe contributed to a sleek and modern look and had defensive advantages. Boots were made of leather or fabric. Suede and patent leather being also popular

A Cloche (“bell” in French) is a bell-shaped fitted hat that became fashionable in the 1920s, complementing shorter hairstyles of the time

"Standing pat", a poker term meaning to keep one's hand as dealt without drawing additional cards, suggests the idea of a person being content and staying true until the end

In 1927 Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra were first to record the song under: "Gambler's Blues", crediting Carl Moore and Phil Baxter’s “St. James' Infirmary”. The song became more popular after Armstrong's comedic 1928 recording which mocked more emotionally serious versions. By 1930 at least twenty different recordings had been released. The Duke Ellington Orchestra recorded the song multiple times under names like "The Ten Black Berries", "The Harlem Hot Chocolates", and "The Jungle Band”. In 1933, Cab Calloway's version was released in a classic Betty Boop cartoon and his instrumental version featured Calloway's related hit song - Minnie the Moocher. Irving Mills managed both Calloway and Ellington. Mills Music published both artists

St. James Infirmary

Surely I love living in obscurity 
Although I'll admit it does hurt to be
Living purposefully 
And have only few observing me 
Only a few notice 
Its true not self-loathing 
Just showing 
How its going 
In my dome 
When I'm flowing 
As I go in 
How am I'm posing a threat?
With no notoriety yet 
For real 
I feel peace within me still 
Guess I benefit in ways that isnt 
In the form of riches 
Or the baddest bitches 
Today I still got beautiful women 
In my life 
That dont give me a headache 
So maybe I'm doing something right
I'm grateful and thankful for everyday 
To pull rank on the mic 
Is time to entice with ideas 
That free us
Thats why I write every night 
And morning 
Most of what my pen's exploring 
Isn't meant for recording 
What does get recorded 
I deem to be more important 
For the listener 
Into wisdom within words 
Worth the effort 
To go and connect 
Oh yes
My dream's to become 
The greatest version of me
Some will never see what I mean 
And that's fine
Those who keep up when I speed up
Know I seize every single one of these 
Opportunities to freeze time 
I kept believing in me 
To be the MC to redefine 
What it means 
To be living out ones dreams 
Without dollars and cents 
Being the end goal 
My form of riches comes from 
Inner tranquility and a soul 
That remains whole 
All day and night long 
That's right y'all 
I'm on a mission 
Industry gimmicks 
Couldn't mimic 
Even if they wished to 
The difference 
Between me and them 
Is I spit truth 
To uplift you
The respect and money's coming
Though it hasn't just yet 
Regardless 
That wasn't what sparked 
This interest in my heart 
To become a great artist 
Who read the signs to play his part
Laying smart remarkable remarks 
From the start 
My art becomes apart of you 
Is this just lust 
Or something above 
Closer to love 
You be the judge 
While I keep it up 
Adjust to verbal agility 
Your feeling 
The RaRitys revealing 
Energy healing the scene 
Believing freedom lies within me
And you
Once we learn to let go 
Life gets special
Got to learn to let go 
For life to get special 
Learn to let go
For life to get special 
I've been trying to tell you 
We gotta learn to let go
For life to get special 
Oh yeah I'm saying 
I came into the game in a way 
Few anticipated 
Displaying greatness in statements
So cave into the most creative cadence 
Claiming 
You got learn to let go 
For life to get special 
Yeah
Learn to let go
Then life gets special 
Just trying to let you know 
Got to learn to let go 
For life to get special
