Here's a very special song & video! It was a collobaoration with Olga V. Glushakova from VerAeternum. I wrote the lyrics and she wrote the music, sang it, perfromed it, arranged it, basically did everything else! Check out her channel on YouTube, it's amazing! She is a magnificent songwriter and performer! A natural star! Link below!

  I sent Olga like 5 lyrics and she picked this one to compose the music for and did a great job! I love what she did to bring my lyrics to life! I had offered these lyrics to other musicans before but what she did with them was nothing short of fantastic! It was a wonderful experience, she's the best! As far as the lyrics go, they are quite simple and reflect all things about love and how when you're in love it's everywhere you look. On the billboards, in the movies, in a book, it's in the air!! Olga made it itno a modern sounding song! I think it's great and her and her team did a superb job with it.

I added a little musical build up at the begining of the video and then mixed her video into it. I hope everyone enjoys it and goes over to her channel and subscribe and support Olga, she is an amazing artist! Thanks for watching and take care everyone!

“I DON’T CARE WHY"

IT’S UP THERE ON BILLBOARDS,    
IN EACH BALLADEER’S SONG,   
AT CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,      
OR JUST DRIVING ALONG, 
WHENEVER I’M CLOSE TO YOU,    
I FEEL IT STIRRING INSIDE,  
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT,     
IN STORMY OR SUNNY SKIES,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,        
      
WHILE DRINKING MY COFFEE,    
WHILE READING A BOOK,   
IT’S IN EVERY MOVIE,   
WHEREVER I LOOK,    
THAT FEELING COMES OVER ME,    
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,    
CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE IT,     
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,     
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,

WHILE I'M TAKING A SHOWER,  
HAVING MY LUNCH AT NOON,    
AT THE TOP OF EACH HOUR,    
IN EVERY PHASE OF THE MOON,   
WHAT A STRANGE ODD SENSATION,   
THERE’S JUST NOWHERE TO HIDE,    
I GUESS I’M IN LOVE?     
THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,      
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,    
NO I DON'T CARE WHY,     
DON'T REALLY CARE WHY,    
I JUST DON'T CARE WHY.

I hope you will enjoy listening......

Thank you for your time here....

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.

Welcome, everybody.
