This song I wrote back in 2010 and it's about failed relationships. I don't remember much about the song, it wasn't personal or anything like that, I think Charlie said something about politicians only giving us "Pretty Words & Empty Promises" and I liked that title so later that week I wrote this song. I wanted it to be bittersweet sounding, I was trying to express in music what a broken heart may sound like if it could sing. Charlie really did a good job on this one. One of my prettiest melodies and saddest lyrics. The video follows the lyrics pretty closely and is fairly new, I think I finished it up in March of this year. This is the audio track from the video so you'll hear noises like a pop and such but you'll have to watch the video to see why! I hope everyone enjoys it! Here's the link:

There is never any A.I. ever used in the recording of any of my songs, it's just me and my heart, and Charlie singing it beautifully! Sorry about the clunky piano playing, I'm not a pianist! Thanks for listening and supporting me. It means a lot! Take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“PRETTY WORDS AND EMPTY PROMISES”

YOU BROKE MY HEART WITH THE WORDS THAT YOU SAID,   
IT PAINS ME STILL TO REMEMBER THEM,   
AND EVERY NOW AND AGAIN I DO,
                  
YOU HELD MY WORLD IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND,  
THE ENDLESS LOVE THAT YOU OFFERED ME, 
WAS TO FOREVER BE UNTRUE,
  
SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON,      
JUST WHO’S TO BLAME IS HARD TO SAY,      
LOVE CAN BE A CRUEL GAME TO PLAY,

YOUR PRETTY WORDS AND EMPTY PROMISES, 
WILL HAUNT ME UNTIL THE DAY I DIE,  
AND I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY SHOULD?

SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON,      
JUST WHO’S TO BLAME IS HARD TO SAY,        
LOVE CAN BE A CRUEL GAME TO PLAY,

YOUR PRETTY WORDS AND EMPTY PROMISES,   
WILL HAUNT ME UNTIL THE DAY I DIE, 
AND I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY SHOULD?   
NO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SHOULD?

"PRETTY WORDS AND EMPTY PROMISES"

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS!** 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, 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'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!👍😎✌🏼.
