“Your music shows a strong sense of growth and refinement—impressive work.”

A great song Jimmy, watched your nice video too…

Really nice song, Jim. I used to read a lot when I was younger but not much since the iPhone. The Internet is full of distractions, which isn’t always a good thing. Reading a book transports you to your own unique world, as each person visualizes a different picture in their mind we really all should be doing more reading

Hey Jeff man, as a very avid reader myself, I love the theme of this one. I recently read an article, I think it was in the Washington Post, about declining rates of reading and even reading proficiency. Couldn't agree more that knowledge is the right resistance to authoritarianism, which is why it's discouraged by the toxic waste that's running (ruining) this country. You think Trump has ever read a book cover to cover in his life? Hey my friend, this is outstanding work. Way to go with it!

Lovely song, Jimmy! I love to read books, and I think i will always do.  I have written many poems, and when I was younger I had a dream of making poems books... Instead I went to write lyrics to sing :) Great job!

Lyrics:

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

Fake Little Birds

Today, 22nd. August 2025, marks 13 years since our dear brother Bri succumbed to the deadly combination of leukaemia and Guillain-Barré syndrome.  Watching him through 2012, unable to do anything for himself and increasingly confined to a hospital bed is something none who loved him will ever forget.  
He has never been (and never will be) forgotten, not only for the music he created but for the force of nature he most certainly was.  In 1964, our Mum & Dad bought him an entry level acoustic guitar as a Christmas present and his progress on the instrument was something to behold.  By the time he was 18, he’d bought himself a Gibson Les Paul on HP (24 payments of five pounds and thirteen shillings per month) from Selmers in Charing Cross Road, London.  He joined a band, somehow co-opting me in as lead singer at the tender age of 15 (still a schoolboy, no less) and over the ensuing ten years, formed bands of whose line-up I was always a part, graduating from singing to percussion and eventually drums.
There being guitars laying around the family home, Tel took to playing and encouraged by Bri, never stopped.  Fast forward another five years and he too started writing songs so that by ’82, the 3 of us decided to form a band (Root Division) to play them.  It’s a truly special thing to be in the same band as your brothers and recording those songs became something Tel and me still remember with an abiding nostalgia.  No wonder we still talk about those days…
This song started life as an instrumental, written by Hans and of course, it’s brilliant as is but Tel liked it so much, he asked if he could write some lyrics and a vocal melody.  Being a generous fellow, our dear friend from Hamburg said he’d love to hear what Tel had in mind.
His basic idea was to incorporate as many references as he could to Cripple Club tracks, in celebration of the firm friendship we have formed in together recording what amounts to over 50 songs.  There may be a few of you who can spot one or two…
So this is for you, Bri.  We love and miss you, sweet brother.

Last Summer day reasons
Hamburg always shines
Shadows of Superheroes
Another surprise will come in time
Click toward a pension
From birth but never knew
Surprised to find a blackbird
In the flames as the music grew

Touch wood for satisfaction
CC music every day
Root of strong existence 
Step off the world to feed the phrase
Another Titan message
Titanic stories past
Image of a fraying edge
Never thought hang of time would last

It’s the time, it’s the place
It’s the only performance I can show my face

Last chance for singing
Avoid resistant tide
Pleasing distant garage
Remember 4 to 3 to 5
Stars in space that linger
Soaking up the blue
Palette of sunshine yellow
Mix to green for go - but for who?

T,G & H, Two and you!

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

When I go out I might meet other men
But you don't have to be blue
No one is like you
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

If I look at others, and maybe not just you
I don't look at beauty
You are the only one for me
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

When you're having a bad day and feel like crap
Well, I think you're awesome
Prettier than everyone
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Lyrics:

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

When I go out I might meet other men
But you don't have to be blue
No one is like you
Big blue eyes 
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

If I look at others, and maybe not just you
I don't look at beauty
You are the only one for me
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

When you're having a bad day and feel like crap
Well, I think you're awesome
Prettier than everyone
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes 
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't  ruin it with jealousy!

Proof that hesitation has a better groove than commitment.

The Snow Queen - The Forest

This is a another song written during the pandemic in 2022. It's about the joy of reading! I know we don't read hardly anymore that's why we are pretty ignorant about science and math, look it up, don't take my word for it!! I still enjoy reading, it sparks my creativity, and opens up my imagination! It's really fabulous the trips we can make with our imagination by just reading. I whipped up seveal tales and weaved them all together into a Rock song. It is also about what happens to unread books that just turn to dust on our shelves. (Read H.G. Wells "The Time Machine" or at least watch the 1960 film!). I guess we will soon have no need for libraries!  Just I-phones! This is an adventure song, my Indiana Jones song!  

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/2R-hnrBwiDQ

      The video is brand new with loads of eye-candy for everybody. I thnk I finished it a few months ago. It'll take you on several exciting adventures!! I hope people enjoy it, we must continue to read books because when we stop reading books, then we will stop having independent thought and we become nothing more than brain dead sheep!  I'm sure that's what some evil people actually want! (Look what they did to Jimmy Kimmel!!). Read a book before they censor them and take them away! Take a look, crack a book, I guarenteed that you'll get hooked! Take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“UNREAD BOOK”

READ ME WHILE YOU CAN,     
I MIGHT JUST TURN TO DUST AND CRUMBLE IN YOUR HANDS,   
BUT I'LL NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME,               
LET ME PROVE TO YOU,    
I'M MORE THAN BORING WORDS DOWN POINTLESS AVENUES,      
I'M ALWAYS WORTH A SECOND LOOK, 
               
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,         
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,
  
READ ME, IF YOU CARE,    
WE'LL GO TO PLACES WHERE YOUR HEART WOULD NEVER DARE,      
IN A JOURNEY OF THE MIND,    
LEAVE IT UP TO ME,   
ALL YOU NEED IS THE YEARNING AND THE COURAGE TO BELIEVE,
JUST ONE LOOK WILL GET YOU HOOKED,
                       
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,           
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,     
     
A TRIP TO THE MOON OR AN ADVENTURE AT SEA,              
LET MY WORDS SET YOUR MIND FREE,                
A ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS OR BUBBLE BATH BY CANDLELIGHT,
A CHRISTMAS DAY OR AN ARABIAN NIGHT,
            
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK, 

IF YOU'RE LONELY, COUNT ON ME,  
THERE'S NO END OF THE ROAD ONLY POSSIBILITIES,   
IMAGINATION'S ALL IT TOOK,
             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK.

**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!👍😎✌🏼.
