Babe, fuck a fast car, we ain't goin' nowhere.
The end of us ain't far, and I refuse to care.
We pretend we're par, lost within the glare
of what we feel while high, as if nothing else compares to you. 

Mate it’s great you stay in touch 
Cos just like me I think you smoke a little bit too much
And it’s lovely to believe, there’s another one of me
Living over there but that one’s got more hair

notimistic dopplegangbang (with Harmful if Followed)

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!

      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.

Une Histoire

FEARS FOR DREAM

lyrics

You talk about me yeah
You said that I was the problem
You told your friends that
You said that I wouldn't holla
We texted everyday
We talked whenever
You talk about me yeah
You talk about me
They believe the words you say
They believe I'm not here to stay
They believe the words you say
I'm packing my bags today

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

When I can't sleep at night
It's you I'm yearning for
Why can't we get this right
I'm trying to not walk out that door
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying the bad things that you say
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying that things won't go our way
Let's try one more time

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

I Thought Wrong

'strike two'

scotty: acoustic pearl export, epiphone casino, fender squire 3/4 bass. Just blowing off some steam, y'all. 

strike two

an older tune I cleaned up a bit
it is a tribute to actor, singer, dancer, artist, and author Russ Tamblyn, who turns 91 in December.

I wrote the song around the time I retired from my  medical career. So  along with references to  Russ and childhood memory, there are veiled allusions to this strange  new exciting but a bit unsettling life circumstance in the lyric.

As per Russ 
He danced and acted in Westside story  and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers most famously but was in a bunch of movies in the 50s and 60s.. and ....my favourite as a kid was the War of the Gargantuas, which  for Russ was a creative low point ..but  it got him to Japan
opening clips from WotG...the middle and end clips from his movie Highschool Confidential



PS The line in the last verse Words stuck in my throat..lifted from the song The Words Get Stuck in My Throat From the movie War of the Gargantuas...sung by the wonderful Kipp Hamilton who has to contend with a Gargantua groupie..dont worry she survived....clip of the song in the movie is here

Devo did a cover of it years later


Russ Tamblyn

I'll get a Tokyo life                             
Say some words off the script          
Monsters in play                                
Career gone adrift                               
I can make it in spite                          
Of the way they dub my lines              

I'll sail to the East
Maybe take me a bride
Dance out regret
Act up with pride
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Let me do it brother, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day

I wanna be cool
I’d like to be strong
A fighter who dances
A singer of songs
Add some rhythm 
Put some muscle on these rhymes 

The streets of the West
I'll be taking a side
Living forever 
This world’s opened wide
Let me do it
Let me do it
Let me do it, what do you say?
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day 

In 1970                                         
I saw him on the TV screen        
With those creatures, one             
brown, one green                         
My Gargantuan celluloid dream   

They said I could bail    
I’d much rather swim
Head above water
Life on a whim
I can make it in spite
Of their doubts and their goodbyes

Words stuck in my throat
What's left to say?
There's only myself
I can't stay away
Let me do it 
Let me do it
Permit me if I may
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day
My little boy brain wants to be Russ Tamblyn for a day





Russ Tamblyn(the Ballad of the HotR)

lovely days in portland

Velvet Nights slides like silk in low light breathy horns, velvet-thick bass, mellow strings, and hip-hop pulse under a soul vocal. Candlelight flickers, temptation hums, and the groove keeps you just this side of confession.

**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!👍😎✌🏼.
