Wow JJ man, this is captivating! Wonderful composition, strings, and rhythm section by Roy Roy, and delightful performances by you on the keys. Both of your voices are great, as are your lyrics. Excellent collab, brother man!

Awesome tune guys.  Really nice work. Everything sounds great.

Awesome singing and melody, R2!! Love the percussion as well!!! Great snare pop!! Love it! You and J2 make a great duo!!!🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations to both of you, gentlemen! A new classic of pop rock music has just been born. A delightful track!!! Perfectly done! Love the lyrics, too! Wow! 😎🔥

Really wonderful lyrics - “happiness not a place, a choice” (I’ve heard variations but still), and some really evocative singing man, emphasized by JJ's sweet backing. Just love the arrangement - the way a section ends and the next one subtly starts. The drum track & percussion is very much like the kind of stuff I would do back in the day, and I LOVE all the instrumentation in this - sweet piano, the acoustic guitar that’s sometimes gentle, sometimes more percussive, great and very memorable melody on the sax solo, and that warm organ sound. It’s really excellent RoyRoy and so well put together. bravo you guys!

Beautiful track that just keeps getting better as the song progresses

Oh guys! This is so wonderful! Love this song in every way.

One Stone At A Time

In The Labariinth.

Sometimes it feels like we’re two old young lovers
We break up to avoid embarrassing promises
We get back together and the cycle repeats
And the clock keeps on ticking and the years slip away

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We’re two uncertain hunters on a futile quest
Searching for the lost ark looking for the address
We’re two supporting actors looking for a leading role 
But most nights we’re just hunker down in our fox hole

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re still hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We see ourselves as young brilliant story tellers
But as we tell our tales, we repeat ourselves
Sometimes we’re tossed about by insignificant whirlwinds
We feel as precarious as crumbling towers

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We break up to avoid embarrassing promises 
That we never intended to keep
But then we get back together again 
Cause this hole that we dug is so deep

Sometimes we’re riding on the shoulders of giants
Other times we’re completely self-reliant

Some days it feels like we’re in control
Other days it feels like it’s just a dice roll

Sometimes we’re as strong as a young climbing flower
Other times it feels like we’re losing our power

We’re two old young lovers who don’t want face the truth
We’re two old young lovers trying to cling to our youth

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking, but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip
Two old young lovers and we’re joined at the hip

LYRICS by J.J.  

We have lost ourselves
Breathe, ever deeply
Believe you've got this now
Heaven bound, yes thankfully

All my life
Happiness has existed somewhere else
Finding out that it was always near me
In the heart's watch - the time, it tells

Ooooohh
One leg in yesterday
One leg in tomorrow

I have found myself
Thinking that life could be so much more
And only if the stars were aligned
Just so

Chasing a carrot on a stick
Catching it - there isn't any hope
Why can't I just look inside of me
Happiness is not a place, it's a choice!

ooooooohs
One leg in yesterday
One leg in tomorrow
Pissing all over today!!

When the Music Starts ( J.J. Terrell & RoyRoy )

Words and Music Dave Rose

A song for compulsive liars who happily spiral downward in a web of deceit. It usually catches up eventually.
Lyrics
You’ll need a glimpse of brilliance to lie your way out of this 
Cos by your own high standards 
You’ve created quite a mess 

So why don’t you try the truth 
You might even find it suits you 
Or is that whole idea just lost on you 

So a glimpse of brilliance is what your gonna need
To convince yourself and everyone else 
Of this web of deceit

So why don’t you try the truth 
You might even find it suits you 
Or is that whole idea just lost on you 

What goes round you it comes around 
And what goes up must come down…..
