Earnest, honest, and bittersweet but still elegant. Rock solid guitar playing and nice job showing the emotion in your voice without letting it take you out of the performance. Very nicely done.

I need to be clear
I've got your heart on my fingertips.
Just wanna be real
I need to slow down to feel what I need.

Let go of my body
so I can reach out to my heart.
I'm lost in my own sweet nothing,
don't let me break your heart
so stop me before I start.

You need no chains
to keep me wrapped in your arms.
All I need is some space,
and I'll keep on coming back for more,
I'll come back for more.

You need to breathe,
get out of the water 'cause you gotta see.
I need to be free,
but not free enough to keep you far away from me.

Let go of my body
so I can reach out to my soul
and see where this should go.
Get out of my own sweet nothing,
don't wanna let you go so stop me before you're gone.

James Tristan Redding - Ten Ton Crush (10/19/16)

We started this game that we're playing so long ago
I never wanted to say that you had to go
Ain't it funny how life  knocks you down when you are low
Leaves you naked and standing on stage before the show

Girl I know you and me would have quite the ball
You would soon have me feeling like I'm 10 feet tall
But sooner or later that other shoe has to fall
I could never just have you once
So I better not have you at all

The heart is a lonely hunter is what we were told
It can leave you empty and hollow till the day you grow old
Leave you wondering just what you were doing wasting your time
But time is the one thing that never let you be mine

Genuine Acoustic

Have You At All

Here's to Romance
or: The Porcupine's Dilemma

Act IV, Part II

Recycled Man:

Please don't kill the lights
I don't want to sleep tonight
Is there anything that I could say
To make you want to stay
I make a promise, hold her hand
Reminds me of my old man
Every time that he'd get clean
He would say to me

Never stop your desire
Never ever stop, carry the fire

They all come from miles around
And meet up in the church downtown
Johnny grabs a seat and frowns
And sits down in the circle
When it's time for him to stand
He says "Hello my name is John
They call me the recycled man
And I'm an alcoholic"

Never stop your desire
Never ever stop, carry the fire

Jane doesn't see what's wrong
With settling down and giving up
I'd rather chase the dawn
Than put myself to sleep
She wants the kind of man
Who crushes spiders in his hands
But I don't know if I can change
Or if I even want to
Never stop your desire...

Carry The Fire

Man On The Moon

Julia's song for week 42 of #songaweek2016. Like many of these weekly songs, I'd probably prefer to add another verse and make it a bit longer, but here's what I've got so far :) 
Photograph by Nathan Bloom.

I waited all night in the pouring rain
just to give you your umbrella back
and when the paper lady stopped and rolled her window down
I nearly had a heart attack

I'm a shy girl, it's true
just shy of you

I like to imagine that we're holding hands
underneath a cloudless sky
but I'm lost in this fog 'cause I can't even dream
of looking you in the eye

I'm a shy girl, it's true
just shy of you

I even tried to make a deal with the devil
but the devil didn't notice me

I'm a shy girl, it's true
just shy of you

Shy Girl
