I went to an open mic last night…played a few songs and met a few new friends…Andrew, Brian, Valerie good to meet you guys. I’m going to have to do that more often…maybe there’ll be a bit more of an audience next time…js.

I am working on a video for “Lost In Seattle” to get it up on YouTube for tomorrow as well. I still can’t remember all the words…lol. Don’t tell anyone you see me peeking at the lyrics on film. sshhhhh! 😉

Hope to see everybody tomorrow night on the big show…be sure to sign up and subscribe here so you can get all the announcements (no spam…promise!)

peace, jamie

“Lost in Seattle”

Hey guys…here’s the lyrics to my latest song which I’ll be playing for the first time on tonight’s show on BlogTV. ( http://blogtv.com/people/jamiegray )

Enjoy and I hope I see y’all there!

Lost in Seattle

It could’ve been anywhere, back in 1995
Was one of the last shows when Capt. Trips was still alive
I was walking around all day down on Shakedown Street
Nothin’ but rainbows and smiles from everyone I’d meet

She was so beautiful, just like that summer day
She quenched my thirst, and gave me a hug as I walked away
‘Bout an hour or so later, I was feelin’ mighty fine
As the sun went down all the colours and rainbows started dancin’ through my mind

Later on in the evening, the drums beating ever loud
Fires burning everywhere, and I got so lost in the crowd
Lost everything and everyone that I knew that afternoon
Found myself lyin’ under a tree howlin’ up at the moon

Next thing I remember I was falling thru a hole in time
Had to get back to the way it was…I went looking for a sign
Maybe flying in a yellow taxicab the Needle dancing in the wind
With the gentle chime of a silver bell and I was back on the ground again

…Chorus…..
And in the darkness, following a broken rainbow
And in the night time I was stumbling through the streets
All the answers…so close that I can almost reach them
Lost in the Seattle night

hey y’all…just a quick update.

things have been crazy around here, and i’ve barely been able to make it to my thursday night show each week…i haven’t missed it yet though! things are winding down a bit now, so hopefully i’ll be back more on the music track soon.

this fall i’m working on putting a road trip together…hopefully pull some gigs together and get to meet some of my cool friends from BlogTV. also working on a couple of new songs…i may try to play the newest song this week on the show…working title “lost in seattle”. any of you who joined me on the live broadcast from the car coming back from boston might have an idea what that’s about. lol.

…and hopefully this will be the LAST thursday without a new video release…i think i’ve missed three in a row now…what a damn slacker.

keep listening and tuning into BlogTV and i hope to see you down the road.

peace, jamie

“Anything” (Original Song)

Here’s the latest YouTube video. This was actually just a jam that turned into a new song. I had to listen to it quite a few times before deciding to release it.

The words were really just an improv and I wasn’t sure I really liked it…but after a a long debate, I decided to let YOU decide.

I hope you enjoy it…let me know what you think.

peace,
jamie

6 String Belief (Son Volt Cover)

jamieLeave a comment


This is one of my favorite Son Volt songs, and I think Jay Farrar is one of my favorite songwriters…so it’s fitting that this gets to be my first cover song posted here.

Thanks to MyDeath420 for the idea.

I hope y’all enjoy. peace, jamie

“Everytime You Fall”

jamieLeave a comment


I recorded this song during a BlogTV broadcast…and I did a good job of mangling the actual words and making up a few new ones to fit. It felt good while I was playing it though, so I decided to share it.

The actual lyrics are below…enjoy!

Every Time You Fall

Well Ive been thinking about a lot of things lately
You know I really cant say why
And Ive been thinking about all the things I used to know
Ive been wondering if it aint just a great big lie

Then the sun comes up and the moon goes down
And I wonder if it means anything at all
And the one thing that you know is it gets a little harder
Holding back the tears, from every time you fall

Well Ive been laughing about the things I find funny
But Im really trying not to cry
And Ive been wondering about the reasons for the suffering
In between the time when were born and die

Then the sun goes down and the moon will hide
And the darkness of the night makes you feel so small
And the one that you know is it gets a little harder
Every time youre getting up from every time you fall

Well Ive been dreaming about tomorrow just a little bit
Brighter than the day before
And Ive been praying for peace and a little understanding
Just a little less hunger, a little less war

Then the sun goes down and the missiles fly
Or a car blows up, some bodys children dying
And the one thing that you know is it gets a little harder
Holding back the tears from every time you fall

“Slip Away”

I wrote this song quite a few years ago, about one of those relationships that come and go so quickly….before you even know you were in it.

I tried to keep the footage pretty simple and raw…somehow it seemed better that way. I hope you agree.
