“Lost in Seattle”

jamie2 Comments

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

“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)

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

“Like A Wheel”

This is one of my newest songs…and I only half wrote it. The words were gifted to me by one of my BlogTV viewers (Matt Chartrand, aka foApple aka DrawnDead) who emailed me the lyrics after one of my shows.

Thanks man…this is now one of my favorite songs to play.

Like A Wheel – Lyrics

Has your vision come at last,
We keep staring through the glass.
Now youre never going to take,
even the tiniest mistake.
Just the fact that we can’t smile,
I’ll keep holding you a awhile

Until…Now we can see what I cant feel.
Life…keeps spinning round me like a wheel.
Then, the Rain dropped and hit the ground.

Running fast and going slow,
nobodys ever going to know.
Music saved your life before,
now theres so much moreto explore.
Watching clouds beneath your feet,
round we go, doomed to repeat.

The suns goes down then comes the night,
The moon gives comfort in its gentle light.
Fires burning on the ground,
and still its bound to make a sound.
Now shut your eyes and fly,
She whispers softly to yougood-bye.

“Together”

This song was written as a wedding gift for my good friends Charlie and Christina. This performance was recorded during a LIVE BlogTV.com show, and marked the 1st time that they got to hear the song.

It was recorded in HD, using a Canon HG20 camera with a direct audio feed from the soundboard.

Frustration

Sometimes I can’t open my eyes, the day is not my friend
Some days it’s so much harder to try, than it is to just pretend
Everything comes around and always fades away in time
and all the secrets that you hide, haunt my broken rhyme

The path I see before my feet is twisting in my head
The sky may look serene and blue, but I can see it turning red
All around me there is nothing more than barren fallow ground
I’d break these chains of fear and run, but I know you’d track me down

Streams of consciousness, self inflicted medication
Scenes of bitterness, in empty meditation.
Only loneliness is true emancipation
Only everything, insanity…or maybe just frustration.

Set your focus on the prize you hope you’ll someday win
See the ending, from the point of no return where you begin
Only dreams will stand apart from where you once were young
All the anger that you keep inside until that day will come

They say the devil runs this place, and hell is what you make it
Blinding us with fear and bullshit, but we ain’t gonna take it
Give us back our nation, stop treating her like a whore
We’ll teach our children better ways, just like we did before.
