one more...

Lyrics:

julia:
full of little tragedies
and pharmaceuticals
to keep her here awhile...
until they find their way
inside her brain:
like high-tension wires
soaked with rain...

julia:
calls me in a manic state...
says she's going out the way
she came into my life:
on a white sheet she lies
within inches of her life
-just wishing everyday pain goodbye...

julia:
i know sometimes you've felt betrayed
and who am i to blame you
if you didn't stay around...
rushing up to meet the ground
that seemed so far away
-but now it seems like yesterday...

Cool &mdash 05/22/05 - 05:54:28 AM
.........but very sad! I do like this song.

Such texture &mdash 05/22/05 - 06:42:12 AM
in your lyrics. It would be easy in a song like this to
scratch the surface, but these lyrics take us much deeper,
even though they are relatively brief. I often look for some
redemptive quality in each song, and usually complain if it
is missing, but in this case, no complaints. Another track
for your upcoming CD.

sad whispers &mdash 05/22/05 - 08:59:30 AM
i enjoy the way you nearly whisper vocals ... dramatic
effect works well for lyrics ... guitar chords haunting to
match ... i wish you build intensity more throughout piece
... almost there but not quite ... you start to do this with
strings but needs more build up ... maybe "break" in
middle with contrasting music and a high point? ... like
the material at end when you sing over and over: "every
day, pain" ... but could be earlier ... nice piece though ...

I cry &mdash 05/22/05 - 10:10:44 AM
for the characters in your songs. Be gentle, you always
have my emotions in the palm of your hand

Wonderful &mdash 05/22/05 - 12:13:14 PM
Particularly nice lyrics. I really like the imagery you choose,
like "high-tension wires soaked with rain...". Really well
done all around on this one. Another download for me.

AGAIN &mdash 05/22/05 - 12:24:08 PM
Jonx, PUT YOUR NAME ON IT! I keep downloading your
music and finding that you have left the tags blank; no artist
name or anything. As I've told you before, unless you want
your music to be distributed around the world via the net
without any sort of attribution to yourself (jonx or real name)
then you need to at least PUT YOUR NAME ON IT.

AGAIN &mdash 05/24/05 - 01:35:23 PM
hey pG, what's up w/ these tags? how do i put my name on it? help me out
here!

AGAIN &mdash 05/25/05 - 12:09:55 AM
Unless you found out the answer already...

When you export your song to iTunes, go into iTunes and edit the info right
there. Get something under Artist, Album, and whatever else you want. Also,
make sure the title is the same as what you posted it as at MacJams. I often
post something under a new, better song name, but when downloaded it has
the original name I gave it when I started the project. In other words, a name
that often has nothing to do with the song at all.

Hope this helps. Good song btw.

You can also set Garage Band to automatically put the info in when you export.
You'll find that somewhere in the GB prefs. Because your computer is apparently
setup with the user being called Admin rather than your own name or
something else GB uses the system user name by default if you don't set it
yourself. That's why your songs' tags read Artist: Admin, Album: Admin's
Album.

In iTunes I also like to add a © and an email address into the comments section
of the tags.

Very well done. Excellent playing, singing. All of it.

nice style &mdash 05/22/05 - 08:07:34 PM
Your voice sounds terrific here.
I love how you mixed it not too loud.
Your guitar is quite fresh sounding.

good going

Brilliantly dark and moody &mdash 05/22/05 - 10:29:26 PM
You capture the dark and tragic side of life and make
something beautiful from it.

very sad, very moving...

more big points &mdash 05/23/05 - 07:31:21 AM
You use such a nice palatte of sounds that blends so well
between the bass, guitar and vocals. It gives all your
songs this lovely enclosed, hermetic feel. They're all so
perfectly formed, they deserve a bigger audience.

deep..... &mdash 05/23/05 - 07:34:54 AM
i truly liked the vocal delivery....somber enuff for the
story...the overall volume mix could have been a tad higher
but that does'nt take away from this great song......great
work!......

Ohhh... &mdash 05/26/05 - 01:47:02 AM
Your songs just scoop me up and take me to another
place. I don't know what it is. My brainwaives just move in
harmony with you music. Sounds like a lot of other folks
feel the same way.

great song &mdash 05/28/05 - 09:46:04 AM
you are a wonderful songwriter and singer.
another great piece!

Nice Song &mdash 07/04/05 - 01:51:54 AM
Loved it from a listener (not a song writer). It was really
nice however I wanted to hear the second verse or third
go up in octive and emotion. IMHO I think that would
make it BAM! up a notch.

Gorgeous &mdash 07/19/05 - 05:38:45 AM
Love this. I read the lyrics first and thought it might be a bit like Billy Joel's "Laura". Excellent dude.

[ Reply to This ]
was told of your julia &mdash 02/21/07 - 06:34:58 PM
by Einarus, since one of my songs is similar (and is also about a Julia).

Absolutely glad I did. The lyrics are very well constructed and the laid back performance has such a bittersweet quality. I love that last goodbye. Set me crying.
