Working

Just wanted to stop by and leave a quick note here to let everyone know that I'm working real hard to get the music and the right group of songs together for the CD!
I really thank all of you who are giving me some really great insight on the songs and also letting me know what some of your favorites are! It's always great to get objective opinions, as most of us Musicians and Songwriters are extremely hard on ourselves. When it comes to our music, we are definitely our own worse critics! But there is one great thing about Rock 'N' Roll, it has never been and is never meant to be perfect...so that makes it a lot easier! lol! Have a Great Night Everyone and God Bless You and in the Words of The Great Rock Band Kiss "God Gave Rock 'N" Roll To You" "God Bless Rock 'N' Roll"

Me & My Music

HEY EVERYONE! HOPE ALL IS WELL. BEFORE I CONTINUE WRITING I HAVE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE TREMENDOUS RESPONSE I HAVE RECEIVED FOR THE SONGS I HAVE ON WWW.MYSPACE.COM/JACKSTEVENSROCKS IT HAS BEEN VERY HUMBLING AND I WILL KEEP ON WORKING SO I GET YOUR FAVS ON THE NEW CD!

NOW. MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT MY SONGS AND MY SONGWRITING. WELL..MY SONGS ARE BASED ON A FEW THINGS. WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND ME, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME AND WHAT'S MY MOOD. A LOT OF SONGS, SUCH AS "AMY" "OVERLOAD" AND "AT LEAST I KNOW" ARE BASED ON VERY REAL THINGS AND SITUATIONS WHICH I WILL GET INTO EACH SONG INDIVIDUALLY AS I CONTINUE MY BLOGS. SONGS LIKE "BORROWED TIME" IS ALSO VERY PERSONAL BUT MORE OF A DEDICATION OF SORTS. "THE WHEEL" AND "DESTRUCTION" ARE WAKE UP STAND UP KIND OF SONGS..AND THEN THERE IS THE TONGUE IN CHEEK SONGS, "XXX" "SMILES OF LUST" BUT ALSO BASED ON WHAT GOES ON IN THE WORLD THAT I FIND VERY HUMOROUS. LOVE TO LAUGH! AND THEN SOME OF MY SONGS CAN GET TRICKY LIKE "SO VERY HARD" THE TITLE IS MISLEADING..BUT IT IS A SONG ABOUT BEING VERY HARD TO PLEASE AND UNDERSTAND!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT MY SONGWRITING PROCESS DOES NOT TAKE LONG AT ALL. I USUALLY WAKE UP OR I MAYBE DRIVING,ETC... AND A WHOLE SONG JUST COMES TO ME IN MY HEAD. THE LYRICS AND ALL. I'LL GET TOGETHER WITH ONE OF MY GREAT FRIENDS AND EXTREMELY TALENTED MUSICIANS AND CO-WRITERS LIKE MIKE THOMPSON OR MIKE CURRIN (BOTH OF THEM R WHO I WROTE ALL MY SONGS WITH AND ARE FORMER TOURING AND GROUP MEMBERS OF MINE), I WILL SING THE MELODIES AND THE LYRICS AND THEN THEY START PLAYING..USUALLY AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR. THEN WE GET THE OTHER MUSICIANS TOGETHER AND VOILA..NEW SONG..DONE! I WILL GET MORE INTO THE HISTORY AND MY BIO IN THE NEXT BLOG. I JUST WANTED TO ANSWER ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SO KINDLY ASKED ME ABOUT MY SONGS AND MY SONGWRITING.

WELL..I THINK THIS BLOG IS A LITTLE LONGER THAN INTENDED AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS. I WILL TRY AND ANSWER THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT..HOPE TO HAVE THE NEW CD OUT BY THE 1ST OF THE YEAR AND BE TOURING SHORTLY THERE AFTER! UNTIL THE NEXT TIME! ROCK ON.

Lyrics for Amy

AMY

Alone in the night, you hear the child weeping.Not afraid of the dark but the shadows of the light and her safe keeping.
Silent in her prayers,Does anybody listen,Does anybody really care,Do they here her heart calling,See her teardrops glisten...

Amy, don't ya worry, close your eyes now
Amy, Oh Oh
Amy don't ya worry, you're in a safe place now
Amy, don't ya cry no more...

Wondering if she's right She wishes she could fly Not to the Dark Moon but to the gates of heaven, to ask God Why..
Hearts hide her tears, eyes hide the child's fears Not knowing where to turn The light starts to fade and the child disappears...

Amy..don't ya worry, close your eyes now
Amy, Oh Oh
Amy, don't ya worry you're in a safe place now
Amy, don't ya cry no more...

Amy, don't ya worry you're in a safe place now,
Amy..don't ya cry...no...more.....
