Justin took a break from music after performing and writing for various music projects since he was sixteen years old (Current, Ottawa, Technicolor, Film School -- along with scoring several commercials). One Valentine's Day, he wrote a short song for his girlfriend which lead to the beginnings of this recording under the name: The Jamboree. The lyrics were written by his friend Lisa Nola.
Around Town we've got the time so let's ride this out until mornin we'll be discrete and with no lights on the street there's no rushin if you take it now there won't be a way out until mornin you go up you go down you go all around around town i like. i like. i like. i like. streets shine with gold --cause all i want is a way to get back streets shine with gold --cause all i want is a way to get back streets shine with gold --cause all i want is a way to get back streets shine with gold --cause all i want is what i don't have Everything I Want Is Here walking through the park fixated on the trees softly reaching out the sun casts a shadow moving through the grass the time is screaming out clutching all I know everything I want is here admitting this in your ear sending traces into the atmosphere coming down your hall imagining the words we'll be acting out hearing your steps echo from under the doorway the light is fading out clutching all I know everything I want is here admitting this in your ear sending pieces into the atmosphere Doing Fine you think that I am blind or are we too confined with things you try to hide well some of those things are mine wrapped up in passion do you think i'm doing fine and am i still the man on your mind left with no compassion so i let this feeling thrive and pushed you to the corner of my mind think there's more to find or you go with your pride without that softer side i'll be wiped from your mind wrapped up in passion do you think i'm doing fine and am i still the man on your mind left with no compassion so i let this feeling thrive and pushed you to the corner of my mind Wire Crossed you remained on a hotel bed another memory living inside my head wires crossed time and time again we wouldn't get it right -- now or then you're lost i'm gone i've snipped the wings you fade and i stayed forever and a day you're lost i'm gone i've cut the strings you fade and i stayed forever and a day i remained, i regained myself too much time pulling you off the shelf if then and only when you couldn't get it right -- now or then you're lost i'm gone i've snipped the wings you fade and i stayed forever and a day you're lost i'm gone i've cut the strings you fade and i stayed forever and a day I Won't Interfere in the dream i wake you from your hands slip from the door i tell you that i'm sorry for pulling you in for more no matter my reaction there's things i can't erase i tell you not to worry more words to misplace i'd do just what you want i'll say just what you need just don't leave me alone and i won't interfere in the dream you take me from your eyes stare at the floor i tell you that i'm sorry you pull me in for more an ocean of confession i meant to keep you safe i tell you not to worry more life to retrace i'd do just what you want i'll say just what you need just don't leave me alone and i won't interfere December 2008
