Jay's LoFi Music
My dear friends:

Like so many who have tried to earn a living wage in the music industry, I, too, have chased the dragon in this highly competitive field. Two years ago, I supplemented what I had been doing by developing and publishing music in the LoFi genre, which is particularly popular on Spotify. I am happy to report that as of this month, my LoFi music has reached sufficient streams to fund half of my goal of $3,000 per month in revenue. It's a whole new age in the music industry where it takes 300 +/- streams to earn one dollar of revenue. In the past, my own music has been interspersed with the music of rock star earners on playlists in order to get a leg up. Now, for the first time, I am promoting a playlist of all my own music under the "Jay's LoFi Music" playlist. If you dig chill, relaxing vibes, I invite you to check out my work on the following playlist:

Hero All The Way

© Starburst

Some say angels walk this earth

Masquerade as humankind

What a lucky break for me

You're of this special kind

You brought me into this world

You taught me right from wrong

Your selfless acts and noble deeds

Helped guide me to be strong



(chorus)

You're the hero of my nights

You're the hero of my days

You're the hero of my dreams

You're my hero all the way

You're my hero all the way



Healing hands that let me know

I can fail and still succeed

A generous smile so beautiful

Lending light to every need

Now as I've grown into a man

I've come to realize

The awesome power of the love

There in my mother's eyes



(repeat chorus)

(bridge)

Somewhere between awake and dreams

Exists a holy place

It's there that I first realized

Your amazing grace



(repeat chorus)

Silly Girl
Silly Girl, my homage to Keith Urban's song "Stupid Boy"....

Many years ago when I began fumbling in the dark trying to understand what makes the difference between mediocrity and excellence in songwriting, I studied the works of Keith Urban. When I heard his song "Stupid Boy" with all of its self-deprecating honesty, I found my answer. I spent a year of my life studying how to write a song under the tutelage of a master. I tried to summon up all the best creativity I could, including trying to get in touch with my "feminine side" and wrote this, my homage to Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy" and I called it "Silly Girl". I hope you enjoy listening and reading what I came up with.
Pretty Sparrow
Greg Johnson & I are happy to share our newest song with you "Sparrow Pretty Sparrow", a song about a caged bird...but is it about much more than that??? This is our homage to all caged creatures of all kinds throughout all of history. From the caged bird that Maya Angelou wrote so eloquently about, to the young Mexican children caged by our malevolently narcissistic and racist excuse for a president, to the incarcerated innocents and unjustly incarcerated young black men in this country, to the slaves kidnapped and transported from Africa and forced into slave labor and, yes, even now to all of us worldwide caged in our homes for the noble purposes of flattening the curve of this pandemic.
Destination: Paradise
Destination: Paradise is an IslandVibe style of dreamlike fantasy by Coconuts & Moonbeams, a musical collaboration of Greg Johnson & Starbu5st Records.
The Chain
The Chain tells the story of a son raised in the Bayou by a father who's earned his livelihood and fed his family by cooking moonshine. Unfortunately, the old man imbibes his product too much and too frequently and he's a mean drunk. The story is told from the son's point of view who wishes to escape the pain, the shame of his father's mistreatment. Sung by the incredible Bobby Sahlen.

Pure White Snow is a song co-written with and performed by Leiza Michaels from our brand new upcoming album release Leiza Michaels New Standards dropping Spring 2020 on Starburst Records. This song is our homage to the amazing artistry of Billie Holiday which, while acknowledged her struggle with heroin addiction, nonetheless celebrates her legendary and iconic performance capabilities. We'd also like to acknowledge, recognize & thank the incredible musical acumen chops/producer recording capabilities of David Francis (our Nashville Producer/upright bass player extraordinaire) as well as Tommy Harden - Drums & Percussion, Catherine Marx - Keyboards, Kerry Marx - Electric Guitar, Jim Hoke - Saxophones & Chromatic Harmonica, David Francis - upright bass and Marv Treutel - Recording Engineer. Final engineering, mixing & Mastering of this album is underway by my longtime producer/collaborator/friend Nathaniel Jones, who's mad skills are also legendary. Love ALL of you and thank you for making this such a fun and innovative project!

Sleepy Sunday Preview
This is a preview of a brand new collaborative song by Greg Johnson called "Sleepy Sunday" dropping 3-15-2020 on Spotify & at digital media platforms everywhere.
A Different Kind of Sleep
Notwithstanding the reality of the fact that only a small segment of the population are electronic industrial music fans, I cannot contain my excitement over how great I personally feel this production by myself, Ron Potter and Nathaniel Jones has turned out. This is music intended to be played at very LOUD volume. The musicality of this genre typically tells the story, but sometimes the lyrics are significant. Down to the very depths of his soul, this guy needs the kind of true restfulness and escape from the insanity of his world that only comes from a very special kind of sleep, which no matter how hard he tries, he cannot achieve. We're seeing inside the consciousness of a man who's perfect world where worries fade away is a fictional place that's been mangled by reality.
2 pts penance
first song i ever wrote, 2008
The Bitter End
The Bitter End is a hang banging electronic industrial rock piece from longtime collaborators Stuck With Green and Evan Zappa & the Necessity. The lyrics are written from the point of view of an infant child looking up at his parents and other admirers, but with the wisdom of Solomon, commenting on the big picture of life with expertise far beyond his age!

La Bruja ("The Witch")
In the annals of Mexican folklore, there is, perhaps, nothing more powerful than the story of La Bruja ("The Witch"). The Robles Sisters' masterful rendition of this centuries old folk song tells its story with powerful emotion.
Madam Liberty
As a small indie label representing & collaborating with artists from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina & Great Britain, Starburst Records is extremely concerned with the precipitous and disastrously rolled out refugee/immigration/Muslim travel ban recently implemented by the most unpopular president in American history. This is the subject matter of our latest music video featuring the song Madam Liberty by Johnny Starburst.
Keeper of the Truth
Rapazzi is an international musical songwriting/performance collaborative of artists from Mexico, Brazil & the USA. Its song "Keeper of the Truth", written in 2014 & released on its 4-25-2016 "Ready to Strike" album was written as a tongue in cheek satire without ever anticipating the dramatic political changes that were to come......



Keeper of the Truth

© 2014 Rapazzi



His warnings are inscrutable

His mysteries profound

A child devoid of principles

Unfettered and unbound

He grew beyond eternity

Was understood by all

The teacher of the universe

Stood proud and he stood tall



(chorus)

The keeper of the truth he is

With wisdom flowing free

Even fawning birds and foe

Bow to his majesty

Mankind no longer has to wait

To see why we're alive

All the answers on display

Truth's Keeper has arrived



Far beyond bigotry

Intolerance and hate

Impatient over ignorance &

Using fear as bait

Collectively inspiring

Consensus as a tool

Shutting out adversity

Changing all the rules



(repeat chorus)



Instrumental break



(repeat chorus)
