Me & John Lee

t’s a cold winter day, and I’m sitting in my room
All by myself.. sick with a flu..
And I’m listening to John Lee playing his blues
It heals my my heart and my soul and my feelings too
I had a hard day at work, I’ve been teased and I’ve been down
Ran back to my room, put on John Lee’s sounds
And I closed my eyes.. I closed my eyes and I calmed down
I don’t need no medicine when I listen to John Lee’s sound..
I’ve been listening to John Lee ever since I was a child
His magic and his spirit of blues had cleaned my mind
and turned me from a lonesome sad guy into a healed and happy man
Yes, the blues had changed me and I’ll never be the same again
Well there’s one thing that the great John Lee said :
He said “The Blues Is a Healer” and don’t you ever forget
that when you’re feeling down, then don’t you ever refuse
to stand up on your feet again and to be healed by the blues

The Treasureman's Blues

Some people say I’m a treasure man, well I guess this is true
They say I got the talent, and I got the blues
Some people say I’m a treasure man, well I guess this is true
Well I’m just writing songs, that’s all I can do
I was walking in the square, I saw a man with a guitar
He said : Hey, come and play the blues for me, you big superstar
I was kind of shy, but I broke all the rules
I told him “Sure ! why not?! “ I grabbed his guitar and I started playin’ the blues
I was jammin’ and shoutin’ all over the town
Suddenly people started to gather ‘round
A security guard passed by, “What’s goin’ on here ?” He said
And he was told that they came here to hear the treasure mans’ playin’
(Solo)
Well I guess I’m a treasure man, who am I to disagree
Cause I’m writing songs about everything I see
Well I guess I’m a treasure man, probably that’s who I meant to be
mm..

Peace Is My Religion
03:06

Every human has a mission
To live life without condition
And he doesn't need permission
To live a free and happy life
That's why
Peace is my religion
And I'm so proud to live that way
Back in Netanya I met a boy
Told him that I found my joy
He said I'm acting like a Goy
And it's just because I told him that
Peace is my religion...
So he wished me days of horror
Of sodom and gomorrah
I said : shut up you stupid moron
And let me live my life
Peace is my religion...
I don't wanna be mad
I don't wanna be bad
I don't wanna be sad
And forever I'll be glad that..
Peace is my religion
And forever I'll be proud to live that way

Disconnect
02:11

When the day becomes the night, I got hard feelings sometimes
I can’t be locked in my house any longer
I got to get out
And I think that it’s a perfect time
To act like children again
And once in a day to spare some time
With no gadgets, no phones, no books and no smokes
And just to listen to the silence..
And to calm down

My New Blues
03:32

A new year, a new decade, new times
New hopes, new wishes, new lines
Got some new tabs, new bars, new chords
New lyrics, new stories and some new jokes
I got my new blues...and I'm going to preach it out !
A new city, new places, nee friends
I'm going to hear some new music, new styles from new bands
Maybe I'll play some new stuff to my new crowd
With my new guitar and I'll preach it out loud !
Got my new blues to my new family down town
I'll drink a toast for a new beginning, for new smiles
For new dreams to come true, for a good new life
For ny new friends that I made and that I'll make
Fir the healing spirit of blues and for more happy days
And for my new blues for being played every day !

Good Deeds
04:11

Once.. I used to be a bad boy
I wasn’t aware of what I have said and what I have done
Today.. I’m a different man..
And I don’t miss those days I hurt my close friends
Once… I was a naughty boy..
I was inspired by the bad boys in my life
Today.. I listen to my heart and I’m going
On the paths and ways that were made by my dear mother, god rest her soul !
Remember, good deeds…
Now.. I’m startin’ all over again
Without remembering what happened in the past
Now… I’m not sad anymore…
Because I’m do the thing I’m good at I’m so glad
I wish I could stand in front of all the people I hurt
And tell them that I’m sorry for letting them down
And I wish to meet new people again
And to show them that I really wanna be a friend… (no terms, no jokes, only love)

New Jack Blues Boy
04:25

Everyone is getting crazy 'bout this madness that just came
to every piece of this city, however I don't know it's name
cause I'm a new jack blues boy X2
I'm a New Jack Blues boy with a clean and sane mind
When everybody's listening to those cheap depressive tunes
I'm sitting with my jukebox and I'm dive into that blues
cause I'm a new jack blues boy X2
I'm a New Jack Blues boy and I'm the black sheep of the crew
When everyone's at school around me ain't got no tact
I'm listening to some Johnny Gill, some BBD and Wrecx-n-effect
That's right I'm A new jack blues boy
I'm A New Jack Blues boy and I don't interact
I tried to grow an High-top hairstyle, But it didn't go well
But I used to dress like a 90's boy and I always used to yell
Everybody.. I'm a new jack blues boy
and that's all I can tell

See Me Now
04:07

Ever since my first show in august 2010,
My mother always blessed me and convinced me that I can
And until her last day I kept close her heart
To keep her loss from breaking me apart,
I kept on playin' just as I promised her in my vow
I have fulfilled my sacred dream, I wish my mother could see me now
Sometimes I look at my old family films and see
And hear my mother and i'm inspired to be
The one who feels her holy spirit talking to me
saying : Keep on rockin', don't stop trying
I know my mother always wanted the best for me
And as her only son I promised her to be
full of joy, just as I promised her in my vow
But oh, how I wish my mother could see me now
Each time when I go on stage, I feel I will start to cry
Cause I imagine my mother in front of me and choke back a sigh
She is wishing me: Good luck son ! do your best to make the crowd say ”Wow!”
And when I play I feel her power .. and I feel that my mother can see me now
I'm so sad that she's gone, but I know I must be strong to carry on!
(Rest in peace, I love you)
