Last Friday, Johnny ‘Flyn' Lion’ Abbie Mitchell invited us down to showcase a couple of songs. We had our brand new drummer Elisa Suarez on board, as well as Christopher Alice on lead guitar. First I did my brand new song ‘down so long’ by my lonesome. Jaime graciously handed my his guitar and said to the crowd, ‘let Jeremy Ferrick warm your hearts and make love to your brains with his new song.’ Or something very Jaime-esque like that.
Then we launched into ‘Ring of fire’ and a few of our originals. Johnny joined us onstage during ‘Bullfighters. He shared vocals with both me and Jaime. Afterwards he declared, ‘I’ve been wanting to do that for a year.” It was a good vibe at Danny’s. Edizen from Venice Papparrazzi was snapping shots. The pics are now online.
Till next time, Danny’s.

Walk on wires from my album 'dead sea songs'

verse cEmfg chorus cgfEm bridge cgcf

took you so long to learn kindness
now you're learning how to be cool
it creates a certain blindness
to be so smart yet act like a fool

you had so many chances
but you struck out every time
you could have hit it hard
but someone told you that it would be a crime

chorus

so you walk on wires
stay awake all night, never retire
walk on wires
stay awake all night, fire with fire

used to buy into the lies of
luxury
opened my eyes wide enough to see
for any intention there's no such thing as in between.
so whatever you get for free, it isn't worth anything at all
tell the ones to leave you be
who will not let you heed the call.

chorus
bridge

so if you're on the job, or somewhere else you'd rather not be
find the nearest exit and set yourself free
