Artist picture
An independent singer-songwriter originally from Nevada City, CA, James has been writing and producing his own music for over a decade. His “do-it-yourself” methods have yielded three albums of diverse musical style and influence; Here Nor There (2010), Making It Right Again (2005), and Let Me In (2003). Each album presents a world of bitter-sweet joy wrapped up in musical styles ranging from Alternative Rock to Folk to Indie Pop with a lot of stops in between. His music pulls from many influences from the past and brings them into a modern setting with a feeling and spirit that is uniquely his.

Story behind the song
This is one of my all around favorite songs. I think lyrically it is one of my strongest and musically it works very well. I am not sure what it is about really. The words just kind of came to me. It is open for unterpretation which always makes for a more interesting listenning experience.
Lyrics
I've got something to say that may not or it may Make you cry Don't water it down with the water that falls From the emerald pool of your eye All the reasons I knew in my heart I can't recall anymore You floated your answers in bottles that washed up On someone elses shore You were disguised but like dark to blind eyes You were all I ever knew Try not to cry as the day turs to night And the shadow falls around you Ohhh If you can walk when you are sleeping And dream when you're awake If this thing we've got is worth keeping Why do you throw it away Why should you throw it away So convincing the lie that comes out of your eye I could follow you down forever Somewhere deep inside I'm attached to the sky But for you this line I would sever You throw words around and they float to the ground Just as gently, just like a feather Should those words turn cold they would drop like a stone And there's no coming back here, no never Ohhh If you can walk when you are sleeping And dream when you're awake If this thing we've got is worth keeping Why do you throw it away Why should you throw it away Ahhhhhhh... La la la la la... Keep it safe keep it safe lock it away from the world Keep it safe Keep it safe Don't let it show to the world Keep it safe keep it safe Keep it safe, locked away In your heart Keep it safe Lock it away from the world Lock it away from the world Lock it away from the world From the world From the world
