I combine images of connectedness with those of alienation to write a love song. Connected has those bluesy nuances which so many of my songs have.
Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.
Story behind the song
The mother of one of my singers kept talking about how certain people were "connected" in the music business. I jumped at it.
Lyrics
CONNECTED
I was running in circles, day to day
I had to have everything my way
So out of joint, hard to please
Then your love brought me to my knees
I feel Connected, Connected to you
No more rejection or feeling blue
Now I'm protected, a hand in a glove
I feel Connected to your love
I was way on the outside, lost in space
A refugee from the human race
I felt detached, I needed more
Then your love opened up the door
I feel Connected, Connected to you
No more rejection or feeling blue
Now I'm protected, a hand in a glove
I feel Connected to your love
I look around, and you're here with me
I've got a partner, you're no fantasy
I finally care for somebody else
A part of something larger than myself
I was living in chaos, I hated life
I had my share of trouble and strife
So out of joint, hard to please
Then your love brought me to my knees
I feel Connected, Connected to you
No more rejection or feeling blue
Now I'm protected, a hand in a glove
I feel Connected to your love
I feel Connected, I feel Connected
I feel Connected, I feel Connected
No more rejection, no no no
I feel Connected, I feel Connected
No more feeling blue
