I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.
Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

Story behind the song
Re-recording this song is therapy for me... I love the way the song offers comfort to the listener. I hope the music does that as well as the lyrics. I wrote it when assigned to 2nd Infantry Division on the DMZ between South and North Korea at a time of deep emotional need.
Lyrics
CRY ON MY SHOULDER Words and music by Johnny Proctor What you want can break your heart I know how it feels But there's a cry that cleanses us And there's a cry that heals My arms are here to take you My love will not forsake you Your dreams are sure to make you cry Cry on my shoulder Baby, cry Desire is a fire Passion is a flame But faithful love will always be the same There's a strength that sorrow brings Blessed now are you God our Father holds all things And he makes them new My arms are here to take you My love will not forsake you Your dreams are sure to make you cry Cry on my shoulder Baby, cry (c)1999 Old sarge Music

Wow! I didn't think this could get better - but you succeeded! Even better intro vocals (which is really saying something!). My "first" favorite JP song and now it is again. This is a great job of up-dating without losing any of the old magic! Hope all is well with you in Korea. matt

Mr Johhny, hey thanks for stopping by , " Cry On shoulder " is a classic song is this a remix ? the amazing thing is it sounds good on little computer speakers and headphones, this is a Classic Johnny proctor song one of many , I guess sometimes you have to remix/rotate your songs ? I am still reeling form " I am here " great song also . Thanks for the panning suggestions , AS I am still trying to figure out how to use reverb , delay and panning for the perfect mix , on " Human race " I have 3 guitars: tremelo , panned left right all the way : a clear strumming/picking electric panned left right ( forgot how much ) : Distorted guitar , panned left right 50/50 .. Got any suggestions ? I would be glad for the input

So this is new? I hear some different instrumentation. Talk about being brave to take this on. It sounds great. What could you not be happy about? Hey Johnny why is their a suggestion box in Heaven if everything is perfect?? Some people are not happy unless they can complain! (I cleaned it up for the SC audience) LOL! Great job! GO STEELERS!

Ok, so what's supposed to be missing from this? Inquiring minds want to know(MINE!LOL) It sounds complete to me. :D I really like this updated version of Cry on My Shoulder, Johnny..and I wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself, you did GREAT!! :D *additional comment* I'm listening with the producer's hat on..nothing had jumped out at me when I'd heard this the first time..and the third time out..I STILL don't hear anything that would need fixing, Johnny...you really did do fine..there's plenty of detail, huge harmonic sound in your harmonies, and your lead sounds balanced..as well as your highs and lows sound even, too. One day I'll get me a stick and beat you senseless!!(of course, I'd have to find and catch you first, LOL!!!)...why don't you understand, that while not perfect,(NOBODY is) you're doing fine with what you're working with?
