Former Elektra/Asylum solo artist James Sinclair has left a two decade trail of sophisticated pop music in his wake. The singer/songwriter degreed at the New England Conservatory of Music before embarking on a career that included major label deals, L.A. session gigs and tons of studio production. This is James' first album since the Elektra days and is a true labor of love. Self-produced over a three year period and featuring some of L.A.'s finest sidemen, you'll hear a rare level of maturity that relates to the music of Steely Dan, Sting and Al Jarreau. If you appreciate jazz influences, classic rock and great vocals, this one's for you!

Lyrics

You are leaning in a doorway
And I see you first, I watch your face
Surveying the lunchtime crowd
You spot me now, a quick embrace
We duck into a crowded café
A tiny table separated
By two inches from the next one
Private space that’s designated

You review the first half of your day
And I reach past the sugar bowl
The noise around us fades away
I touch your hand, so in control
The waiter skips us, lets us be 
Silent in mute conversation
In this brief serenity
I reflect how long I’ve been waiting

CHORUS
I must find a way to follow through
Make these pictures dance inside of you
I’ll be standing still until they do

Now I push the top back on the roadster
And we breathe in the cool night air
Moonlight on the winding path
To destination anywhere
We pull off to a view point
And I cut the engine, pull you close
Hold you for an hour
Tell you in my garden you’re the rose

And we plan our perfect future
In your hand I press a ring
Then I wake up from this daydream
And I brood and try to think
I must take a chance tomorrow
I must swing the pendulum,
The few times we’ve brushed past each other
You had no idea where I came from
