barren ground - 4:34 track one
musicians: jana - vocals
jeff tweeter - lead & rhythm guitars
  paul hardy - bass
   

How can I survive
with all this bad news surround me?
Still it feels so right
with all there is thats around me
& did you know that love can rise
from the barren ground?

Sometimes I just can’t speak - because words distort the truth.


in a garden - 5:52 track two
musicians: jana - acoustic guitar, vocal, cabasa & chimes
jeff tweeter - lead acoustic guitar
  paul hardy - bass
jeff thornton - sound effects
   

Oh I wish I were
in a warm garden.
Oh I wish I were in a . . . warm garden.
Oh I wish I were in a warm garden . . .

Feelin' the beat of the sun on me
Feelin' the beat of the sun on me
Feelin' the beat of the sun . . . on me.


jubilent circumstance - 6:58 track three
musicians: jana - vocal, electric guitar, acoustic bass
jeff tweeter - lead classical & acoustic guitars
   

Long has been your preparation,
a continuing quest
the distances searched to comfort your loneliness.

I’ve found someone to join me in the dance
It’s a jubilent circumstance!

Preserve this flowing presence,
a worthy accumulation
a thorough saturation and equivalent exchange.

So right, in so many ways,
together we can surpass
individual initiatives to share & sing each others praise.


are you listening? - 2:49 track four
musicians: jana - guitar, vocal, bass & banjo
   

Did you hear what I said?
Were you casually listening in?
Have you ever been bled?
Is that why you seem made of tin?

Don’t let ‘em get you down,
people like that are around
I hope their soul can be found


dreamin' again - 4:46 track five
musicians: jana - piano, vocal, strings
paul hardy - bass
   

I can’t remember what,
but I’m dreamin’ again

& I can look at my face in the mirror.
Can you look at your face in the mirror?

I can’t remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.
I can’t remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.

Theres no place left to pioneer
& still you are a pioneer.
I can’t remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.


i do, need you - 4:37 track six
musicians: jana - vocal, electric guitar, cabasa, bass
jeff tweeter - lead acoustic 12 string
   

I’m living out in the gray zone.
It’s a place where you’re really alone -
where people can't seem to hurt you,
but you can’t learn anything new.

I do, need you . . . I do, need you.

Waitin’ for a friend to show.
Generic hits are playin’ on the radio.
Don’t they think that the people know,
they probably do but they’re makin’ money, so . . .
Who cares is scarce . . . who cares, is scarce.

I turned to gray cause things aren’t
always black & white.
No simple answers, sure I
know whats wrong from right.
But, if the information saturation isn’t clear . . .
my body’s here, but my mind is way out there.
Is where? Over there . . . is way out there.

Yes, I need you to hold me tight.
Seeking hope, I dream with all my might.
Together we can shatter this chatter
& understand the fact, the fact that we all matter.


jesse ed - 2:56 track seven
musicians: jana - vocal, keyboards
   

Jesse Ed - What are you doin’ dead? (3x)
I never knew you were -
a heroin head.

He was only 43, when he hit that end,
I won’t pretend
to understand
what took his life
to some its just a strife.

Maybe someday
when we meet down the road,
we’ll find whats true,
in the end down the road,
when we accompany you . . .


why can't i be blessed? - 3:52 track eight
musicians: jana - vocal, electric guitar, bass
jeff tweeter - lead electric guitar
derrell brown - drums, keyboard
johnny hozey - lead guitar
   


I feel like a remnant
of some days gone by.
I just don’t fit in yet
& I don’t know why.

I always felt I understood,
I know the rest of the world could.

I connect with nothing
still I feel it in my bones,
sifting through whispers
with some thougths as hard as stones.

I believe in all mankind -
still a true heart is hard to find.

Why can’t I be blessed
to make a difference?

There’s such a fine line bewteen this world of yours & mine.


hear me - 3:09 track nine
musicians: jana - vocal, keyboard & dulcimer
   

I can’t see you & you can’t hear me (2x)

My spirit is lacking,
demanding, attacking,
insisting, persisting -
that I can’t, be you,

it’s our attitude,
a former habitude
a hidden affliction,
addressing, redressing,
enduring, obscuring -
so I can’t see you & you can’t hear me.

I can’t see you , why can’t you hear me?
what am I gonna do . . .


in your heart - 4:19 track ten
musicians: jana - vocal, keyboards

jeff thornton

Ooh, can’t you feel it -
in your heart.

We, should never part
Mm Mm oh we, yeah!
Just the start.

Oh . . . Aah . . .Mmm . . . Ooh,
can’t you feel it - in your heart.
