First Take Friday - Episode #78 The World is Ours Written by Jonathan Brader Tale of the Tune: I’ve been missing warm weather, so I wrote this tune after a spell of nice weather in St. Louis. It’s pretty self-explanatory after that. Boy meets Girl on Monday. Boy and Girl have a great time together throughout the week. On Saturday, they dance. Thank you for checking it out. JB

First Take Friday - Episode #77 Sleepwalkin’ Written by Jonathan Brader Tale of the Tune: I wrote this song on an airplane. I was exhausted. Fight Club-Edward Norton-Exhausted. Have you ever been that tired? It seems to be a constant state for me at the moment. I’ll say “hello” to Tyler and Little-Bo-Peep for you. The first rule of First Take Friday is: You do not talk about First Take Friday. Thank you for the inspiration Chuck Palahniuk! Chuck's episode on Joe Rogan was awesome. You should check it out, if you're into that sort of thing. Thank you for checking this out, and sweet dreams! JB First Take Friday - Episode #76 Rockin' My World Written by Jonathan Brader Tale of the Tune: This song is about my wife. I’ve had the chords in mind for a while, but I came up with the bass line last night and then I put the lyrics on top, but I couldn’t find the chorus. We got the kids to bed and then all of the sudden the chorus started flowing. It’s different. Almost sounds like it should be part of a different song, but that’s kind of what I like about it. Enjoy! Love someone this weekend, and happy St. Patrick’s Day! JB First Take Friday - Episode #75 Lady of the Sea Written by Jonathan Brader Tale of the Tune: I’m tired of winter, so I picked up my pen and this song came out. It is about a sailor who has a recurring dream about a woman who guides him to port on every voyage that he makes. The woman is beautiful, captivating, all encompassing yet at the same time, positively elusive. It is inspired by the reggae beats of Jamaica and the ocean, obviously. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching/listening/reading. JB First Take Friday - Episode #74 Stardust of the Universe Written by Jonathan Brader Tale of the Tune: Stardust of the Universe is inside all of us – aka God, aka The Creator, whatever you want to call him, or it. I believe that we all know this, deep down inside, but it’s real, real deep. If you don’t know, I hope you do at some point in your life. I have realized this and it has brought me the greatest sense of peace you can imagine. I wish I could share it with you, but you have to feel it to believe it, so I understand your skepticism. Anyway, it’s cool. Disclaimer: I made up the bridge on the spot. It doesn’t really make sense on the surface. In my head, I was thinking that the feeling that I describe above - the feeling of God inside of my being, and knowing he is inside of you and every person and being in the world (what ever you want to call him/it) – but then I realized that the feeling can be easily lost because of day to day life, and for me worrying. So, that’s that spawned the freestyle bridge. Thank you for watching/reading. JB |
