jamaraz unreleased #30: 'One Jar' (Sammy Phase)

If you've been a member for the last month or so, you may have heard me talk about this little side project I'm slowly working on called Sammy Phase, where I put on an american accent and sing songs that the character Sammy (yes, that Sammy) wrote. Refer to *this post* for more info about that!!

It's quite a simple track with just guitar and vocals. When mixing this song down from tape and digitising it, I actually sped up the tape a bit, that's why vocals sound a little higher than usual. I don't know why but I just thought it sounded nice and it almost made me sound younger?

At the very end of the song you can hear me drastically slowing down the speed of the tape which is pretty cool, gives it a running-out-of-battery vibe.

Lyrics

One jar that holds our ashes
And one car that always crashes
With you inside, you inside
One thing you always promised:
You'd never take off like this
And leave me here, leave me here

You left your wings at my place
I left my lips on your face
I really notice you gone
I really notice you missing

One word was all you had to say
To keep the carriers away from you
Away from you
One flaw you always wore with pride
One thing you couldn't hide was me
Hide was me

You left your wings at my place...

So yeah! What do you think? Which Sammy Phase song is your favourite so far? Let me know...

Next week I've got an old scrapped song from a scrapped ALBUM (Affordable Happiness is back!) that I made in late 2021 / early 2022. Stick around for more!!
