LONELY 04:44
LONELY J Weidner The night turns into day And I’m running out of things to say Been a long time in the cellar Beneath the garden in my head Became the king of tiny spaces But I never threw the key away And I’m tired of all these faces Promising a better day I’ll smoke a cigarette, or reach for the cellphone It’s all a sickness, you can Never get a moment alone Sometimes it feels like we’re just Fish in a fishbowl I’m fed up with this world I’m lonely, unholy, and I’m not the only one It’s been a while since I felt the light Of the sun shining on my back Oh I’m lonely, won’t you come hold me cuz I, Just need a little love Make me feel like someone you know The night turns into day, And I’m running out of things to say Comin’ up from the cellar But I can’t get outta my head I am the king of tiny spaces, But I never threw the key away Live a long time in my kingdom Looking for a better way I’m lonely, unholy, and I know I’m not the only one It’s been a while since I felt the light Of the sun shining on my back Oh I’m lonely, won’t you come hold me Cuz I, Just need a little love Make me feel like someone you really know

HELP ME 04:11
HELP ME J Russell As Black as the sun, as bright as the night I see the world, under a strange new light My world’s upside down, can’t figure out this town Feel so alone, you were here I could have sworn Backwards is forwards Deepest blacks are blue Everything I know, becoming untrue How did I get here? Tap my heels and I’m not home So afraid, all alone Help Me All I have here is time, moving so slow All I want is home, trapped forever more My mind plays it’s tricks, trying to tell me I’m sick But this is me now, gotta figure it out Backwards is forwards Deepest blacks are blue Everything I know, becoming untrue How did I get here? Tap my heels and I’m not home So afraid, all alone Help Me Help Me

HOLD ON 04:31
HOLD ON J Weidner Welcome to my rock It’s getting pretty bad here There’s a winter wind blowing down Birds of feather flock away from each other When the orange sun comes crumbling down We hang our heads on the weight of the world That’s in our pockets Tie my hands til they’re blue We hold the prayers of the faithful everlasting But that just won’t fly anymore We need to figure it out, oh ooh It’s all gone wrong Nothing lasts forever Soon it’ll be Goodbye My Rock Nothing lasts forever I think you better hold on Welcome to my rock It’s a place where, nothing is sacred anymore We get along with technicolour government They keep us down on the killing floor And I had such a shitty day But I don’t care, I don’t care I just wanna sit and stare looking at the blank space Cooking up some other bad news for me Just another fake news story He has this and she has that, I want more so give them less I don’t wanna cause no stress, It’s just the way it is, the way it is Give me this and give me that, I saw it on the internet I don’t wanna cause no stress, It’s just the way it is But we can change the world Make a better day, feels like we’ve gone astray So Goodbye My Rock Nothing lasts forever I think you better hold on

DON’T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE J Weidner You might be right I might be wrong And you can keep on singing but I heard that song Need to find a tune that’ll knock me to the floor I don’t wanna do this anymore I don’t wanna do this anymore Got your hooks in me And it hurt I’m trying the big time chorus but that, That don’t work Build a bridge across it Listen to it roar I don’t wanna do this anymore I don’t wanna do this anymore Need a sad refrain Need a killer line I need a minor chord Get me everytime We should fade it out now Stop keeping score I don’t wanna do this anymore I don’t wanna do this anymore I don’t wanna do this anymore I don’t wanna do this anymore
5.
BETTER MAN 04:21
BETTER MAN J Weidner Look at us now Living hand to mouth Feeding the city, But the city isn’t feeding us I’ve figured it out Seen the blankness on the faces in the crowds And they can never get enough blood And I’ll try to find the letters To make up words, That can paint a clearer picture Oh won’t you help me to try and understand Because I wanna be, I got to be A better man RIFF There’s ups and there’s downs But you always keep me anchored to the ground No stormy weather could change the way I feel around you, and I just can’t seem To shake these lonesome blues Oh you can never have enough love I’ll try to find the letters To make up words, That can paint a clearer picture Won’t you help me to try and understand Because I wanna be, I got to be A better man RIFF We’ll figure it out The cards are on the table and I’m hoping, Hoping that we’ll make it out alive But you make me a better man You make me a better man

GOOD TIMES 03:54
GOOD TIMES J Weidner Well I been Talkin about the future Running through the darkest days Terrible nature and deeper philosophy Is wrapping me up in a haze Oh I want good times, all the time Good times, all the time Oh I want good times, all the time Good times, all the time Wo o ow it’s like a river boat Wo o ow like a riverboat made outta lead (I need to jump ship) Why in the world would you ever Put one foot in this shit Pack it all up in a suitcase And leave it out in the rain I got a one way ticket to north of nowhere And I won’t be coming back again I’m doin alright, alri i ight Oh I want good times, all the time Good times, all the time You got me feeling alright, alri i ight Oh I want good times, All the time I want good times, all the time Why in the world would you ever Wanna change a good damn thing? Well I been talkin about the business Of leaving it all behind I got a one way ticket to get on outta here And I’m sure you’ll be fine Girl I want good times, all the time Good times, all the time You got me feeling alright All Ri i ight And so on and so forth...

about

TALKING WAVES Cork, Ireland

Joey Weidner (guitars) and Jonathon ‘JR’ Russell (vocals) are TALKING WAVES. They got together with producer/multi- instrumentalist Wayne P. Sheehy in their native West Cork early in 2017 and put together a tight rhythm section to work with.
