Brian's Music
“I've worked in the music business as a recording artist, producer, and record label executive for 25+ years. He had a gift for writing lyrics. What he penned between 2004 - 2009 address many of the social issues the United States is facing today. He was inspired by diverse genres. He had a love for Neil Young, Crosy Stills & Nash, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Rush. I encouraged Brian to record an album at Annex Studios with help from Engineer Jonathan Shults, who had worked on several of my own albums. Brian, under the alias JONAHS, would release a 54 minute record with 11 original songs including a tribute to his wife Anna and a grandfather he never knew." -Paul Cardall
LYRICS
For What It's Worth
There's something happening here
And what it is isn't exactly clear
Because there's men building bombs over there
telling us that we've got to be aware
I think it's time we stop
hey what's the sound
everybody look what's going on
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right and
Everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop
hey what's the sound
everybody look what's going on
What a field day over here
10,000 people in the streets
sings of songs and carrying signs
must be saying
“hooray for our side.”
And it's time we stop
hey what's the sound
everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
into your life of fear it'll creep
it starts when you're always afraid
it's about a lie and the men that come and take you away
I think it's time we stop
hey what's the sound
everybody look what's going on
