“Jonathon Fisk”
Spoon

Intro:   A    D

A
Maybe you remember, maybe you’re locked away.
A                                                                            D
Maybe we’ll meet again some better day, some better life.

A
Mmmm…  Jonathon Fisk speaks with his fists
A                                                              D
Can’t let me walk home on my own.
A
And just like a knife, down on my life,
A                                                  D
So many ways to set me right.

B                              A
It’s such a long way home.
It’s how the story goes.
A                 D
And it’s like atom bombs and blunt razors,
D
Atom bombs and blunt razors…

A
Jonathon then says it’s a sin,
But he don’t think twice ’cause to him
D
Religion don’t mean a thing —
It’s just another way to be right wing.
A
Just like a knife, down on my life,
So many ways to set it right.
D
That’s how it goes.
That’s how the story goes.

It’s such a long way home.
You’re too old to understand.
‘Cause I just want to get home now;
I just want to get home now.

Jonathon’s right, down on my life,
So many ways to set me right.
On the long walk home,
That’s how the story goes.
And Jonathon Fisk, always a risk,
Tells me he counts my teeth every night.
I want to get them all back now;
I want to get them all back.

E                    D          A
And I want to turn it around.
Ooo-oo…        Turn it around…
Ooo-oo, oo-oo… Turn it around…

Download the FREE “Those Around Us” Bonus Tracks iTunes Album Now!

By Jim Fusco:

Often in an album, it’s tough to realize all of the things happening in the background.  Brian Wilson once famously claimed that if you listen to “Pet Sounds” on headphones in the dark, you’d be able to hear each and every instrument & vocal part.  And he did that album in mono!  Well, I know many of you won’t be listening to my music alone in the dark anytime soon, so I’ve come up with the next best thing:

Tonight, I mixed down many of the tracks from “Those Around Us” (my latest album) and took away the instrument track.  That way, you can hear all of the vocal harmonies…and all of the work I put into them!  I also threw in the backing (music) track to “Look Around”, as it has the an interesting combination of instruments.  I think you’ll really enjoy this 11-track album.

The file is a zip file and the tracks are done in high-quality iTunes AAC format.  And, it’s FREE, so why not download it right now?  I’d love to hear any comments about these special bonus tracks.

You can download this FREE bonus track album here: http://jimfusco.com/TAU-BonusTracks.zip.

Oh, and if you haven’t gotten the real album yet, you can purchase that on CD and on iTunes by clicking here!

The Leap Year Show 2012 – Free Internet Radio Show on WCJM Radio

By Jim Fusco:

Hey everyone- the creative juices keep flowing over here in Meriden, CT.  I just uploaded a brand new free internet radio show on WCJM Radio.  It’s called the Leap Year Show 2012 and it’s the latest in my “Leap Year Show” series.  I did a show in 2000, forgot in 2004, but did it again in 2008.  Now, I’m back with my latest show- you’re sure to love it!

Again, it’s completely free to listen to on WCJM’s free internet radio station website in mp3 format.  So, you can listen to it on your mobile devices, too!

The show features many great songs, including those by Grateful Dead, Rush, Goo Goo Dolls, America, and many more!  I also wrote a bunch of skits, promos, and commercials for this show.  So, it’s my first real comedy show.  I hope you’ll give it a listen and, as always, will let me know what you think!  Here are the links:

From God, our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came,
and unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same.

How that in Bethlehem was born the son of god by name.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

“Fear not, then,” said the angel. “Let nothing you afright.
This day is born a savior of a pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him from satan’s power and might.”

Now, the Lord sings praises, all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace.

This holy tide of Christmas that brings redeeming grace…

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

God, rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day.

To save us all from satan’s power when we were gone astray…

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Instrumental (and fade…)
