Together 04:43
Like a page ripped out of a novel doesn’t make much sense standing all alone A conductor of a choir Is just a crazy man waving his hands standing on his own What happens when pages form a story War and Peace, Great Gatsby, Brave New World And what happens when a leader guides a group Voices lift spirits drift into the groove People coming together People dreaming about a better world that could be People singing together Making music to change the course of humanity People coming together We are stronger when we unite A single polyester bristle dipped in paint but it ain’t making much Like a washed up piece of drift wood covered in moss cutting across all beat up What happens when bristles form a brush? Claude Monet, Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh What happens when a craftsman grabs some wood A new guitar’s repertoire understood People coming together People dreaming about a better world that could be People singing together Making music to change the course of humanity People coming together We are stronger when we unite People singing side by side we are stronger when we unite

Well tonight is the big setup You brought some fire but I didn’t light up Had a lot to say but didn’t say much At all, no Your tabloids while i’m periodical Shifted pace to wrap it up But it went on and on and on when it was through I went in the other room Don’t take it personal I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no 7 numbers on a napkin, all tore up Tried to be polite but you didn’t let up Ain’t no other move, but to throw in the towel, on you But in the pages i’m listed, and that’s where you twisted You left a message on my tape machine I was in the other room Don’t take it personal I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no I ain’t picking up on you, no Ease up Sometimes too much is too much girl But you never really know

Repetition 03:28
tonight we’ve reached the end of conversation patience is wavering but can we try a new negotiation let me take it I will lift you over swing you up kiss your neck make you forget why I will grab you closer hold you so you can’t think of anything but us Love is repetition Of love when you see my heart is getting colder come a little closer be a little bolder you are my devotion every day you inspire everything that’s us you hold my emotion i won't stop making sure that your heart stays full Love is repetition Of love

Aim High 03:38
dance floor’s jumping got me moving my head But I’m still stuck by the door Tossing my coat let it all go Gotta try (3x) First day jitters got you clutching your bag No one knows your name Swap a high five you have arrived Gotta try (3x) Aim high Waiting for your coffee at the corner cafe waitress baby gives you the eye you wanna say yes so you leave your address Gotta try Aim high stepping it up living it up giving it up getting it up turning me on getting it on nobody’s wrong Looking at John Aim high

Smash 03:06
You’re my arena I’m your rule You’re my athena So what you’re gonna do? Bring out the lions This is war When we smash You’re my chaos I’m your storm up in the sky our light is blinding black out the night when we collide Countdown, to blast 3-2-1, When we smash

On the bus she’s staring you might say a bit too long she missed her stop, but ain't no thing She just wrote her very first song She's late to work but it don’t matter Head’s in the clouds she’s doing fine That old boss can’t pull her down She’s floating up and staying high All these expectations Rules and regulations Always keeping us in line Inside every story Heard in a melody You will find that getting lost is getting free We are taking back daydreaming Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go Daydreaming in the flow We don’t need reality it’s all for show Drifting away in the office While everyone’s in the grind Ain’t no job gonna weigh me down I can go anywhere in my mind All these expectations Rules and regulations Always keeping us in line We are taking back daydreaming Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go Daydreaming in the flow We don’t need reality it’s all for show

these two feet they got a mind of their own don’t need direction they know where to go wanna get new scuffs on these old soles making ground in my home town where sticky wet heat slicks the concrete But it ain’t gonna stop them from moving these feet ain’t got no body these feet ain’t got no one these feet ain’t got no body but these feet still know how to have fun 2nd street and Figuro’ Liberate and lift my soul Cast from the street lamps someone else wants this dance But who is anyone when i got moves Solo down in my home town no running out the clock got this on lock Ain’t gonna stop them from moving these feet ain’t got no body these feet ain’t got no one these feet ain’t got no body but these feet still know how to have fun (2x) BRIDGE Oh Oh Got no body Ain’t got no body

Friends they talk a lot But we know what we got We got more than just a little thing > More than just a little thing But in the common tongue They’d say she was sprung She wants more than just a little thing More than just a little thing It’s alright tonight Cuz we gonna be untight About more than just a little thing Ain’t no need to sneak I can’t help but see dadadadadadadadad You caught me baby Making eyes at you I know it may sound crazy But she was staring at you too Yeah she caught us baby And we’ll be keeping her in view With a little luck There gon be some love Wohhhh Let’s make this fantasy A reality Woooahhhhh Dadadadadadadada You caught me baby (you caught me baby) Making eyes at you I know it may sound crazy But she was staring at you too Yeah she caught us baby And we’ll be keeping her in In our private quarters taking orders Change it up tonight Inside private quarters All the feels we need You caught me baby Making eyes at you You caught us baby Doing like we do Gonna keep it sweaty Getting in the groove Yeah you caught us baby Feeling in the mood We got caught we got caught we got caught yeah

A late December night and i’m thinking of you Been holed up in the right kind of city to do some soul searching and some time away to think i am learning what is keeping me on the ground I’m so damn in love with you I want my life for only you I will keep you inside my vacant heart i will meet you over on your side every time we can start the night with some romance we finish off the wine and we slow dance for a moment nothing else exists i am certain whenever i taste your lips that Chorus Oh giving up is easy but i would never quit you you’re the tracks to my streetcar when i’m lost you’re my north star I thought I needed more to satisfy myself I thought if I could be rich I could buy my way out but the money flowed it was never enough happiness is giving in to someone you love I’m so damn in love with you I want my life for only you I will keep you inside my vacant heart i will meet you over on your side every time

about

Brassroots District Los Angeles, California

As the outside world gets crazier, the inside groovehaus gets sweatier. Brassroots District is not a band. It's an idea. A musical collective. A respite from negativity. It's a space where freaks and businessmen, weirdos and stiffs come together for a night of unadulterated joy. To dance, sing, smoke, drink and make good, good love. ... more
