The Movement 03:58
All I see in front of me Is the chance to seek the answers we need Things keep changing rearranging Hope and pray that destruction ain't our fate Chorus Starts with each and everyone that you meet Each and every single word you speak Change begins with a state of mind But we're running out of time What I want is the same that you want Security and prosperity Why oh why do we fuss and fight We are all the same and yet we r all to blame
2.
Love 03:38
Chorus Love only love can conquer hate Love only love can break the chain Love only love can change Love only love only love It is born out of confusion Nothing good can come without solutions Our hands are tied unless we lift up higher Reach for the thing that keeps on burning brighter I believe that this is all crazy The path that we on has gotten lazy Gotta reach for those with empathy Help one another, and we'll end up happy

Higher Plane 05:02
You got your high-heeled sneakers on, slipin' mules You got your high-heeled sneakers on and your slipin' mules You're more than all right, you know you're out of sight You got a shapely figure, mama, that's keepin' me uptight You got a shapely figure, mama, a-keep me uptight You're too much, you know you're out of sight Hey, the way you do the thing you do, the way you kiss me, too The way you do the thing you do, the way you kiss me, too A heart delight, that's what you are, you know you're out of sight You got a sweet disposition, you're always right You got a sweet disposition, you know you're always right You know just what you're doin', baby, you know you're out of sight You're too much, you're the end You're so hip, baby, you know just where it's at You're beautiful, mama, most of all, you're honest There's no doubt you're out of sight, out of sight, out of sight

I wanna come back Cause I like it like that Your modus operandi Is really all right, out of sight Your sweet phalanges Know how to please My gastronomical stupensity is really satisfied when you're loving me Now tell me, what, I, say Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic I can't sleep at night But that's all right The M.D. tells me My heart's on strike Emanating originating from a love asphyxiation He said I better slow down before you drive me in the ground But what he doesn't know is I want another encore Now what, I, say Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic Let me stop procrastinatin' Standin' hear, and narratin' Find my emancipator, she's a love educator Cerebral, cerebellum, a medulla oblongata A slave's on a horse, every time she explores Just heard a discussion about a racial relationship Now what, I, say Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

Take That 01:46
8.
Chorus Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody tell me, what is the soul of a man I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can If anybody here can tell me, what is the soul of a man? I read the bible often, I tries to read it right As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind
9.
Help 05:01
I can see the hole in me It's full but empty with my life's debris You know it won't fix itself Til I break down and ask for somebody's help Chorus Help asking for help Help You know you can't love nobody til I learn to love myself There's nothing wrong with needing help Cause only a fool tries to do it all himself Cause you see we all want The same thing But we keep doing the same thing again and again and again So promise me people You'll stop living in the pain Reach out and tell someone. I know they'll understand Cause we all in this and there's nothing we can't do Cause we bound together to help each other through

about

On his second full-length album, JD Simo, fuses fluid and fiery fretwork with vital and vulnerable vocals. The Chicago-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, guitarist, & producer has been acclaimed by Rolling Stone, NPR, Guitar Player, Relix, No Depression, and more.

From his stint at the helm of SIMO to his solo debut and logging hundreds of gigs annually, JD has collaborated with Jack White, Tommy Emmanuel, @Luther Dickinson, Blackberry Smoke, & more. He graced the bills of festivals, including Bonnaroo, Warren Hayne’s Christmas Jam, & Mountain Jam. Phil Lesh, iconic co-founder of @The Grateful Dead, invited him to join Phil Lesh and Friends. Meanwhile, JD’s 2019 solo album, Off At 11, incited fan fervor and taste-maker praise - “channels for-bearers such as Jimi Hendrix, @Santana and the Allman Brothers Band" - Billboard.

When it came time to record, he sought out a co-producer for the first time. Enlisting Eddie Spear behind the board, he recorded the album to tape in just three days during January 2020.

“One of Those Days" slips into a simmering groove as falsetto resounds through nimble playing. It pulls from those Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield vibes. JD delivers a heavy homage to James Brown’s “Out of Sight,” wailing on a solo with a kind of unapologetic and unrestrained physicality. He and the band rip Earl Hooker’s “Anna Lee” through an old Casio Boombox before “fucking with the tape” to add another level of unfiltered passion.

J.D.’s presence infuses the situation of the moment with the music that’s been fueling him pretty much his whole life, spiced with influences that straddle both decades and dimensions.
