The Change Will Do You Good Music j pirard/d pitz words j pirard d pitz a tietje The change, the change, the change will do you good ‘cause if you stay the same you’re merely a beginner Find the key to grow, the joy of letting go Don’t retreat to unsaid innuendo See your path approach, follow it throughout Find your way unfolding as you travel The change, the change, the change will do you good ‘cause if you stay the same you’re merely a beginner The change, the change, the change will do you good So try and play the game you might come out a winner Don’t assume you know, what I’ve got to show Don’t relate our moment to a feeling Don’t accept stagnation, don’t forget to dream Follow your own independent healing The change, the change, the change will do you good ‘cause if you stay the same you’re merely a beginner The change, the change, the change will do you good So try and play the game you might come out a winner Emerging phoenix-like from dead relations Rebuilding all our hopes from our frustrations The synergy will lead to new creation Of a world that’s borne upon your own salvation Don’t forget to dream!

WHO SHE WAS THE OLDER THAT SHE GOT THE HARDER TO BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS NOT THE ONE THAT THEY ALL DREAMED OF HER LOOKS HAD GONE AWAY SHE’D NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT SEE HER LONELY FACE OUT IN THE WATER OLD AND GRAY SHE WALKS OUT IN THE RAIN THE PEOPLE STOP AND STARE AT WHO SHE WAS THE LONELY FIGURE WALKING A SHELL OF WHAT SHE KNEW THE TRUTH IS SOMETHING THAT SHE CAN’T BELIEVE LONELY WALKING LADY LOST IN HER DREAM… BY JOEL PIRARD 1998

TIME WILL TELL 04:09

Time will tell By Arno Tietje Add another layer to my shell Doesn’t really matter in my private hell Took a year for us to say out good-byes Only now I know about all of your lies Time will tell Time will tell Nothing we could do to forestall We could read the writing on the wall You had to have everything or nothing at all I hoped our love would stand but it had to fall Time will tell Time will tell Well I heard there’s trouble in paradise You’re the last one to listen to your friends’ advice And you went from the fire to the fryin’ pan And it’s no joke that I’m laughing, just as hard as I can! There was a time when, if I had my way That they’d find you at the bottom of New York Bay Well that anger has passed now so what can I say ‘cept we’re older, and wiser and it’s true that every dog, has it’s day! Our love was more than the sum of it’s parts Carve another scar in my bleeding heart Time waits for no one when the love departs Just like a circle the end is the start Time will tell Time will tell Time will tell Time will tell

THE TIDE HAS TURNED AWAY WORDS BY D PITZ & A TIETJE MUSIC BY JDA She’s the kind of girl who’d give you her umbrella on a sunny day But when the raindrops start to fall she’d be there to take it away I can’t see where I must be today Not for me the tide has turned away When I find I can’t explain (when find I can’t explain) my thoughts they wander on And I find myself (And I find myself so lost) So lost in time and words alone I can’t see where I must be today The rain it calls to me, how can it wash away, the pain When I find I can’t explain (when find I can’t explain) my thoughts they wander on And I find myself (And I find myself so lost) So lost in time and words alone And one day you’ll wake (and on day you’ll wake to find) To find your gods have feet of clay Will it be your broken (will it be your broken heart) heart that sees the light of day I can’t see where I must be today Lonely me, the tide has turned away

HAIL THE CONQUERING HEROES By j pirard Was he a man that a son could be proud of Was she a saint or a whore to be scorned Did they live lives in the course of decisions Trying so hard or just living a lie Hail to the conquering heroes of our lives Those who would nurture and those who would fail Those that we know of and those that we can see All of the ones that we need to prevail They call us all to know They call us all feel the flow Every day feel the rain fall down A painter a soldier a sinner a lover A mother a father a sister a wife A brother a child a runner forgiver All of the people that make up a life Hail to the conquering heroes of our times Hail to the people who help us decide Those that we hear of and those we don’t know All of the stories that are left to write They call us all to know They call us all feel the flow Every day feel the rain fall down The flow of song so great to know The muse relates so hard to go Just leave a trace so you’ll know you made your mark

For a moment She believes Words by Don Pitz As time stands still, for a moment she believes And holds her watch so tightly in her hand As she grieves, she has nothing to believe It shatters into meaningless pieces The shell of what she knew, falls away so slowly Opening to let her spirit pass Swirling leaves, her fingers catch the breeze Breaking free her senses start to leave To lead her down A tormented soul, there! Flying free!

REVIEWS:
JDA . . . stands for Just Damn Amazing
by jef peace Rating: 9
JDA . . . harrumph! What does JDA mean? Juvenile Delinquents Association? Junkie Druggies Anonymous? Jamaican Drummers Association? Okay, okay, it really stands for Joel, Don and Arno, but to me it stands for Just Damn Amazing!

I listened to "Through A Moving Window" because it was submitted to PWMN fordistribution and I had to . . . then, I listened to it again because I wanted to . . . then again and again so I could write this unsolicited
review as a small "thank you" to JDA for creating this CD!
JEF PEACE ( RIP)


Through a moving Window:

Coming from a lush productions, and monstrous multi track recordings background I have been starving for a return to this format for years. Since the alternative rock movement all but destroyed anything requiring more then 3 instruments I have been dead from listener boredom for a decade. Through a Moving Window the new release from Brit rock style band JDA gives me hope that great production and lush multi track recordings could be making a comeback. The CD takes the listener on a labyrinthine journey that reminds me of music intended to take your mind, souls, and spirit somewhere while leaving everything else behind. Through a Moving Window will stimulate your brain, not your libido.

Charlie Harrelson, evor.com review

Reviewer: Jason Baskin CD Mothers

"JDA returns with THROUGH A MOVING WINDOW, having grown musically, and with a new collection of songs, each unique and special, yet somehow linked to each other." Absolutely wonderful, I heard these guys might be performing live!!! Let's hope so!
