To the Moon

Fire and the fury shoot me through the stratosphere
Fire and the fury shoot me through the stratosphere
I'm sorry baby but you have to stay right here
When I look down you just spin round and round
When I look down you just spin round and round
Do you know that feeling when your feet don't seem to touch the ground?
Dreamed I saw you baby, you were all dressed in black
Dreamed I saw you baby, you were all dressed in black
The birds they keep on singing and I love you to the moon and back
Birds they keep on singing, I love you to the moon and back

Niagara Falls

Got a picture of you
at Niagara Falls
Summer’s long gone
and fall is falling
As we stare into
the water
tumbling down
Down
Annie went down
In a wooden barrel
Houdini swam
to the brink of death
There’s this one guy
who went over the edge
and he lived to tell
What a story to tell
He came back
to try it again
Tried to die
Tumble and dive
Diddle-ee-die
You’re wearing that shirt
A beauty that hurts

Lost My Heart

Want it, never say you don’t want it
Try me, see if I care
An eye for an eye
Trade a lie for a lie
If you start a fire
You should watch it burn
Need me, never say you don’t need me
Love, don’t go away
I saw you slaying dragons
Saw you fight the tears
If you start a fire
You shouldn’t be afraid to get burned
Lost my heart
Lost my mind
I lost my heart to you
Baby, I lost my heart to you

Down the Aisle

A house on the hill
if you say I will
remember all the good times
we have had
Just two steps to take
a promise I won't break
Down the rocky road
we go
I don't want to bear this cross of self-denial
The sky will turn blue when we walk down the aisle
Life's just too short, don't get bored, don't stop trying
Come on take my hand, before you know it, we are flying
Play your favorite song
Blue notes can't be wrong
turn up the volume
turn it louder
Do we have to wait
for a brand new day?
Wait so long to take
me higher
I don't want to bear this cross of self-denial
The sky will turn blue when we walk down the aisle
Life's just too short, don't get bored, don't stop trying
Come on take my hand, before you know it, we are flying
Come on take my hand before you know it, you gotta show it, I ain't lying

Gonna pick it up
One more time
Let it all go

Girl From Japan
03:07

I left my plane just two days ago
I’m on a train to Tokyo
There to meet my brown eyed girl
Sweetest thing in the whole wide world
I wanna scream as loud as I can
‘Cause I’m in love with a girl from Japan
I remember when I met her at the barber shop
My heart skipped a beat and my eyes did pop
Couldn’t help my head spinning ‘round
and my tongue it touched the ground
Wanna go like a bullet train goes
Go with my girl from Tokyo
We’re having a mighty good time
A few weeks later we went to Paris
Where we sang karaoke
Oh, she ran of with some new guy
Broke this poor old heart of mine
Wanna scream as loud as I can
‘Cause I’m in love with a girl from Japan

On My Way

On my way and I’m going
Back to the place where I left a long time ago
On a train, looking out the window
I see the trees and the green green grass
I could stay for a little while
Just to see your jaded smile
I could travel a hundred miles
But I know you won’t come back
On my way and you’re going
Save to say you don’t know who I am anymore
I won’t say life’s worth living
When you are just fading out in the end

All I Know

Ever since we're together
There's a sparkle in your eye
Let's keep this fire burning
Keep it burning through the night
All I know it's true
Baby, I love you
There's nothing I'd rather do
I'll get my act together
Promised. I won't let you down
Outside there's stormy weather
Dark clouds hanging over our town
In the light
All is bright
Don't let me fall
Into the night
Wake me up
fill my cup
with black morning coffee

Hollywood Stars

Slowly he goes
in a hole down below
The people stand by
with their oranges
Wind in the trees
a soft springy breeze
And I walk back
to reality
Did you see all the stars
over in Hollywood
Boulevard? They beam
Don't you agree
It is just unnecessary
to wake up from your dreams
The fruits they were thrown
in the hole down below
They fall down
Make a dull sound
The sun brightly shines
We pretend we're feeling fine
and then we drive
back home again

Until the Morning Comes
03:47
|

|
All alone
in the dark
I know
you're my friend
with me to the end
or until the morning comes
Hazy-dazy
I do feel lazy
I need some time
A coconut and lime
Is what I'm thinking of
After all is said and done
my mind is like the setting sun
And I wonder next time
Would I do it all again?
Water's burning
my head’s turning
and I'm long gone
So long John
Until the morning comes

Johnny Amsterdam, Netherlands
Guitarist and songwriter Johnny hails from Amsterdam, but is slowly but surely carving out a space for himself in the American folk tradition. His acoustic guitar and a set of cowboy chords establish the foundation of his debut album Collecting Dinosaurs. For his lo-fi indie folk sound, Johnny doesn’t need much more than a subtle bass line, minimalistic drums, and a synthesizer or pedal steel. ... more
Johnny recommends:
Johnny plays guitar and pedal steel in Juan Juan. Lo-fi indie and alt-country.
