about

A song I wrote in 1990 or so and played with my band in Illinois, the band of good friends that kept changing names. This song always had a lot of energy and spunk. This iteration has an autoharp in the foreground and a prodigious amount of shekere and maraca on the rhythm side.

lyrics

You’re locked in a room
Without any walls
You’ve locked yourself in a room
With thousands of doors

You say the same ole, same ole
Same old nothing
The future is out there
Tomorrow is everywhere

You can change what you couldn’t before
Rearrange these walls to make doors

And find your answer
Find your answer

You’re leaving the room
Escaping the state of mind
Flying high
Over those walls to find

Intangible forces
That hold you each day
Same ole junk
Don’t let them keep you at bay

You can change what you couldn’t before
Rearrange these walls to make doors

And find your answer
Find your answer

Reaching outside
Leaving the state of mind
Traveling wide
Opening eyes to find

The same ole same ole
Same old nothing
Tomorrow is out there
The future is everywhere

You can change what you couldn’t before
Look for the positive keys to the doors

And find your answer
Find your answer

about

Jan Dylan Hunter image

Jan Dylan Hunter Santa Rosa, California

I play all the instruments on all my recordings unless otherwise noted, my main tools being guitar, keyboard and percussion.

I grew up in the Virgin Islands where I learned steel pan, percussion and clarinet.

Since then living in other states like California exposed me to more culture. Recent trips throughout Europe and the US have also really widened my musicabulary.
-Still taking it all in. ... more
