MAKE IT REAL Copyright John Common Music i remember you told me a secret that when it feels right, your heart breaks to pieces when it feels right, there’s hardly a sound and everything inside comes crashing down if it don’t bleed… if it don’t love… thoughtless lovers still hanging around make my heart feel like a ghost town but quiet is the night and soft is the sound when everything inside comes crashing down if it don’t bleed… if it don’t love… if it don’t breathe… make it real, bring it down from the air scare me and tear me ‘til I’m open and bare make it feel like we’re already there make it real, make it real i remember you told me a secret that when it feels right, your heart breaks to pieces www.johncommon.com

YOU AINT BROKEN copyright john common Life can be so mean and cruel Make you feel like such a fool Take you back to middle school Lost your way, Lost your cool You left your heart open wide Someone shoved a knife inside So you filled the hole with wounded pride No one knows the scars you hide You’re not a lover, you’re not a friend You won’t ever trust again, Took your bitter medicine Washed it down with could’ve been’s But when you come to something tough And you don’t think you’re strong enough Remember… You aint broken, You aint broken You aint broken, You’re just scared I know you wanna hide, I know you wanna run But when you wanna run, stay right there You aint broken, you’re just scared You’re sealed off, you’re shut down You’re breakin’ hearts all over town You wear your scars like a crown No one ever turns you into their clown You’re made of stone, you’re made of steel You know the game, you know the deal You’re in control now, hand on the wheel Drive away ‘cause people don’t heal But when you come to something tough And you don’t think you’re strong enough Remember… You aint broken, You aint broken You aint broken, You’re just scared I know you wanna hide, I know you wanna run But when you wanna run, stay right there You aint broken, you’re just scared www.johncommon.com

about

I’ve been thinking about making this record, this way, for years… and now it’s here. Thanks for listening, John Common

---------

It was summer of 2018. John gathered his closest friends and musical mates, filled his house with recording gear, guitars, lyric sheets, an audio enginer and a film crew, and a fair amount of whisky. They all walked to the edge of the cliff (so to speak), held hands, hit record, and jumped together.

They made a live record that is simple, spacious, quiet, gorgeous, painfully honest, and difficult to forget. They recorded it all in one room, live, together. These songs are little movies, every one. And the moments that John Common (songs, vocals, guitars), Jess Denicola (vocals), and Joe Mazza (guitars) caught over those two days of recording are… well, you should just listen to them yourself.

The EP is named THE LOW WINES. It’s a reference to the unrefined part of the whisky distilling process. The low wines aren’t trying to impress anyone. And they pretty much kill you or make you go blind if you drink them. They’re raw and unproduced and still becoming… but when you do them right, they turn into something beautiful.

about

JOHN COMMON Denver

Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
