Joey Green Band

This track was recorded live at a rock venue called Reigen in Vienna, Austria on September 16th, 2023. This composition was written and arranged by trombonist Alex Lag. Alex wrote this composition for his good friend and baritone sax player Martin Jank, who also with RayVille. This original, relaxed instrumental features, Helmut Strobl on the alto sax and Felicia Pistorius on the flute. The RayVille Big Band has been inspiring audiences in Austria since 2015. Co-founder and vocalist Joey Green lived in Vienna from 1999 until 2019. Known for their authentic, musical tributes to iconic artists such as Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and more recently Billy Joel, (wait till you hear THEIR version of Zanzibar!) these 4 tracks are a departure in the sense that the band is now creating original, dynamic, music of their own. If you like these 4 tracks here, don't forget to follow the band as more tracks from this amazing live performance will be posted in the coming days and weeks ahead on Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple, etc.... What's more, if you are fortunate enough to be in Vienna on Saturday, April 20th at (8:30 pm) you can catch them at Reigen! Recorded & Engineered by Stefan Gutenthaler Mixed & Mastered by Joey Green

Blood Is Thicker Than Water The past is always present, In everything we do. Broken promises, faithless lies, Inside of me and you. The door was always open. You were always free to go. The only thing I ever---asked of you, Was that you kindly let me know. And now I’m seein for the first time in our life, That you were never, really ever, ever my wife. Although I thought you were the lover of my life. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. But I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. Blood is thicker than water. You were never my daughter. I guess I shouldn’t blame you, for my heartache and my pain. You only gave me what you got, And It’s comin' round again. It’s like the wind sweepin over the sea. The Rain fallin' down from the sky. You can’t change it- can’t rearrange it. There’s that strange look in your eyes. And now I’m seein for the first time in our life, That you were never, really ever, ever my wife. Although I thought you were the lover of my life. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. But I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. Blood is thicker than water. You were never my daughter. I don’t wanna watch you sleepin’. I don’t wanna watch you dreamin’. I don’t wanna hear you breathin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no, no! I don’t wonder what you’re feelin’. I don’t wonder what your wearin’. I don’t wonder what your thinkin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no,no! I don’t wonder what your doin’. I don’t wonder who your lovin’. I don’t wonder what your sayin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no no! I don’t wanna see you cryin’. I don’t wanna here more lyin’. I don’t wanna see you smilin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no, no! And now I’m seein for the first time in our life, That you were never, really ever, ever my wife. Although I thought you were the lover of my life. Blood Is Thicker! And now I’m seein for the first time in our life, That you were never, really ever, ever my wife. Although I thought you were the lover of my life. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. Blood is thicker than water. You thought I was your father. I thought you were my lover. Blood is thicker than water. I don’t wanna watch you sleepin’. I don’t wanna watch you dreamin’. I don’t wanna hear you breathin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no, no! I don’t wonder what you’re feelin’. I don’t wonder what your wearin’. I don’t wonder what your thinkin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no no! I don’t wonder what your doin’. I don’t wonder who your lovin’. I don’t wonder what your sayin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no no! I don’t wanna see you cryin’. I don’t wanna here more lyin’. I don’t wanna see you smilin’. I don’t I don’t no, no, no, no!

Teardrops Watch out what you do. Be careful what you say. Don’t let the things you want in life, Stand in your way. Cos’ love is the hardest thing, To find in this ole’ world. If you get lucky and find it boy, You better hold on to it girl. Now I been round’ long enough to learn, This life ain’t just a dream. Things don’t always work out right. Life ain’t what it seems. You know you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. You can’t put the raindrops back in the sky. Can’t put the bad boys...

Heartbroke (Again) Alright now. Listen up. The devil’s been doin’ my wife. Time to get a brand new life. I found out from an SMS. He’s was blowin’ his fiery kiss. And now I’m tumblin’ down. I don’t know when it’s gonna end. She’s been sayin’ „Everything is fine.“ Now I know just what’s been on her mind. My heart's broke again. My heart’s been broke again. She’s been sleepin’ with another man. And my heart's broke again. Been goin’ on for a year And now I’m drownin’ in tears. My heart's been broke again Now I ain’t that naive, Hearts can sometimes change. Love--it comes and it goes. That ain’t nothing strange! For the sake of love, why not just say it’s so and let it go? Bye, bye, bye. Your world is spinning, when your lover leaves. But deception and betrayal, bring you to your knees. My heart’s broke again. My, my, my hearts been broke again. She’s been lovin’ another man. And my heart’s broke again. Been goin’ on for a year. I’m drownin’ in tears. My heart's been broke again. (SOLO SECTION) My heart’s broke again. My, my, my heart's been broke again. She’s been lovin’ another man. And my heart broke again. Been goin’ on for a year. I’m drownin’ in tears. My heart's been broke again My heart’s broke again. My, my, my heart's been broke again. She been lovin’ another man. And my heart been broke again. Been goin’ on for a year Now I’m drownin’ in tears. My heart's been broke again! Been goin’ on for a year. You know I’m drownin’ in tears. My heart broke again. Word & Music: Joey Green Band-copyright-2019 Recorded live at Casanova in Vienna, Austria in April, 2018.

Words & Music: Joey Green Band-2019 Recorded live at Casanova in Vienna, Austria in April, 2018. Other Side Of A Dream Livin’ on the inside---Is livin’ on the outside. What you think is up above is here below. A spider on my arm---Tryin’ to keep warm. I lie awake in bed— I'm wonderin’—does it dream tonight? Choices are given. Some are taken. The ones I make—They are calling me--back to my home. What would you say if I told you, Last night I had a dream, staring at the sun and it turned blue?...

An ode to one helluva year! New version featuring Justin "JJ" Jordan on guitar! “ 1977 “ I grew up in a family that wasn’t quite right. Mama on the couch, daddy out all night. I think they loved each though it seemed insane. Caught in the middle of a losin” game! Now, I’m not sayin” that we wasn”t loved. Daddy worked hard, mama was a dove. But the distance between them was just too wide. And when I look back now, I know why she cried. That was you, that was me, that was then---1977. Life was sweet, it was sometimes cruel---1977. My freshman year, I was a kind-a small. All my friends were gettin’ tall. I dressed like a clown, acted like one too. When I think back now it was all I could do. My sophomore year, I found my way. I joined my first band and we started to play. High-school dances on a Saturday night. Playin” Rock & Roll and feelin” right. She was the girl next door and she drove me mad. The first real lover, I ever had. What was missin’ back home to my surprise, I found it in her heart it was there in her eyes. That was you, that was me, that was then---1977. Skies were blue and limitless then--- in “77”. Runnin’ wild, runnin” loose, runnin’ free “77”. So many of us are gone. I hope there’s a heaven. INSTRUMENTAL SECTION There was Vietnam and Watergate. USA security state. Richard Nixon with his hand on his heart. Lyin’ through his teeth--perfecting the art. There were pissed off Arabs and angry Jews. Jimmy Carter tried, but what’s the use? Cause dyin’ is easy with god on your side. It’s livin’ that’s hard when you refuse to hide. Now, I’m not sayin’ it was good or bad. All I’m sayin’ is it was all we had. Grab your friends---get in your car. If you can’t be who you want---you better be who you are. That was you, that was me, that was then--- 1977. Skies were blue and limitless then----in “77”. Runnin’ wild, runnin” loose, runnin’ free---1977 . Life was sweet, it was sometimes cruel---1977. That was you, that was me, that was then back in “77”. So many of them are gone. I hope there’s a heaven. That was you, that was me, that was then--- 1977. So many of them are gone. I hope there’s a heaven.
