G League Lyric Video
Continuing with the ongoing effort to catch up with content that I’ve previously released as music only. I’ve got a new lyric video releasing today. This one is for people who are fans of the recently renamed basketball league that is now known as the G League. If you’re not familiar with the G League, it’s the minor league of the NBA. As of 2019 it has expanded to a bunch of new markets. Added a slew of new teams and even renamed some of the old teams.
Here’s the lyric video in all of it’s glory:
Enjoy, share, and watch multiple times.
p.s. this was released as the title track on all the G League mixes. Hear it here.
Till We Meet Again Lyric Video
My oh my, there’s a another new lyric video in town. This time around it’s for the song Till We Meet Again. This incredible ditty that was dubbed “Your Purple Rain” by the co-producer of the track George Leger III. I wrote it with the amazing Jesse Stern. Like the song there is a bit of journey in the lyric video.
Because I could sit here and rattle on for days, I know you’d rather just watch the damn thing:
Follow it. Roll it. Mark it. Share it.
Above all, know that I am grateful that you’ve spent time taking it in.
New Lyric Video
There’s a new lyric video in town. It’s for my single A Perfect Man. There’s a certain satisfaction in knowing that I got way behind on doing things for songs I’ve released. Scratch that, that’s a lie. I kinda went into recording mode only – where I dealt only with the studio recorded version of the song, released it and then did nothing further **.
Without further ado, here’s the lyric video for A Perfect Man:
Enjoy it. Share it. Love it. List it.
I’m grateful you’ve stopped by to see and hear it.
** There’s a bit more of sordid story as to what caused this, you can read about it here.
The official lyric video for Touch (feat. Jacarri) is now available. You can see it hear now!
Touch (feat. Jacarri) Lyric Video [Explicit]
Lyrics for the song are here!
This was quite a process to arrange. Very weird feeling to have someone writing all over your body. Praise the higher powers that a sharpie wasn’t accidentally switched out for the special skin ink style pen that was used. This took about 4 hours or more to complete the filming of. Having to pick out body parts to write on and then making sure the naked bits that seem to offend so many Americans weren’t in the frame during shooting. Whew. What a process.
Enjoy this unique way of getting the lyrics from Touch (feat. Jacarri)!

One of my first successful co-writes was All The Things with Greg Watton. It happens to be the subject of today’s post. Mostly because I thought it prudent to make a lyric video for it in an acoustic environment. The bonus is that you get to see and hear what I’m singing and how I played the acoustic guitar part in the song. It was written just before I had gone to a songwriter’s conference and it was one of several songs that A&R people from the major labels were interested. That’s always a shot in the arm to boost one’s confidence in what they’re doing. Greg and I have written a few other songs – but none have made to the airwaves yet.

Lyrics & song by Jody Whitesides, Greg Watton
Ever since I was a kid Everyone picked on me
Growing up was the hardest thing For a boy with no self esteem
So I found a little place In the backyard of my mind
Disappeared without a trace Didn’t want them to find me
For every year that passed me by
There was less of me to recognize
I wish I made more room to grow
Instead I hid I didn’t know
All The Things that people say
All The Things that people do
Will bring you down When you let it get to you
All The Things that you don’t know
All The Things that make you fall
Doesn’t really matter When you rise above it all
Now that I’ve become a man You were there to walk me through
Facing each memory Of those who harmed me
Now that I’m trusting you I’ve started exploring everything
Emotions that may drown me Like a river pouring out-
(Chorus)
Finished with the words that hurt
Finished with feeling like dirt
No use living in regret
Instead its best to forget
(Chorus)
Enjoy yourself!
Ah Falling In. This is one of those songs where I constantly get asked to play it. Especially for the girls. Must be something about the acoustic guitar and a guy singing at them that causes them to swoon. Aw who the hell am I kidding. It’s the fact the song is about what every girl or woman on this planet wants. That is, to fall in love. At least all the ones I’ve met. I decided to essentially throw down a live acoustic performance of the song then put up the lyrics on it. What better way to enjoy and ‘read’ the song at the same time. For those out there who’s wondered – how the hell is he playing that song?!? Wonder no more. It’s pretty plain as day to see what it is that I’m doing guitar wise on the song.
Yes, that’s slap ‘n’ pop on an acoustic guitar. It all came down from a dare from someone who felt slap ‘n’ pop couldn’t be effective for playing a guitar. I took that challenge and Falling In was the result. Another tidbit about the song is that major songwriters whom I’ve shared the stage with have always been amazed by the guitar line and how it works with the melody. One of the funniest comments from a star writer was “You’re a victim of your own coolness with that song.” It’s definitely one that people always comment on. In fact, I ask you to comment on it too.
Falling In
In the speechless hush of the 5 a.m.
She’ll spy upon what my sleeping brings in
And if the coffee burns before we see again
The she’d never learn how my feelings creep in
I better grab her with both arms
And hold on tight ‘cause shes’s
Falling in to trouble
Falling in to my life
Falling in to fables
Falling in and it feels so right
In a crowd of thoughts I can wonder how
I’ll ever figure out what may be in her head
And if the world should end before we meet again
Then I’ll never know what two lovers can hold
She better grab me with both arms
And hold on tight ‘cause I’m
Falling in to trouble
Falling in to her life
Falling in to fables
Falling in and it feels so right
Through the course of the day
I think of things to say
And then they fade away
In the course of a fight
I feel things aren’t right
Then it goes all night
We’re falling in to trouble
Falling in to our lives
Falling in to fables
Falling in and it feels so right
Hit me up with your rendition of my tune. Especially want to see all the budding guitarists out there playing along!
Back in 2011 I had a song I had cowritten with Johnny Elkins appear in a movie starring Colin Hanks. That movie is called “Lucky”. Ever since it’s release I’ve had people contacting me about the song “Happy When I’m With You” which appears in the middle of the movie as the song playing over the montage sequence. People wanting to know what the words are can now do their own karaoke of it with the video below. The only place to purchase the song is here Buy Now.

Transcript:
“Welcome. Thank you for stopping by in order to watch the official lyric video for Happy When I’m With You, the song that appears in the movie Lucky starring Colin Hanks.”
Doesn’t matter the time or the place
Only know there’s a smile taking over my face
Always seems to be here when you’re there
Just feel it inside and it’s in the air
I’m happy when I’m with you
I’m hap-a hap-a hap-a happy when I‘m with you
Doesn’t really matter what we do
I’m hap-a hap-a hap-a happy when I‘m with
Happy when I’m with you
Jumping over the sun dancing under the rain
Acting seriously or completely insane
Ain’t no place on earth that I’d rather be
Then with me next to you and you next me
Chorus:
When I’m with you there’s sunshine
In my heart the whole time
Everybody around us is catching the feelings
We’re feeling
Chorus Out:
