Went to the Village Vanguard in NYC a couple weeks ago to watch Brad Mehldau play (​beautiful/​bad-​ass, jazz oriented piano player) as a trio featuring Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums....What a special night...for so many reasons... So moving. I'd never been in that room before, nor seen him play. It was fantastic.


I wish I had a recording of that night. The trio played some new tunes. My favorite Brad Mehldau tune is titled "When it Rains". He has a few Radiohead covers like "Everything in It's Right Place" and "Paranoid Android" that are really beautiful. He didn't do any of those tunes that night at the Vanguard but nevertheless every song was magical. If you aren't familiar with him yet, check him out....

Put the Blame on You
(M.Mathes/J. Deaderick/Audley Freed 2008)
(Lyrics by John & Melissa)


Place your bet in the hat and I'll pull out a magic number
Did I say that aloud? I woke the baby from his slumber
I don't know what I did, but it's your lucky day
I'll give you some space and I'll walk away

How long should I try to hold on?
I don't want to say goodbye, it's a sad song
But walking backwards in time, just ain't no good

How tragic it is, I never thought you'd really leave me
Not everything's hard, but not everything is easy
When I'm feeling so much
You do all that you can
To feel nothing at all
Why don't you act like a man?

There's no shouldn't or should I?
When you couldn't you could try
Baby, I'm not trying to put the blame on you

Time to figure out what's right
Tell me baby, what's right?
Time to figure out what's right
Tell me baby….what's right?

I don't know what I did, but if it's my lucky day
You'll make this easy on me, if you're walking away

How long should I try to hold on
There's no shouldn't or should I?
Walking backwards in time aint no good
When you couldn't you could try
I don't want to say goodbye, it's a sad song
I'm not trying to put the blame on you

NOW THAT I KNOW
(Melissa Mathes/John Deaderick)

What have I done, I can't stop crying
Now that your gone, I feel like dying
I've been a fool, took you for granted
Only a fool could push you away

All of the doubts
Things that aren't real
Projecting, expecting too much
The things that I love
The things that you hate
The same things that make
My heartbreak

Now that I know I won't have to ask

Maybe you're right, we're not the same
The best that I've got is no reason to stay
So I'm moving on, pick up the pieces
I've got to give more than I take

I wallow and weep
An act out of fear
Things that I can't control
But I won't go on telling myself
That you're all I need and nobody else

Now that I know I won't have to ask
Now that I know I won't have to ask

When I think about the ways that we used to laugh
And when I think about the ways you seemed to understand
When I think about the ways you seemed to laugh when you used to cry
You used to try, you used to lie

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-Now that I know I won't have to ask
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-Now that I know, you won't hear me ask

NO REASON TO CRY
(M. Mathes/J. Deaderick )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Never seen so many stars
How tiny we become
A band of light around the moons, Saturn and Mars
So much time has passed since I was young

We're all learning every day
If you're a kid or if you're grown
The ways in which I knew you then
Always felt that love was shown

Every morning you are the sun that shines for
Better days love, and I won't leave you behind
Wonder why, I ever have a doubt
Either way, Either way things work out
Out of nowhere, Reach up and touch the sky
It's so clear, when you get to the end of the day

When u cover up my eyes
During all the scary scenes,
Or when I hear you laugh aloud-
You kiss away my darkest dreams

I hope I've been a good daughter, sister, friend to you
You have my word. I'll always try
Don't think about the things you wish you would've done
It's not a good reason to cry,


Every morning, I'll be your sun that shines
Wonder why, we ever have a doubt cuz
Either way, We know it will all work out
Out of nowhere, Reach up and touch the sky
It's so clear, when we get to the end of the day

Don't matter which way whether
It's rain or it's sunny weather
There's no which way that's better
Don't matter which way whether
It's rain or it's sunny weather
There's no which way that's better than just knowing you're there
And I know you're always there-CHORUS

SINK OR SWIM
Lyrics by: Melissa Mathes 10-14-08
Music by: John Deaderick/MM


Talking to you, talking sweet
It's getting late and we're in the street
Somebody flashed their lights on us
Just in time for you to come up for air
It's raining cats and dogs-are we
Swimming or sinking here?

Tell me what you really want
Am I ghost in your graveyard now?
Before you shoot focus your aim
Who's the pilot flying this plane?
I'm sick of pretending
I don't feel a thing

And when it's right you'll feel it
And if you're going to act than mean it
Don't take more than you can carry
Another bone for you to bury....I can't promise that I will hold on

We're standing at the table
I'm curious what you might say
I'm bringing tears to your party now
I've got more feeling than you will allow
I'm an open book always
Yet I'm your hiding place

And when it's right you'll feel it
And if it's right you'll mean it
At times I think we can do better
If we were to stay together
Either way I know we will be fine

Okay I'll stop it, we won't talk about it
Some days are heartbreak that's all there is to it
I don't really know what it happening with you
I don't really know where you are. Where you are….now

WHERE I FOUND YOU
(Melissa Mathes/John Dearick)



About to rain
The wind it strong
April showers
You'll be coming home

You have my undivided attention when you whisper on the line
Play a song that makes me smile
I can hear it down the stairs and through the hall

Are you lonely miles away?
Havana must be such a drag
Tomorrow you'll be coming home
Outside my window. That's where I found you
