you'll never fall in love because you don't believe in it, it's true you'll never fall in love the words just seem meaningless to you but how do date someone who could never potentially say those magic three words "I love you......" I love you. . . . . I love you . . . . . . . I love you . . . it's people like you, that make it rain on a clear day and it's people like you, who watch fox news everyday. you'll never fall in love because you don't believe in it ,it s true you'll never fall in love the words just seem meaningless to you. And one day you'll end up alone and you'll die, choking on a fish bone and you'll ask why didn't I ever say those magic three words. . .

Riverside 03:11
if you think all is lost here in jacksonville, i've got a little story to tell you right across the street there's a cute couple i think you'd like to meet this is their sotyr i think it's kidn of sweet they met on the fourth of july down there in riverside while i played a little tune nearby she was wearing short shorts and he was wearing his old beat up converse shoes he said wouldjn't you like to go for a couple of beers and she said 'why not' i'd love a cold one so they got down to it, they danced. they discussed things like-their future romance. and their favorite beatles song. how whiskey was their choice of drink, and people in sandles make them sick it was the beginning of it all they worked out a plan, exchanged numbers he kissed her on the hand, and she said 'i hope to see you again i had a great time' he called her the next day, and took her to a bbq where she got introduced to the whole crew and they laughed and they danced and they talked about, how rare it is to meet somebody that you, connect with without even trying. they spent the whole night together, and they made love for their first time ever underneath jacksonville's starry skies now that is their story short and sweet. it's helped me to realize, that everything in jacksonville isn't just a pack of lies there's hope if we're willing to stick with it and you can meet someone who doesn't make you sick and share the good times while we still have them and you can laugh, you can talk, you can dance you can even start a new romance all here in jacksonville.

Undo 03:44
It's hard to move on, when you know you had the best and it's hard to move on, when you're heart won't stay in your chest and all those memories, all come flooding back, every single second of the day. I'm so tired of being tired of missing you I'm so tired of wishing you were here with me. We can make amends, I would take you carefully Just hold my hand, forgive everything. Pardon my care, I'd put the pieces back into one. You've moved along there, I try to avoid where we'd become. Lovers, and friend's, the secrets you told me about your past, are all that I have left to bare. and I'm so tired of being tired of missing you I'm so tired of wishing you were here with me. I'd do it again, rewrite the story with a new end Replacing the things that went wrong. They say time will heal it all, but I don't want to move now. even with days as dark as these. Erase your name a thousand times and my mind is still not clear. I'd close my eyes and wish you were here.

Call Me 03:57
you know i don't like it when you tell me how great i am and you kiss me with those lips and tell me you'll call me the next day you know i don't like it when you get my ego up there and play with my hair while telling me i'm amazing don't tell me you'll call me the next day if you don't plan to that's kind of gay and i think you should go to hell cause people that don't call back are. . not okay in my book you need to be more grown up and don't tell people lies you suck at life and can't be a part of mine so get the hell out of here I never want you near My body again. your a loser, the end. don't try to tell me you were busy because if you were so busy you wouldn't have wasted your time talking to me last night. don't tell me that you're life is crazy because i know a life that's crazy it's mine, but I still make time to call you don't tell me you'll call me the next day if you don't plan to that's kind of gay and i think you should go to hell cause people that don't call back are. . not okay in my book you need to be more grown up and don't tell people lies you suck at life and can't be a part of mine so get the hell out of here I never want you near My body again. your a loser, the end. I"m sorry to disclose this in a song. but, you know you did me wrong and there can't be more people like this thinking it's okay to get away with this diss

Single 01:29
I"m single it seems Just as single can be It can be so lonely, tedious, and boring Wake up all alone. Go to work then come home. Make my dinner by myself and have a beer Sure I can go on dates everyday See whomever I wish to see But when I go home. It's me all alone. When I wish I could somebody's we

Liar of 2008 05:06
Waking up @ 3 This is me, my life Boundaries that you can't handle. Test me, love me, kiss me, touch me. Confuse me with hazes from your night. Talk, well talk, minutes into hours. Words that trail into air, with countless repetitions. My brain so soft from stress and frustration. Your face it's been misleading. Worth what's worth, these lies. Broken trusts and walls, your age it isn't fitting. Look let's look at this time. Chop it up to learning, love and pain aren't worth your fame.

Open Waters 04:24
As I watched autumn fall Alone with you, far away. Clarity blew my way, In the form of winter's call. Clenching my winter coat tight. I dreamt of memories long ago. Bodies entwined with lust. Sweating our reservations away. You looked at me. I walked away, and you followed. Both of us wondering should we follow or go? I knew you then, a boy so shallow and awkward. Groping to feelings and bodies and washing our eyes closed. First of our firsts, we cried with our mouths. Bringing emotions, neither knew we had. Forgetting all social interactions, and problems. Our bubble, our world our existence was solo Some asked us then, or told us our love was fleeting That both our hearts weren't beating, it was only a trick. His prick of my loins, the addiction was mearly a symptom. Our problem much bigger than we were willing to admit. We laughed at them then. Telling them our love was a shadow. Of a story too monumental for such kids. Soon they would find, each year in passing. Our epic tale to be everlasting. As months blew past, I watched him grow smaller. A fraction of the boy, whom my heart had fallen fast for. Ignoring the signs, and believing we were immortal Our future plans, he'd never show up for. i looked at him, watching him die slowly in the hospital bed that ate him whole. he told me then, he would never be the same. He'd haunt me for sure, but for me not to be afraid.

Ghosts 04:36
Shhh she said as we walked into the room. The ghosts will see us if we talk. At First I didn't see them, just their shadows on the floor. Our shadows gone, their shadows here. Mother's voice in my head, I won't step on a crack. Cries in the doorways and broken window-panes. I can smell her the mix of flowers and the faint smell of milk on her breath. If I stand still she'd turn around with the question 'why' in her face. I wouldn't do it to her again. Our Ghosts trail us, but we try to ignore them Our ghosts visit and I kiss her to show I don't care Our ghosts walking through us everyday, making sure we don't forget. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. When she wakes up each morning I breathe a sigh of relief. I'd put her socks on if she'd ask me to, just to have her remember it when she steps in a puddle later. Mother's voice in my head, I won't step on a crack. She's the only one I'd ever get close enough to let break my heart. Our Ghosts ride our train, try to make us feel their pain Our Ghosts shake hands, conspiring to torment us again. Our Ghosts, walking through us everyday, making sure we don't forget. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. If there is something I can do to keep them from getting to you, I'd do it. If there is something I can do, I'd wait one thousand years, if I had to. i'd do it. If there was something I could do, but they know they already won. Goodbye,goodbye,goodbye

about

2009-2010 were the makings of my self-titled album 'Jemibook'. It features songs from 2008 to 2010. Some favorites that I never released but a lot of new songs that I have fallen in love with. The cover art features two siamese ghosts which was drawn by a friend of mine . The songs on this album run the gamot, from songs about lame people who don't call you back, to dealing with being in love with someone who just can't get it right, to an homage to being single. This album features the song 'Undo' which was made into a music video thanks to the help of my amazing friends in Minneapolis. Three of the songs on this album [Undo / Never Fall in Love / Call Me] were made even more delightful with the help of my good friend and amazing musician Javier Padron of Claw Like Things.

Jemibook Oakland, California

Jemibook came to be one day late in 2006 when Jem realized that it's easier to pick up a toy ukulele at a wal-mart and make your own band then wait around for people's schedules to work out together.
