Add to EJ Playlist  Christopher Stephen Botti or Chris Botti [BOH-tee] (born October 12, 1962) is an American trumpeter and composer. Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Corvallis, Oregon, he spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher. He plays a Martin Committee Handcraft trumpet made in 1940, and uses a 3 silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece. He counts Miles Davis among his most significant influences. Botti attended Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon where he studied under Larry McVey whose renowned jazz program had come to be a regular stop for Stan Kenton and Mel Tormé when they were looking for new players. It was here he played alongside his friend, trombonist and future Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Todd Field. After leaving Mount Hood, Botti studied under David Baker and Bill Adam at Indiana University.

The slowest night The slowest dance You sway across the room As in a dream An empty house With empty rooms I loved you so But now you leave Go, and leave if you must know And go, I never wanted you to know Go We ran away Or so we thought Now I know you were told to go To know love, to show love And go To give love, to feel loved And go I fell asleep Washed up on the shore I kissed my son christopher He moved to speak No words could reach me But one once knew Go love, and learn by your desire And know love You're the only reason why I'm terrified to go To know love, to show love Go To give love, to feel loved Go To know love, to show love I'm begging you to go

Let the horses run You're deserting mine Catch the thread-bare strains Of departing trains Bound for the last goodbyes You thought you'd think you'd know You're sure you did your care She was always there For you to kick around But now she's let you down Now she's gone to stay With the frost and pray If God could hear her prayers Would he care Valentine, heart of mine Come and ease my worried mind It's plain to see I'm not so free Valentine, heart of mine And from a window You spy her ghost Laughing ground And taking notes It seemed so easy To put it down And leave the wreckage For someone else Valentine, heart of mine Take this blood This broken vine It's plain to see I ain't so free Valentine, heart of mine You smell her hair Everywhere you go You see her lips When you're leaving notes Oh, Valentine She's never around Leaves you cold to have and hold Valentine, heart of mine Come and ease my worried mind It's plain to see I'm not so free Valentine, heart of mine

I Need You Around (Blissed And Gone) The sun has blessed The rays are gone And all the kids have left their tears and gone home Sweet 17, sour 29 And I can't explain myself What I'd hoped to find You're all so kind Without her here Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you Maybe I need you all right now Maybe I need you around I had no luck I had no shame I had no cause, just 17 days of rain And you in my eyes Just one more song to slay this earth And I can't explain myself Just what it's worth It's all I had, but not all I need And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed It's all to steep Without her here Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you around I had no voice I had no drive I had no choice I had no crime I had myself I had my band I had my love Had no hand in watching it all fall apart Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you around Maybe I need you Maybe I need you all right now Maybe I need you around Notes: Fans originally referred to this song as "Need." Was labeled as "I Need You Around" on the Adore demo tape.

Add to EJ Playlist  Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr began as a punk band in the late 70s called "Johnny & the self abusers". After an unsuccessful single, they decided to recruit other members and change the style of music as well as the name to become Simple Minds. My favorite Song.

Add to EJ Playlist  A song That I love + An album I love = me making a video to share with everyone. Let me know how it is. Off of the 1995 album Good news from the next world.

Add to EJ Playlist  Not like the Machina I version, as this version features guitar and drums. Less tech-oriented for the Smashing Pumpkin fans that arent too fond of the Techno Pumpkins. Taken from Machina II.
