about

"finally, Joshua Jesty will be with you in a minute" is a collection of songs Joshua wrote and recorded in the spring of 2008 after A. getting bored of watching open mics in which people played 6 minute long songs that went nowhere B. finding out that the only recording software he had available to him while on the road could only record minute long snippets and C. feeling overwhelmed and wanting to get away from working on "Girl".

In the spring of 2010 he wrote and recorded a few new songs for the collection, took out a few of the older tunes he thought were duds and now here it is, about 2 years after it's initial "online streaming only" release, for you to have and hold, in your ears.

All songs written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Joshua Jesty in a small room that is still most likely bigger then your studio apartment if you live in New York or LA.

Mastered by John Walsh at Lava Room recording studios, Cleveland Ohio

Track Name: a minute of your time
if I could have a minute of your time
I would show you the possibilities
that all the day to day can easily push out of your sight

we can go wherever it is we want
and have the dumbest epiphanies
and watch the people all around
just swallow themselves whole

but I know you're with him so I should just forget
cause it's a minute I'll never get
Track Name: any moment now
when you unbutton the top button of your shirt
I know when it comes to you I wanna be an expert
when you're willing to accept you could get hurt
I know when it comes to you I wanna be an expert

all there is to know is we've got now
don't let it go to waste
in case of emergency
lay your body next to me
any moment now we'll be in pieces

be in pieces
any moment now
Track Name: skirt
mary, the skirt you are wearing is very
revealing and I don't know why
I can't help look at you more

mary, the skirt you are wearing is so revealing
why can't you show off your feelings
just like your legs?
Track Name: i don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
how I stack up, next to him
I just wanna know
if my memory still hangs around or sometimes sneaks in

cause it's not fair, and it can't be all
I'm invincible baby, but I'm not indestructible
and it's not fair, and you just can't hide
and let all the things that were said and done
be nullified

I don't wanna know
how I stack up, next to him
I just wanna know
if my memory still hangs around, or sometimes sneaks in
Track Name: it's your freaking birthday!
it's your freaking birthday!
happy freaking birthday!
happy freaking birthday to you!

you are one year older
or so I would assume
cause it's the day that you escaped
the jail of your moms womb

look at ya
you're old enough to be awesome
Track Name: rabbit
I know you're scared
I see you walking away
and there's the whole matter
of how we don't talk much these days

if you ever come out of hiding

I'm begging you to see
I'm begging you to see
that I'm right here waiting to hold you in my arms
Track Name: scatterbrained girl
you keep hopping around
from the next, to the next, to the next
scatterbrained girl

you give up to easily when there's
so much left, so much left, so much left
in this ridiculous world

I don't mind that you
left me behind

cause whether you're in love
or you've had enough

I'll catch up to you
scatterbrained girl
Track Name: how'd you manage to forget?
wake up, go to work, go to bed

get swarmed with all the lies that you once said
hope for a moment I remember what it's like
to not feel so lost, not feel so dead
god damn you
how'd you manage to forget?

wake up, go to work, go to bed
Track Name: freaky sexy clown jam
baby hop in my car
shoosh be quiet now cause there's nothing to say
I just wanna get freaky with you like a clown in may
that's not wearing any shoes

baby leave the lights on
didn't you hear I wanted to do freaky clown stuff?
put on little scrunchy noses and make up
and hit you with my seltzer water
that's not a metaphor
I'm talking about seltzer water
Track Name: she won't admit
yeah she won't admit
that she likes me
yeah she could commit
but it's unlikely

hey there I've been seeing you
running around, running round like a fool
yeah I've been seeing you
running around, running around hiding

yeah she won't admit
that she likes me
yeah she could commit
but it's unlikely

and I could give it up
I could concede
but if I really quit
she wouldn't like it
Track Name: the only thing I regret
the only thing I regret about us
is I never danced with you
so if we ever meet again
please be a dancing fool

I don't care about the clothes you wear
or the way you do your hair
I don't even need a beat
just you and me to sway

the only thing I regret about us
is I never danced with you
so if we ever meet again
please be a dancing fool
Track Name: the last word
though more time has passed
your memory lasts
and all I have to say

is I miss you
but not as much as you'll miss me
some day
Track Name: mini van halen
hey there lady what you doing with that boy?
took care of you, sucked out all your joy

how you gonna see me with your blinders on?

there must be some kind of way to reach you

rock kick
Track Name: do the mess it up
do you wanna hear a brand new dance I made up just last night
first you have to grab someone who means something to you and get them by your side
then you stare blankly into each others eyes
hands up, hands tied

then you mess it up, then you make it right

dance with me
Track Name: I'm your man
when I made you laugh it felt like I had saved everybody in existence
then there was your boyfriend looking pretty safe, and of course there is the distance

but if you want something you can never have

I'm your man
Track Name: find
I hope you find everything that you're looking for
out in the stars or far across the sea
but if you can't find what it is you're looking for
I hope you find your way back to me
