Stand Up (Beautiful Note)

from The Circle by Jim Shepherd (Jasmine Minks)

/

  • The Circle LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The album’s 12 brand new songs prove that Shepherd’s songwriting is
    still on fire, with a fantastic production by Dave Morgan, strings, and
    stunning Beach Boys/Byrds-style harmony vocals. Many moods and
    styles are captured: it’s a real journey....maan! Dig it!

    Creation Records diehards who swooned over The Jasmine Minks’
    wonderful Cold Heart, got their Mod kicks to the band’s Where the
    Traffic Goes, shook their stuff to Dave Morgan’s drumming on Primal
    Scream’s debut album Sonic Flower Groove or the Weather Prophets’
    Almost Prayed ain’t going to be disappointed with anything here.
    And you don’t need to be a fan of the aforementioned or even know
    anything about that whole scene to dig this album. It’s rock & roll, it’s
    soul, it’s psychedelic, it’s spiritual and it’s good for ya!

    The fifty-first release on Spinout Nuggets, this record will be available
    via the label, the band and all very good record outlets.

    Catch Jim and The Pillars Of Creation perform the album live at The
    Lexington, London on Sunday April the 17th.

lyrics

Feeling good that special note
The one that makes you full of hope
The one that makes your nerves tingle
Makes you want to jump off your seat

How do you produce that Mr Producer
How do you mix that Mr Mixer
A delight to my ears
All the best of all the years

That groove
That loose feel
No effort
It's just automatic
Oh it just happens

One day the whole world will realise
At exactly the same time
Same day, same hour, same minute, same second
It's that one note everybody can sing

It's Love, it's hate
Can be early, can be late
It's dumb, it's blind
It's music of all times

Stand up
Be counted
Be Free
Don't tie me down
Oh it just happens

Tell me Mr Producer - how do produce it
Tell me Mr Mixer - what's the secret of that beautiful note
Spiritual feelings - on a high
Feeling good
Groove to what you do
Stop fighting
Stop moonlighting
Don't work so hard
For what?
Wishing - stop it
Dreaming - stop it
Spiritual feelings
On a high
Feeling good - oh oh
Stand Up
Be counted
Be free
Don't tie me down
