Let Me Go 04:10
Didn't want to go and mess around So I packed my things Left you some money and my ring Don't want you to hurt for anything I'm just trying to be kind You've been heavy on my mind You know I can't stay I know that you need Something you can't get from me It's better off this way So let me go baby - Don't cry Let me go darling – I don't mind So let me go baby - Don't cry Cause I can't be the one that you've been waiting for Didn't want to be the one to bring you down But it's up to me It's my responsibility I gotta be a man and set you free Cause you had your dreams And hard as it seems It's better off this way I'd just be keeping you down Don't need me around anyhow I just get in your way So let me go baby - Don't cry Let me go darling – I don't mind So let me go baby - Don't cry Cause I can't be the one that you've been waiting for So let me go baby - Don't cry Let me go darling – I don't mind So let me go baby - Don't cry Cause I can't be the one that you've been waiting for If you get lonely You ever find yourself looking for me... don't You can't trust those memories of us We can't go back to the way it was So let me go baby - Don't cry Let me go darling – I don't mind So let me go baby - Don't cry Cause I can't be the one that you've been waiting for

Divide You 03:30
It starts Like any ordinary thing One spark Turns into a flame Control Has always been the plan One world A brotherhood of man Then... All you touch And all you say All the dirty tricks you play Everything you thought you knew They're all lies that won't come true At first They divide you Then when They decide to They're just in time to save the day And tell you there's a better way But take to long to contemplate By then it might be too late At first They divide you And do what They decide to No we can't let them win No time to decide We've got to begin You know Nothing comes for free And you know They’ve been lying on TV Freedom Doesn't come that cheap Times up It's time to earn your keep When.... All you touch And all you say All the dirty tricks you play Everything you thought you knew They're all lies that won't come true At first They divide you Then when They decide to They're just in time to save the day And tell you there's a better way But take to long to contemplate By then it might be too late At first They divide you And do what They decide to No we can't let them win No time to decide We've got to begin All you touch and all you say All the dirty tricks you play Everything you thought you knew They were lies that won't come true And pennies that you pinched away Saving for a rainy day Everyone you thought you knew They're all gone, and it's all true At first They divide you Then when They decide to They're just in time to save the day And tell you there's a better way But take to long to contemplate By then it might be too late At first They divide you And do what They decide to No we can't let them win No time to decide We've got to begin

Pick Me Up 03:00
Hey girl I've been patient waiting for you to change But time is short And the world Keeps on turning while I'm pacing circles On this floor Yeah I know There's a lot I do that gets to you But you've been pushing me around You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer There's no reason for me to suffer You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer I got to much to offer Hey girl Did I stutter when I told you We were through Please don't Misunderstand That there is no more me and you Well I know you'll apologize til your lips are blue, then you'll kick me when I'm down You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer There's no reason for me to suffer You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer I got to much to offer hey girl you been pushing me, pushing me you been pushing me, pushing me you been pushing me, pushing me around You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer There's no reason for me to suffer You don't pick me up You just let me down Well I've got to much to offer I got to much to offer you don't pick me up you just let me down just let me down you just let me down
5.
Having a nervous breakdown I never thought that life could be So hard Everybody's telling me that Your young There's so much of your life to live But I don't want to live this way If you're gone Than what am I supposed to do with My time Cause I've been waiting 'round for you to Come home Well baby there's so much to say And I don't want to live this way Then she walked in that door What was your name again? I just couldn't say I forgot it the minute she looked my way She makes the sky look so blue She makes the earth underneath me move And I can't deny what I'm into If I can't convince her, well I'll just have to... It's like a shake down I kind of thought that she would be Alone All her friends keep telling me that She found Someone, and I should let her be But I can't let her get away Then she walked in that door and I can't recall what I as thinking about A minute before She's got that something that I Can't ignore What was your name again? I just couldn't say I forgot it the minute she looked my way She makes the sky look so blue She makes the earth underneath me move And I can't deny what I'm into If I can't convince her well I'll just have to... I drove my car out to a spot where no ones going to Look very hard And he deserved just what he got cause he'd been trying to Keep us apart And when he's gone it breaks her heart but someone's got to Console her when he doesn't call That's when I make my move She makes the sky look so blue She makes the earth underneath me move And I can't deny what I'm into Now that I'm with her All I want is something new
6.
Just when you thought you'd never smile again You're so tired from fighting but you can't give in You let it take the best of you But will it break the rest of you Tonight... will you be all right No you can't quit living or you're damned Even when things don't turn out like you planned So you keep on giving what you can Cause sometimes, life comes through Sometimes, it all comes back to you Just when you thought the sun would never shine again So many days without light it starts sinking It’s not the pain that’s testing you It’s the shame of a rescue Tonight... will you be all right No you can't quit living or you're damned Even when things don't turn out like you planned So you keep on giving what you can Cause sometimes, life comes through Sometimes... Maybe that’s the point of it The lesson only time can teach It’s not about getting what you want, not at all No, it’s finding what you need... what you need No you can't quit living or you're damned Even when things don't turn out like you planned So you keep on going, when it’s all that you can do Cause sometimes, life comes through Sometimes... Sometimes, life comes through Sometimes, it all comes back to you

No Guarantee 03:20
Race headlong into the future You live through your computer It's got you on a short leash No you can't run, but at least You got your heatlh And you can keep on working til your back is sore Got nothing else But all they want is more... more... more They can take your car And take your home Take away everything you thought you ever owned Guess that's the price of being free That we get no guarantee Give a little bit of money for the teachers Now 10 percent for the preacher Can I get a little more for the police You think you're broke, but at least You got your heatlh And you can keep on working til your back is sore Got nothing else And all they want is more... more... more They can take your car And take your home Take away everything you thought you ever owned Guess that's the price of being free That we get no guarantee I've been working all my life and I got nothing to show for it My sweat and my blood, and did what I should There's no end in sight I owe so much that I can't quit til... I'm in a grave, til then Im a slave I know this can't be right, when they put you out on the streets They say your lucky and... at least you got your health They call you middle class but you know you're poor If nothing else at least you know who you are working for They can take your car And take your home Take away everything you thought you ever owned Guess that's the price of being free That we get no guarantee
8.
You ever get the feeling Like no matter what we do The worst is coming true But staring at the ceiling Don't change your point of view Guess there's nothing you can do So you keep... Thinking about it every night But worrying won't make it right Closing your eyes won't make it go away There's something you can do It's a part you've got to play You've got to Think of what you teach your children When you turn and look the other way Cause they learn from what you do and they forget the things you say You've got to get your act together now Before it's too late Cause when they're grown and on their own Will your words mean anything I can't make this any clearer What do you want to be Part of the cure or the disease When you look yourself in the mirror Is it what you want to see Does it put your mind a ease No you keep... Thinking about it every night But worrying won't make it right Closing your eyes won't make it go away There's something you can do It's a part you've got to play You've got to Think of what you teach your children When you turn and look the other way Cause they learn from what you do and they forget the things you say You've got to get your act together now Before it's too late Cause when they're grown and on their own Will your words mean anything anything at all Think about it....
9.
I know no one will ever take the place And since you left there’s been an empty space It’s no mistake that You lost your way You’re caught up in it The web you made You’re caught up in it, now Caught up in it When you’re caught up in the... Lies you said to me Now that everything you had is gone You come to me Just go back This ain’t where you belong, no I did my part and put flowers on your grave And I prayed for your lost soul and i forgave Well you had your wake and Accept your fate You’re caught up in it The web you made You’re caught up in it, now Caught up in it When you’re caught up in the... Lies you said to me Now that everything you had is gone You come to me Just go back This ain’t where you belong Hands on top Of that future You almost your hands on top (you almost had it) Of it didn’t you (you almost had it) Hands on top Of that future You almost your hands on top Of it didn’t you Your hands on top Hands on top

I thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone I just thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone Think I said everything that I can say No reason convincing you tat you should stay Except, we've together for so long Can't see why you're leaving When I've done nothing wrong No I, won't stop thinking about you Always on my mind You hit stop on us But I'm gonna hit rewind What we had might not mean much to you But you saved my life I thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone I just thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone Waking up gets harder everyday Can't find the strength to get up anyway Now that I'm picking up the pieces of my life Not sure if something went wrong But I know nothing went right I can't stop thinking about you Always on my mind You hit stop on us But I'm gonna hit rewind What we had might not mean much to you But you are my life I thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone I just thought I'd never find Anyone and now your gone What can I do to make this right? You've been telling me I'll be okay Somehow without you I'll find my way I don't know what you're going through Just believe in me like I believe in you You've been telling me I'll be okay Somehow without you I'll find my way But I won't leave what we had behind When I know I can change your mind Just let me change your mind We can leave this all behind Just let me change your mind I've done nothing wrong I’ve done nothing wrong No, I’ve done nothing wrong
11.
Fool Of Me 02:50
I feel no pain I shed no tears Seems we’ve been fighting For a million years There’s no love behind these walls And there’s no hope for me because You’ve taken everything that makes me a man and babe, You’re making a fool of me I feel no pain I’ll show no fears Seems I’ve frightened For a million years There’s no love behind these walls And there’s no hope for me because You’ve taken everything except for my name and babe, You’re making a fool of me Some day you’re gonna need the man I was, but he’ll be gone You tell me I’m the king of the castle but I’m feeling like your pawn I’m just trying to keep you happy but you treat me like a dog You’re making me to sit when you know I should stand You’ve taken everything that makes me a man and babe, You’re making a fool of me You’re making a fool
12.
I know I'm not lost Cause I'm still on that path Been looking at the compass And I've checked my map I figured it in But I can't figure it out Why do I feel empty When I'm filled with doubt.... I can't figure it out It might be joy That comes in time It may be something we can't find It might be yours Maybe everybody feels this way Yeah I'm feeling tired But I got no time to sleep My faith has made promises That it can't keep I’m stumbling hard but Somehow I’m on my feet Not sure where I'm going But I can feel the heat It might be joy That comes in time It may be something we can't find It might be yours Maybe everybody feels this way It might be joy That comes in time It may be something we can't find It might be yours Maybe everybody feels this.... Sometimes.... you'll be betrayed When your friends... are too afraid to move on Sometimes....you'll fall from grace And come down.... a better place where you belong Sometimes.... Sometimes.... You count the days, you tried Think you waited too long Sometimes.... Sometimes.... You're wrong It might be joy That comes in time It may be something we can't find It might be yours Maybe everybody feels this way
13.
I think we've been here before But we ain't stopping Til we find the place That we've been looking for No, we can't slow down Or we'll lose the race But you can never be sure The problem's that we opened the door And now we can't turn away When you're living in the finest place And you put on the kindest face Cause you want to define your place In the human race.... but We got truth but no one wants to believe it We got proof but no one wants to see it We go choice but no one wants to choice it But you lose it if you're to afraid to use it Every time we close the door I think we lose a little more I think we've been here before But we ain't stopping Til we find the place That we've been looking for No, we can't slow down Or we'll lose the race But you can never be sure The problem's that we opened the door And now we can't turn away When you're living in the finest place And you put on the kindest face Cause you want to define your place In the human race.... but Haven't we seen this Haven't we done this The truth having been told Haven't we run with this Cause We've been through this Time to be honest The truth having been told We broke our promise But we don't owe them... Stop. Where do you get off Well the list of things you've done Don't mean nothing at all When you're living in the finest place And you put on the kindest face Cause you want to define your place In the human race.... but I think we've been here before But we ain't stopping Til we find the place That we've been looking for No, we can't slow down Or we'll lose the race But you can never be sure The problem's that we opened the door And now we can't turn away When you're living in the finest place And you put on the kindest face Cause you want to define your place In the human race.... but

Bigger Fish 04:24
don’t let that be the last thing that you say to me tonight cause i don’t want to remember you this way, and i’m tired of fighting cause heavier things have fallen before i know it, i’ve seen it and castles crumbled to the shore i know it, i’ve seen it go on and on bigger fish have dreamed this dream and never made it up stream i’m not as small as i seem i’m dreaming bigger fish dreams i don’t recognize a single star i see here tonight my path doesn’t seem as safe when it’s cast in this light where’s my castle by the shore i know it, i need it when you’re without you want it more i know it, i’ve seen it go on and on bigger fish have dreamed this dream and never made it up stream i’m not as small as i seem i’m dreaming bigger fish dreams it’s been so long what did i do wrong it’s been so long yes i know i can get there what if i don’t ever get there if i’m alone when i get there is it worth what i gave for it i’ll close my eyes but i won’t be sleeping tonight there’s no time for me to rest, i’m obsessed, sleepwalking through my life not every sickness has a cure i know it, i’ve seen it and all the symptoms i ignored i know it, i’ve seen it go on and on bigger fish have dreamed this dream and never made it up stream i’m not as small as i seem ha, ha, ha everybody feels this way sometimes

about

Bosco and Peck’s third album “Just When You Thought You’d Never Smile Again” is the product of the last 5 years of steady work. Well maybe not steady work. We did take a couple breaks. Well maybe more than a couple breaks, let’s try this again.

After the release of our last album "The Burden of a Healthy Mind", the one complaint we heard over and over was that the album wasn't happy enough. So, we decided to overcompensate with this album. We soon realized that it is really hard for us to write positive lyrics, it must be a New Jersey thing. Instead we opted for an album full of “happy” sounding songs with cynical lyrics, sad songs about heartbreak, failure, and happiness that is just out of reach, and of course the occasional politically motivated song. That may have been a run-on sentence. Speaking of politically motivated songs... Our song “No Guarantee” won an award before the album was released. We won song of the month of August 2012 in the MSI:Hitlist song contest.

Not only did we try something new with the feel and words on this album, we also tried a couple different styles of soul music. Tracks like “Let Me Go” and “Think About It” have an organic 60’s/70’s feel with era specific instrumentation. While tracks like “Divide You”, “Where You Belong”, and “Thought I’d Never Find” use samples, autotune, and synths. You might even recognize one of the songs on the album already. It’s a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman”... Sorry to drop names, but I had to say something about it.

Do you still want to know more? Okay, here’s some more...

The album art was handmade by Suzanne Peck (J Peck’s wife) with a little help from J Peck, Paul Bosco and Amber Corson. We decided to make the art by hand, because no one does that anymore. Yeah we could have used Photoshop, but what fun is that. It’s much more fun to cut felt and construction paper, sew and glue it together, and make something you can hold in your hands. That being said, we’ll probably use Photoshop for the next album... it’s too hard to handmake album art.

That’s It! I can’t think of anything else. If you want to know more about the album the only thing to do is listen to it and let the music speak for itself.

Supermarket Sensation

Have you ever wondered who that band is playing in the background at the supermarket while you shop for melons. Chances are, at some point, it was us! Well, at least if you are in a European supermarket. Our songs have been played millions of times in stores throughout the world, but sadly we haven’t had any luck breaking into the cut throat supermarket game in the US. ... more
