To submit a design, email me a 1000x1000 jpg of your artwork!

JackConteAlbumArt@gmail.com

Any design/image/artwork is fine, there are no guidlines. A photo that you took and like would be great! A painting you made in high school, a faded polaroid from the 80s, anything! I can't use all the submissions (depending on how many there are), but i'll do my best!

"Impression," by Jack Conte

Lyrics:
You got a lot of plans, it doesn't make you gold. You got a lot of breath, it doesn't give you a soul. Cuz maybe I'm awake, maybe I'm asleep. You got a second half, it doesn't make you whole. You got a lot of thoughts, well you got nothing at all. Cuz maybe I'm a mind, or maybe I'm a brain. You got a humble heart, it doesn't mean you kneel. Continuous from the start, it doesn't make it real. Cuz maybe I'm alive, or maybe it's an impression.

Lyrics:
Born of the sun, still cold. Born of the race, still slow. I can't complain, I'm alright. I'll take the blame, it's alright. Born of the clouds, still down. Born of the lost dogs, still found. I had enough. I'm all done, but here it comes again. It's all done. We'll wail it out, we'll wait it out. There's still time. We're fine for now. We're fine for now. Then, out of nowhere:

Bloody Nose, by Jack Conte

Lyrics:
Count your bones one by one. Lie awake at night. Underground, boxed and glum, left you there for rot. All my fears are overgrown, will someone burn this grove? Those August nights.... They burn hot as hell, and you wake up sweating dreams. It casts a spell. Welcome home! It's been a while. Do you miss your head, with your tattered clothes and your bloody nose? Aren't you glad to be rid of the smell? Not at all? Not at all! I'll miss the fog through headlight wash and bed and breath and touch, but I'll brave it out! Yeah, I'll brave it out! There's no use getting down.

All this guessing! It's backwards. Science moves us forwards, but we forget ourselves. I forget myself. Call the maker. Save us! Save us from this disaster: nothing. No space. No light. No love. No time.

Kitchen Fork, by Jack Conte

Lyrics:
Wake from a dream where I was stuck losing my teeth. Lucky for me it was all fake or not what it seemed. Where, oh where will we go next, haunted pillow beneath my head? Where does it go? Pick out her heart with a kitchen fork, pin down her arms. Wake from the scar still feeling sick. Where did it get started? Where, oh where did this come from? Oh my God, my head's a gun. I let myself go. Once I flew above the cars, and the wind blew gratitude through my heart. I let it all go. Save us from our own two heads. Can I keep just one and ditch the rest?

We Grew Up So Well, by Jack Conte

Lyrics:
Staring at a trash can, thinking about the things you've thrown away. You love our pretty planet, yeah, but not enough to stay. No, please don't go! You always took care of your hands. How could you break them like you did? Like a bug on a window. Is that what you wanted to be? A moment's pause? All you see is madness. Nobody can show you the method. No please, wait, no! So I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen. Is that what you wanted to be? Just a topic of mine? Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well. Oh, you didn't know. You didn't know that soon you'd be okay. Echoing bellows, so slow like gallows. Is that what you wanted to be? A still life's pose? A photograph? A story told? A friend I had?

I missed your tour! Crap!

I think it's his pure talent that he is showcasing, the ability to create all parts of the song is a blessed talent. My only question, how are you going to tour!? =)

Disclaimer as always.--> ***Please don't take this the wrong way*** Your musical style is an interesting blend. Probably not groundbreaking, but very well performed and produced. Don't think the video format is really that original. But I know everyone needs a gimmick to get noticed these days. I think. I dunno. I'm outta touch. I can still appreciate stuff I like. I like your music. Take care :)
