Lyrics

Once upon a time
a stork swooped down from the sky
revealed when he brought Jude
secrets that I never knew
I smiled, a blessing in my life
I cried tears of joy
for Jude & I

The math is quite confused
a parent's love divides by two
yields greater than the half
can a baby boy who loves to laugh
retain the words a father says?
should I just wrap him my arms instead?

Jude, know that I believe in you
and Jude, when you're not sure what to do
hang on
the plane is coming soon
to bring me back to you
and I will carry you, my son

As months turn into years
don't discount your mother's fears
a love she can't contain
embrace her and appreciate it
while I will teach you all I can
think me a hero, but I'm just a man

When life puts up a fight
stand tall and you'll prevail
despite the strength that you may lack
if your brother has your back
as one, to face a burning flame
be brave
be always loyal to your name

Jude, know that I believe in you
and Jude, when you're not sure what to do
hang on
the plane is coming soon
to bring me back to you
and I will carry you, my son

tears of joy
for Jude & I

What the critics are saying

“Metallica paired with the Moody Blues on 'Nothing Else In White Satin' is a stroke of genius.”

— Daily Vault

“The most bonkers track is 'Frame by Style,' inexplicably but ingeniously pairing 'Frame by Frame' by King Crimson with 'Style' by Taylor Swift. You need to hear it to believe it!”

— Sea of Tranquility

“This isn’t just a tribute, it’s a deconstruction of the greatest pop and rock moments from the 1960s to the 90s and beyond, offering up a kaleidoscopic mashup of iconic sounds that defies expectations.”

— Progressive Rock Central

“Progressive rock fans with a good sense of humour should find songs such as 'Roundabout Thriller' and 'Frame by Style' being able to inspire a smile and a chuckle too.”

— Progressor

“Brilliant and flawed, this album simply keeps on exuding fun, spin after spin.”

— DMME - Let It Rock

“A sonic collage of old and new, with tracks that span the breadth of decades while adding an entirely new narrative.”

— We Write About Music

“Skillfully and brilliantly done. Often astonishing fusions of tracks and artists, which you probably would never have imagined together, repeatedly bring a surprised smile to your face.”

— Rock Times

“The musicianship is prog, the style is pop, and the vocals are sweet.”

— Musoscribe

“Everyone needs a smile now and then, and music created with a sly wink is a welcome diversion from the outside world.”

— Exposé

Bio

the ajjancy, moniker of NJ-native singer/songwriter George Ajjan, tackles recurring Gen-X & millennial themes of parenthood, coping with love & loss, and seeking hope in an increasingly desperate political climate. His non-musical alter-ego jets around the globe navigating the corridors of power, for which the ajjancy aspires to atone through meticulous song-craft, tempering the melancholic with a indefatigable glimmer of optimism.

If he “has agency” to make the listener think and feel, it’s thanks to a wide range of pop, rock, and classical idioms. Thus, the ajjancy’s originals, featuring session pros Fernando Perdomo on guitar, Dan Feiszli on bass, Matt Lebofsky on keyboards, and Terry Branam on drums, could be called chamber-rock: unexpected chord changes, the occasional odd meter, layers of instrumental parts and vocal harmonies: always melodic, sometimes sacrilegious - the gods of form be damned. Result: a pop-oriented distillate of progressive rock’s best elements without the derivative tropes and dated clichés.
