 New Music Single OUT NOW on JJArtworks Music Group!
"Hold On While I'm Dreamin'" by JJ Long

STUDIO ANNOUNCEMENT!!! - March 21, 2022

Hi friends and family, today I have some big news to share! I'm happy to announce that my first music single called "Hold On While I'm Dreamin'" is officially live on music streaming platforms and this has been a dream of mine in the making for some time now. It's the first bit of music that I've recorded in over 11 years since the old metal days and this has been a hugely transformative experience for me. This is the first time in my music career where I've actually composed my own music as far as instrumentation goes, came up with my own arrangement, did the recording and tracking, did my own mixing, wrote my own lyrics, recorded my own vocals, and also released the music on our own label - JJArtworks Music Group. 🎹 💙 🎶 🎤 🤘

This is my first time writing music in the 80's synthwave genre, and this is a genre of music that really speaks to me, is upbeat and fun, and a place where I can really express myself creatively in a unique way. I also created an original acrylic painting for the album cover and did the graphic design work on my own as well. This was a super fulfilling project for me as an artist and I feel that my soul is fully nourished in a big way. For those that have known over the past couple of months that I've been tirelessly working on this song, thanks for your love and support on this journey. 🙏

I'd like to thank my friends over at WhisperRoom, Inc. (@whisperroom) for giving me an amazing at home studio space to rehearse, create, and record in, my friends over at DistroKid(@distrokid) for helping provide worldwide distribution to all of the major music streaming platforms, and my friends over at LANDR (@landrmusic) for the mastering help. To listen to the full single, click on the links below or listen to the Spotify player on this page: 🎶

The single is also available for sale on iTunes if you feel so inclined to support my music career in that way. It would be greatly appreciated more than you know! 🙏

Available on iTunes: https://apple.co/36DGrty

I have many more updates in the days ahead, and the song is still in the process of going live on Pandora, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, and a few other platforms, but I'll update you all as things unfold. Thanks as always for the love and support, and please feel free to share this post as well as the song with whoever you like, the more the merrier! I have so many other ideas for songs and I can't wait to get back to the studio and start recording more. Enjoy friends and let me know how you like it. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy out there and happy Spring! 😀 🎹 💙 🎶

Cheers,
-JJ Long

"Hold On While I'm Dreamin'"
Lyrics © JJ Long


​​Connected now, the music breathes, the energy of sound
Runs through my veins, a million dreams, I’m coming home today
And the fire wind, the calling rain, the falling walls of my
Last sacrifice, the fire breathes, the fire breathes in
 
As I wander to your eyes
I know I’m running low on time
Touching you
Is all I really want to do
 
I want to live my life
But feel I might just pass you by
Asking you
Hold on while I’m dreamin’
 
Forever now I dream of you and think of all our days
In the castle view, the sunset skies, the hidden gems of life
I’m running strong and working hard to build a vast empire
Wait for me there, the fire breathes, the fire breathes in
 
As I wander to your eyes
I know I’m running low on time
Touching you
Is all I really want to do
 
I want to live my life
But feel I might just pass you by
Asking you
Hold on while I’m dreamin’
 
I know you don’t know me yet
But everything I’m doing, I’m doing because of you
Thank you for giving me time to work on myself
To grow into the person I dream to be
I do this for you
 
As I wander to your eyes
I know I’m running low on time
Touching you
Is all I really want to do
 
I want to live my life
But feel I might just pass you by
Asking you
Hold on while I’m dreamin’
 
As I wander to your eyes
I know I’m running low on time
Touching you
Is all I really want to do
 
I want to live my life
But feel I might just pass you by
Asking you
Hold on while I’m dreamin’
