‘FEAR’ is one of the first songs I wrote and recorded in 1979 when I formed MGJ’s SIGNAL! This is the third iteration of the band; Ray Mason - bass, Chet Pasek- drums and Barry Harwood - acoustic piano and keyboards. I recorded this shortly after my 1979 'Heart & Center' album on Arista Records when I decided I'd start a 'rock' band. I'm excited to say there's more music I will release from SIGNAL! - MGJ
fear, burning in my heart, fear, keeping us apart,
fear, everytime a love is near, (x2)
If I could only trust, secret shadow where I live,
what a world, what a world this could be,
if I could only show, sometimes I think we all know,
what a world, what a world this could be,
fear, burning in my heart, fear, keeping us apart,
fear, everytime a love is near,
sometimes it's all so hard to see yourself,
it's such a fashion to be someone else,
a secret shadow longing to be seen,
a glimpse of the untold to hide the,
fear, burning in my heart, fear, keeping us apart,
fear, everytime a love is near,
If I could only trust, secret shadow where I live,
what a world what a world this could be,
if I could only show, sometimes I think we all know,
what a world what a world this could be,
"MGJ first made waves…in New York's loft-jazz scene of the 1970s… alongside such major innovators as Oliver Lake, David
Murray, and Wadada Leo Smith, he quietly laid the groundwork for much of what we take for granted in the contemporary jazz-guitar vocabulary." National Sawdust NY
