Li'l Lies O' Jayne on Soundcloud
Li'l Lies O' Jayne on YouTube


A song that goes from li'l lies to lilies for a typical politician.

Style is _WESTGTR.STY (Spirited Country Strumming)

RealTracks in song: 4520:Banjo, Fingerpicking GentleSync16ths ev16 100
RealTracks in song: 1002:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm ClassicRockA-B Ev16 065

RealDrums in style:NashTrainEv16^1-a:Sticks Snare , b:Sticks Snare 16th
I added bass, guitar (solo only) & vocals, and our cool granddaughter Charley added some much needed truth from Jayne.

Lil Lies O' Jayne
It all began with the lil lies o' Jayne.
They shaped the course to the wretch she became.

Well, Jayne was falling in the polls until she mentioned her opponents kill.
That day she swore to tell no lies.
She said she had enough to prove his sorry [*****] should be removed.
And so began the plot for his demise.
Yeah it all began with the lil lies o' Jayne.
She changed the truth just to ruin his name.

Her campaign promise was to make it clear
she's gonna climb to the top this year,
and all opposed can watch her rise.
She knew that she was gonna win, and plastered on her toothy grin.
'Cause no one sees the truth behind her lies.
So she made the best of her lil lies o' Jayne
Her sinister soul hid behind her bright flame.

But soon she rattled the powers that be, and her defiance set her fate.
They needed to set her stubborn soul free and make her prename The Late.

Well, Jayne was crawing on the floor that night.
They warned her keep her mouth shut tight.
They said she had to spread their lies.
She promised she would not give in,
and snubbed her nose and raised her chin.
The bullet hit her right between the eyes.
But it's not the end of the lil lies o' Jayne
The truth may die but deciept stakes its claim.
She kept right on with those lil lies o' Jayne.
Her tombstone claimed that she wasn't to blame.

Marty...this is brilliant...conceptually one of your best...first off I love the style of this piece...it is indeed spirited country...but it's the hook and the lyric that are captivating...super play on words (which you are a master at for sure!)...cool story (very apropos in 2024 "the year of lies")...not a word out of place or insignificant in context...and man you nailed the vocals! this was so fun and funny...you excel at this stuff!

It's always a great start when the premise is based on a dad joke.
Cool arrangement, perfect grand daughter insertions and a bass that supports the song wonderfully.
Well done sir, no less was expected.

Your best so far? It's getting hard to tell, with so many brilliant songs of yours, one after the other. The granddaughter soli made me smile smile Your own voice is in top form, here ... and the song itself is superb, intelligent, and (as many good songs do) hint at meaning whilst letting us figure out the details. I don't know how much work went itnto this, but what I do know is that this kinda thing is never easy to nail, and man, have you nailed it and then some. Well done, Marty ... hats off, so impressed, once more.

I like the discrepancy between the upbeat music and the dark lyrics, it's a parody that goes deep when you think about it.
It's really, really cleverly written, Marty.

Can't say it better than already done on YT:
This one had me paying attention from the start. Great concept lyrically and the instrumentation and production is first class. It's great musical storytelling - excellent video too - and I also liked Charley's input! Brilliant, Marty.

I think I know who this is about but I have to admit that most of it goes over my head. I realise that is a clever spoof and a satirical send up of someone, but whom exactly I am unsure ??
The music is excellent and Marty you have one of the best story telling voices I've heard.

I love a good political protest song. Very well done. I usually just listen to the audio but I went straight to the video.... nicely done.

I've done a few.... if you are curious.... go to my website.... click MY Music and scroll down to #37 Hope & Change and then scroll down to #50 Leave this country alone. Unfortunately they didn't make a difference.

Great song. Brilliant insight.

Marty,

Nice. I like this genre and style you have with these clever titles of late (the play on words with people's names, I mean). It is kind of like an aptronym, I believe, or perhaps just a clever play on words. If anyone knows the exact name for this literary device, lay it on me. Anyway, it reminds me of a group from the sixties but I can't remember who.

The Beatles did this kind of thing too but it wasn't them. I am sure it will come to me as soon as I post.

Maybe it was Zappa.

Anyway, great job Mr. Kindheart, I mean, Mr. Wiseman, I mean Mr. Sillybrain, I mean Mr. Smartymarty!!!

HAHA. Man, sometimes my stupidity (sorry, lack of mental ability --nope, still not PC enough-- mentally challenged) ways make me waste so much time. When I read your message I went straight to Hope And Change, but I was looking for a video. Duh... Finally got to hear them both. Love 'em."Common sense is dying." Well, Tom Paine would say it's now dead and buried. and the grave was desecrated so often they moved it to an undisclosed location.

Thanks, David. I call it Lennonism, after John Lennon's books, but yes, Zappa is a good one. There was a time last century when Tony Levin and I exchanged wacky band names. https://www.basssick.com/banames.html Man, that's a lot of hats you're putting on me. Sillybrain it is then.

Sad and strange story dressed to a refreshing western mood. Enjoyed the catchy melody and how the vocals excel in performing it. Great arrangement, the banjo, the fiddle, the solo - all very effective. And clever video, the AI image generator's inability to create proper words fits the lie theme funnily smile

Sounds like you and Charley had fun making music together!

The banjo was a nice notion and an additional reminder of “Little Liza Jane.” smile
As always, the vocals (nice harmony intro) and bass are most excellent.
Nice tidy solo bit too! ... sits very well in.

The lyric is creative and witty indeed.

Love the depiction in video of the “powers that be.”

Nice mix with all those acoustics having their place.

Cool!

Sad, and maybe strangly common these days, but that just might be my cynicism showing. Yeah, if I was into getting subs and comments, I'd create contests with these, asking folks to find the AI's mistakes, which almost always shows up in the words and human appendages.

Very clever lyrics and, yes, lies by politicians (in your part of the world and mine) are a real problem.
Great vocals (lead AND harmonies), great band (good to hear some banjo) and top class production. Video was impressive too.

Hi Marty and Charley,

Why you made this song about that woman is still a mystery to me.
But Charley was very convincing in it.
Well... you too!
I gave my impression on YouTube, but with pleasure I do it here too.
Very nice song and lets be glad that woman vanished ;-)

Your music is always so clever and wellk done.

Your vocal is great, and Charley deserves a pat on the back for a great contribution.

Marty,

As always, your videos are very interesting.
It's a very pop song with a lot of country song elements.
I think you're a master of this kind of music.
There are a lot of interesting expressions in English, like "li'l lies to lilies," but with Google translations, most of them gets lost, and I feel so sorry that the original fun of your lyrics can't be fully appreciated.
But it can't be helped, as my English skills are not good enough.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Great vocals (lead AND harmonies), great band (good to hear some banjo) and top class production. Video was impressive too.
Cheers,
Mike
Thanks, Mike. I know next to nothing about politics, except that its rarely good for all but the politicians. Glad you liked my attempt at political humor.

Thanks, Peter. It saddens me that you didn't go all head-over-heels for my solo. HAHAHA.

Well... you too!
I gave my impression on YouTube, but with pleasure I do it here too.
Very nice song and lets be glad that woman vanished ;-)

Hi, Hans. Unfortuantely I have no idea what woman you're referring do, and I'm not being facecious. I have little to no knowledge of politicians, just a cynical understanding of the requirements. Charley makes everything better. Now, that is one gal I can talk about all day.

Your music is always so clever and wellk done.

Your vocal is great, and Charley deserves a pat on the back for a great contribution.

Best to you,

Alan
Thanks so much, Alan. Charley is thrilled at all of the comments about her.

I think you're a master of this kind of music.
There are a lot of interesting expressions in English, like "li'l lies to lilies," but with Google translations, most of them gets lost, and I feel so sorry that the original fun of your lyrics can't be fully appreciated.
But it can't be helped, as my English skills are not good enough.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks, Shigeki. I wish I was better at translating, but you speak the universal language of music better than most. Yeah, sometimes Google needs to translate feel instead of meaning.


Enjoy whatever happens!

"What? No!" Nice touch, Charley! I think Mike Nesmith was an underrated songwriter. This reminds me a lot of his work. Loved that banjo coming in; that was a moment.
