about

An original tune that sounds like a jazz standard from the golden age, but with sly lyrics born of a 21st century mind. John Stein plays some whispery jazz guitar while the drums are brushed and horns blow cool. The vocals are whispery, too, with an invitation to “come play”.

lyrics

When I see your eyes
Smiling that way
I stop whatever I’m doing
And get ready to play

Check in with me early,
Or late, or in between
I’ll provide room service
If you know what I mean.

You can act nonchalant
And pretend you don’t care
But I know what you want
When you play with your hair.

Cancel my meetings
Turn off the phone
I am feeling well
I'm stayin' home.

That’s my sign
I don’t mind
I got the time

The sign on my door says, "Please Disturb"!

Let the paper stay there
Cuz I don't even care
What the headlines are

Let the coffee cool down
While we're foolin' around
We can go to Starbucks afterwards

Cancel my meetings
Turn off the phone
I am feeling well
I'm stayin' home.

That’s my sign
I don’t mind
I got the time

The sign on my door says, "Please Disturb"!

“At a time of great conflict in our country – when words often fail us – music has the power to bridge divides. With his latest album Thornewood, released earlier this month, David Thorne Scott explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty.” - Laurie Fanelli ... more
