J.Smo Her music hits you right in the gut, her visuals fascinate the eyes and the depth of her lyricism provokes intelligent thought. This is not music for the weak and light-hearted. PLANET PARALLEL 5 is a serious voyage through pristine mixes, well crafted progressive songwriting, and the soulful, impacting vocals of the one and only Jacqui L. Favorite track: I'll Covet.

Happy Birthday Our yearly rendezvous is on us again What do I have to do to wish you away? You know I don’t like you and you don’t like me What do I have to do to wish you away? I’ve tried so very hard to make you vanish But with the persistence of sunset you come Just one less day in the calendar I wish Then finally from you I need no longer run

Frankenstein 04:25
Frankenstein Crunching over these eggshells I know I can’t let my guard down Each day I’m trying to learn how to disregard your frown Impossible to know the extent of your own ignorance I felt secure when the ground was crumbling underneath my feet Scared to put all my eggs in your basket again Shocked at how wrong I could be Your actions and your words they don’t correspond I never know if you’re Jekyll or Hyde Is it your lips or your body that has lied? And now you’re trying to un-write the rules that you have stated And now you’re trying to unmake the monster you created Crunching over these eggshells…

Rich Man 05:17
Rich Man Rich man, feel your shame for you Filthy rich man, all the good you do Rich man, if I prayed I’d pray for you Keep them sick, keep them stupid Inside your machine Do your business with the devil Fulfil every dream …of yours Rich man, Charlie smiles on you Filthy rich man, all the good you don’t do Rich man, if I prayed I’d pray for you You are more important than us Your lives are worth more than the rest of us

I'll Covet 05:44
I’ll Covet I wanna be a cowboy, I wanna be a princess I wanna be all dressed up, I wanna be naked I see I want I wanna be a hippie on a distant hill Or a penthouse with some servants might be nicer still I see I want I wanna be bohemian I wanna be filthy... Rich I wanna be androgynous I wanna be a Greek goddess I want it, I want it all Show me and I’ll covet I wanna be a rock star I wanna be a poet I’m desperately envious of you but I try not to show it I want her body and his body and that car Rest assured my motivation won’t take me very far I’m gonna replicate every page in that magazine I’m gonna dedicate my life, till you show me the next picture I’m gonna recreate every outfit that I’ve ever seen Till you show me the next picture

Cold 04:55
6.
Decaying Orbit You’re doing a fine job of making that bed of yours I can see you lying in… Really soon You’re doing an excellent job of digging that grave of yours I can see you falling in… Really soon Don’t you know that’s where you’re going? You’ve scribbled it all on the wall Make your choice If you care Must we all bare witness to your inevitable decaying orbit? I can see you falling in…
7.
Under the Noise Frozen in a doorway Can’t go forward - won’t turn back One life behind me The other just out of reach Slip into oblivion Disappear into the void Blink into oblivion Float under the noise Frozen in this vessel Hiding in the corners of my mind Impotent to the voices Hissing at me from behind And I will sleep forever Under the noise And I will dream of black Under the noise And I will live forever Under the noise Without this body pinning me down holding me back
8.
Could Be 04:28
Could Be Five minutes in time Twenty years in the making Seven years of warnings One long moment And you fell down You could be over You could be done More promises made Your hands are shaking You let it get this far Will anything change? You could be over You could be done
9.
Stroke It 04:23
Stroke it Paint my face Paint my hair Tell me how good I look today Paint my skin Paint my nails Tell me how good I look today I need to hear it Paint my words Paint my life Tell me how smart I am today I need to hear it Tell me Say it You don’t need to mean it Stroke it... Stroke my ego
10.
Distraction 05:06
Distraction Am I going backwards? The light at the end of the tunnel’s getting smaller How did this happen? Everyone around me’s growing up but I’m getting shorter Will it always be a struggle in the morning? Will it always be a struggle? Swimming against the tide My arms and my legs are moving but I’m getting nowhere Getting nowhere All the things I’ve tried… My life is a pot full of water and I sit and stare I sit and stare Will it always be a struggle in the morning? Will it always be a struggle? Awaiting the next fleeting distraction
