My Nature 04:26
Oh you squeaky clean metrosexual When you finally gonna let yourself just go Die and be reborn to your more primordial form Talkin bout my nature my wild and hairy nature Face to face with this creature deep living inside me Yeah me nature my wild and hairy nature Making peace with this dangerous beast living inside me

To Be Free 05:36
I gave the best part of my life to be free I laid my youth in sacrifice at the feet of liberty I refused to pay my dues because those rules didn't apply to me Whichever way the wind blew me was fine, cuz I was free, I was free I live my life that way, floating through the day, Unencumbered by obligation And now I'm asking myself why -- why this need to be free? Yeah I'm asking myself why -- what does it mean -- to be free? To be free

A Tear Drops 05:39
Love, the time we have is short Seems things have run their course The well has gotten dry And it's time to say goodbye In absentia you reigned The keeper of my flame And now that flame has died And so a tear drops From your eye From your eye From your eye Thought I'd never see you cry And now a tear drops from your I tried to bargain with the truth Have my cake and eat it too But indulgence comes with a price And I can't make that sacrifice But now our paths have crossed And the fire's turned to frost There's one last melting of the ice As a tear drops From your eye....

Underwater 05:23
I was young i was lost Floating free in the sea I was falling in love With all the colors and shadows in the reef Vivid blues and electric hues unlike anything I'd seen In a state of exalted elation Unafraid of the constant danger

Do I have to be so good? Do I have to be so nice? Do I have to be so happy Smiling all the time? Do I have to be so considerate? Do I have to watch my tongue? Do I have to walk on eggshells And please everyone?? So I'm dancing with myself I'm dancing with the One I'm dancing with the darkness And dancing with the sun Cuz I'm free to be myself Don't got to be nobody else

Om Shanti Om 07:42

Sad 04:12
Sad, sad, sad about our lives Sad about the world and all the suffering Ignorance and violence Sad about time Coldly moving on Cruel and indifferent Leaving you behind
9.
Wanna make you feel light And full of laughter Wanna make you feel safe even in the case of disaster Wanna cradle you Make you feel warm Wanna be your lighthouse Your savior in the storm Wanna make you feel good Make you feel good Wanna make you feel good Make you feel good Wanna make you feel nice Make it alright Wanna fill you up with my love Wanna fill you with light

about

My songs reflect the beauty and the struggle of being human – the challenge of trying to live authentically and connect meaningfully with others in a seemingly inauthentic, meaningless world; and the paradox of being on a spiritual path, striding towards the light yet embracing one’s own darkness and humanity. My music expresses a yearning for freedom, a connection with something larger than myself, and a desire to live in the truth. When pressed to self-define, I call my music “Heart Rock”.

about

jonathan green San Francisco, California

A Native New Yorker, I’ve taken the long route to making music, from film school to being a SAG actor and screenwriter. My first break was getting "Hundred Story Buildings", a 9/11 tribute song, played on the radio. In 2009 I recorded my first EP demo and in 2014 released my first full length CD “My Nature”, with great musicians and lots of love and hard work. Stay tuned for new work in 20-21. ... more
