Rainbow Roses
Music & Lyrics by Jay Della Valle
Rainbow Roses
I’ll pass on red and white
I want roses
That represent the colors in my life
Call me a dreamer
But I know
I’m not the only one
If I could have it my way
Rainbow Roses everyone
There’s a light on you turned on
When you first opened up your eyes
I’ll tell it to you cuz it’s true you know
It’s not my style to lie
The fact is that I changed
When you first came into my life
You’re the rock that I can lean on
Proof that I did something right, yea
I am captivated
By all these colors
Rainbow Roses
I’ll pass on red and white
I want roses
That represent the colors in my life
Call me a dreamer
But I know
I’m not the only one
If I could have it my way
Rainbow Roses everyone
On the day I met my daughter I became a different guy
Went from knowing what I wanted
To knowing why
when my son was born I cried
and as a tear fled from my eye
You can see a father’s glory
sense a mothers pride
I am captivated
By all these colors
Rainbow Roses
I’ll pass on red and white
I want roses
That represent the colors in my life
Call me a dreamer
But I know
I’m not the only one
If I could have it my way
Rainbow Roses everyone!
Here we are six years later
And I’ve never been so high
I’ll never let this raging fire die
Thanks to all the Rainbow Roses in my life
God Bless You & Protect You
Music & Lyrics by Jay & Jolie Della Valle
Days go by
Morning turns to night
Took so long
to make all my wrongs right
Where you go
is never far from where you've been
You got your mistakes
couple regrets
You get a brand new day to begin again
You know you're wiser now
eyes are brighter than before
what's it like
to know that you’re adored
in your bed
while daddy sings to you
words that stay
and never go away
holding on to his songs as your life moves along
Singing..
Don't forget, no matter where you go
You got a pocket of dreams
a mountain of love
you got the moon above you & two eyes that shine
you got my hand to hold
so much time
don't forget no matter where you go
that I'm singing you songs
I want you to know
God Bless you and Protect you
my love..
All dressed up
always handsome as can be
You'll sing songs
but they can't all be for me
Come home late
I'll be fast asleep
But you open the door for the one you adore
Whisper soft in the air for her heart to always hear
Don't forget no matter where you go
You got a pocket of dreams
a mountain of love
you got the moon above you & two eyes that shine
you got my hand to hold
so much time
don't forget no matter where you go
that I'm singing you songs
I want you to know
God Bless you and Protect you
my love..
Time Slows Down
Days Turn into night
We'll be alright
We'll all be, we'll all be, we'll all be alright
Everything's Alright
Don't forget no matter where you go
You got a pocket of dreams
a mountain of love
you got the moon above you & two eyes that shine
you got my hand to hold
so much time
don't forget no matter where you go
that I'm singing you songs
I want you to know
God Bless you and Protect you
my love
Irish Goodbyes
Ok fine I said hi
But I did not say goodbye
What do you want?
That’s my style
Don’t be sad
I’ll be mad
I get drunk so quick it’s bad
I’m flattered you missed me
But thanks for the whisky
They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head for the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want?
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while?
There’s nothing so sexy
As a man who disappears
After eating his fill
And drinking lots of beer
He shows up like the wind
In the middle of the night
Everyone’s happy
When he does not start a fight
They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head for the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want?
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while?
What goes through your mind
When you leave with no goodbye
So many random people
That I don’t even like
There’s Tommy
There’s Taryn
I’ll wink and I’ll give a nudge
They’re dear friends of mine since youth
They will not hold a grudge
They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head for the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want?
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while?
Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while?
They call them Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while?
They call them Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while?
They call them Irish Goodbyes
Love & Energy
Music & Lyrics by Jay Della Valle
Give you all
my loving energy
everything inside
that makes me me
Didn’t know
that I was capable
of love like this
Give you all
my loving energy
the peace of mind
of mine
that sets me free
I share it all with you
in hopes that
things will get easier
In the past
I’ve said some things
I’m not proud of
Babe, I take them back
I only wanna be the one
Who makes you feel alive and flourish
Give you all
my love and energy
everything inside
that makes me me
Didn’t know
that I was capable
of love like this
Give you all
my love and energy
the peace of mind
of mine
that sets me free
I share it all with you
In hopes that
things will get easier
In this crazy mixed up world
where everyone’s so distracted
can’t get back to their heart
it’s sad
I don’t want to be that no more
Darling just remember
It’s all about the little things
they’re everything
you’re everything
I’m overjoyed
we get on famously
I always knew you were the one for me
Until the end of time
I’ll give you
All my Love & Energy
Take The High Road
Music & Lyrics by Jay Della Valle
I hear you
I’m listening
I’m trying to get back to giving
You all my
Attention
I can’t
I’m stuck in the tension
It’s time we make a decision
Who’s right
Who’s gonna give in
I’m innocent
Singing my Songs
You’re a victim
You never do wrong
Don’t take the bait
Baby, take the high road
Cause you know the low road
Won’t get you where you want to go
Sometimes it takes
Just a little patience
That’s better than frustration
How’s that for free education?
It’s clear that you want to lip it
I think that I should just zip it
Let you get tired and expire
While I pour some ice on the fire
Don’t take the bait
Baby, take the high road
Cause you know the low road
Won’t get you where you want to go
Sometimes it takes
Just a little patience
That’s better than frustration
How’s that for free education?
Take the High Road
Take the High Road
Take the High Road
Take it where you want to go
Take the High Road
Take the High Road
Take it where you want to go
Take the High Road
It seems like you are afflicted
Flat out hard-core addicted
To thinking you got no issues
I guess I lucked out I found you
More Info
Owls & Lions is my Indie Folk band I’ve been playing with for 8 years. With my good friends Nicole DeLoi on violin and Kevin Walters on drums, we have a really special synergy that scores us a lot of great opportunities to perform all over. We’re really lucky to have gotten the opportunity to hone our chops in the NJ/NY events industry, performing on an average of 75 events/year and managing to cultivate a really unique niche in the “rustic/barn/tent styled” wedding market. After years of writing original music and performing hundreds of events (shows, weddings, festivals), we finally managed to find a great producer and release our first EP, “There’s A Light,” consisting of 6 songs that had been marinating in the savory juices of our life experiences for years.
We released our EP on the coattails of a successful Kickstarter campaign which allowed us to raise $10K thanks to our supporters. Since we released the EP in May 2019, we’ve been we’ve been using that money to strategically create, release and celebrate each song with it’s own video and additional supportive content. It’s been a lot of fun getting to put this music out, satiating our current fans and monitoring how it manages to find it’s way to the ears of new listeners. We were about to start recording some more songs and some of our acoustic cover interpretations before Covid. This endeavor got pushed back, but we’re aiming to release more music at some point in 2021.
For now, we have 8 songs total for curious listeners to enjoy and get hooked by. You can connect with them and the videos through the links above. We appreciate any follows on social media or comments you leave for us on You Tube.
We’re also still available and will travel for any events, weddings, festivals, & intimate house concerts. Email us for availability & rates
