It has my songs about love, from all the years.
Love in all its guises – elated beginnings, unexpected betrayals, messy endings, the long road of a real relationship, the knife-edge of loss when a loved one is out of reach. And even a doomed wedding...
The songs were written as long ago as 1974, but were mostly born in the 1990s in L.A. and Nashville.

A look at J.M. Kearns’ first two solo albums:
Released Nov. 15th, 2024:
Songs of Surviving in the City, Vol. 1
Over the years, J.M. Kearns has written many songs that are not love songs, and this album has 11 of them.
They are about day jobs and unemployment and art and money and envy and yearning and depression and family and old age and loss — and sex. All the nasty, cruel, lovely things.
The album is on Bandcamp.
Below are embeds of two songs from the album, and a video.
