    Jonny Craig “Blue Print For Going In Circles” First Listen

    Who: Jonny Craig

    Song: Untitled (Possible Title: I’m Still Here)

    Written By - Randall 

    Why You’ll Love This: Well it’s here, the first listen of the upcoming album from the one and only Johnathan Monroe Craig.  While this is still an untitled demo it gives an insight to the tone and sound of what may be headed our way from Jonny’s forthcoming, “Blue Print For Going In Circles” that is scheduled to drop early this year.  

    It’s no secret that there are few figures in modern music as polarizing as Jonny.  From his infamous Macbook incident to his multiple stints in rehab, this is a man who many people have written off, even begun to hate. Still, love him or loathe him, there are few singers on the planet with a voice that captures the soul of pure imagination like him.  Sounding more introspective than ever here, this song seems to capture the sense that Jonny has finally realized that he’s quickly running out of chances.  

    Sure cutting corners and placing blame will give you the badass persona that he has, but this song seems to show a humbled, tired, dare I say it… matured Jonny Craig.  The stripped down vocals, the simple strum of the guitars, even his lyrics show a definite realization that he has got to get his act together or risk wasting his incomparable talent.

    In just this song, he takes on his familiar struggled with getting off of drugs: 

    It’s the things that make me old
    Still I’m still here
    It’s the things that make cold
    Yet, I’m still here

    …

    This bullshit isn’t worth my life
    This bullshit isn’t worth my life
    And I know, no matter what it says I’m home

    The pain of knowing that he still has such a long road ahead of him:

    I know I’m home, getting out of reach 
    Still I sob away to know I’m just okay.

    Even a feeling that he hasn’t lived up to his massive potential:

    I’ve reached out, made plans to put these words in motion
    But still I fall short

    Overall it feels like Jonny is trying to say that he still has the pain, he still has the agony in his ecstasy-riddled vocals, but he wants to be a better man.  I think this is Jonny’s way of saying sorry in his own Jonny Craig way. 

    What this 4 minute and 21 second demo shows is more profound than any follower of Jonny could believe, the man we all want to be acknowledged as the greatest singer on this planet finally seems to be coming around. Will he still be Jonny?  Of course, that part of him we love isn’t going anywhere. But maybe, just maybe we’ll see a stronger, a more resilient - maybe even a better version of the man whose voice we adore than we’ve ever seen before.
