I'm a singer songwriter.
And when I write a song and I'm trying to figure out where I wanted to come from.
So, you know, I'm trying to maybe, 'cause I have little brothers, so I'm trying to always have them be able to listen to what I'm doing.
I'm not really paying attention to what anyone's gonna think about, you know, a relationship or anything like that really.
It's more or less kind of what they'll be thinking about if they hear it at some point.
So I try to put things in there that might help them grow.
And that's the most important thing about it.
So hopefully it can help anyone grow but it's kind of for them.

Me and the drummer at the time were just sitting there and we were kind of, you know, doodling around and it just popped out, just a song about life and you know expectations in life and kind of trying to find your place.
And hopefully everybody gets to get their piece of the pie.
That's what that song is.
There's the lyric, you know, "Machu Picchu, El Dorado one place I dream of the other I'll find."
So, you know, it's just about trying to get to the places in your life that you're looking to get to that you haven't been yet.
A lot of the times when you get a good song coming together they just roll off, you know, roll off your back roll off your tongue, come right out.

I'm from Narragansett, Rhode Island and I am a singer songwriter.
I didn't grow up with like any internet or TV or iPhone.
So music and nature was kind of like the only thing I had.
And so I started writing my own ballads maybe my freshman year of high school.
And then ever since then I just continued writing music.
When I have hardships and life is bad, it's easier for me to write.
And that's, you know, I just write what I'm feeling.
I will just pick up my guitar or play the piano and I'll just play what I'm feeling like, whatever feels good whatever I feel like would describe what I'm feeling.
And I just hum, I kind of just like hum a melody over what I'm playing.
See what I like, see what fits right.
And sometimes it just comes together.
I write the words last.
I don't really, I think the listening part that's some the sense of hearing, I think that's really important.

I think, but nothing hits more than having the melody or the instrumental match with what you're saying.
You know, it sounds like a cry for whatever you're trying to convey.
So "One Last Time" was the end of a really good relationship, but it was so bad.
It ended bad for me because the other person didn't really wasn't interested in me anymore.
So I kind of wrote this song to kind of explain how I want this one last night with you, you know?
And I don't know if I'm gonna see you again sort of feel so it's kind of, it also explains kind of going back to what you find familiar, even if it's not good for you, which was the case.
So I was writing the song, just feeling like I was in a place that brought me comfort but at the same time, wasn't good for me.
So I wrote a song about it.
(gentle music) ♪ Silly boy ♪ ♪ Look at what you've done to me ♪ ♪ So afraid ♪ ♪ Of my own reality ♪ ♪ Nothing scores ♪ ♪ Better than what you and me ♪ ♪ Can avoid ♪ ♪ Oh, oh ♪ ♪ Rain starts to fall ♪ ♪ Summer to give you more ♪ ♪ I'm the one that you'll be sure ♪ ♪ To keep you safe from your grave ♪ ♪ Cry with you through your days ♪ ♪ Baby, just don't look more ♪ ♪ It makes me sad ♪ ♪ That you're crying the name of another boy ♪ ♪ It makes me mad ♪ ♪ Get me madly in love for another boy ♪ ♪ And I promise myself that I'd never fall hard ♪ ♪ Keeping my heart off the ground ♪ ♪ It makes me sad ♪ ♪ Sad to cry in the name of another boy ♪ ♪ Boy ♪ ♪ Boy, no, no ♪ ♪ Boy ♪ ♪ Boy ♪ ♪ You'll come back ♪ ♪ Knowing me was in anything more ♪ ♪ You had asked ♪ ♪ 'Cause I'm right here, baby ♪ ♪ Thought we had something good ♪ ♪ You and him will never learn ♪ ♪ Half the things that we had good ♪ ♪ In the store, look at me ♪ ♪ You and I were meant to be ♪ ♪ Baby, just one look more ♪ ♪ It makes me sad ♪ ♪ That you're crying the name of another boy ♪ ♪ It makes me mad ♪ ♪ Gave you all my love and now for another boy ♪ ♪ And I promised myself that I'd never fall hard ♪ ♪ Keeping my heart on the ground ♪ ♪ It makes me sad ♪ ♪ Sad to cry in the name of another boy ♪ ♪ Boy ♪ ♪ Oh, boy ♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ Boy ♪ ♪ And I promised myself that I'd never fall hard ♪ ♪ Keeping my heart on the ground ♪ ♪ It makes me sad ♪ ♪ That you're crying the name of another boy ♪ ♪ Boy, boy, boy ♪ ♪ Boy, boy ♪ - My name's Josh Schurman.
I'm a singer songwriter.
I live in Kingston, Rhode Island in the mid sixties, picked up the guitar because everybody was playing guitar.
Most of my songs are about relationships, positive and negative.
I was a psychotherapist as a career.
So I kind of always been interested in how people feel and how they express the way they feel.
(gentle music) ♪ Well I got me a girl I truly love ♪ ♪ She's the only one I ever think of ♪ ♪ But she's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ ♪ Well she tough as a nails ♪ ♪ She sweet as a kitten ♪ ♪ Got that thing that keeping me spiting ♪ ♪ She's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ ♪ Woman of mine ♪ ♪ Say, woman of mine ♪ ♪ She's the yin and the yang ♪ ♪ The lemon and lime ♪ ♪ Well I love that girl ♪ ♪ Sweet talking woman of mine ♪ ♪ Hands on her hips ♪ ♪ Rolling pin in her hand ♪ ♪ Says she gonna leave me, find a much richer man ♪ ♪ She's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ ♪ Woman of mine ♪ ♪ Said, woman of mine ♪ ♪ She's the yin and the yang ♪ ♪ The lemon and lime ♪ ♪ Well I love that girl ♪ ♪ Sweet talking woman of mine ♪ ♪ Well woman of mine, she won't listen to reason ♪ ♪ Winter, spring, summer ♪ ♪ For whatever the season ♪ ♪ She's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ ♪ Whoa, yeah ♪ ♪ She's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ ♪ Whoa she's a big load of trouble ♪ ♪ That woman of mine ♪ The song is called "Woman of Mine."
And it's kind of about, you know, I've never been the most easy person to get along with.
So I kind of transferred that to difficulty in relationships and tried to add some sense of humor to it because there is as you know as well as a lot of joy and pain, sometimes.
