“TIME” written and performed by Kamary Phillips

We’ve followed you for centuries

A million moments multiplied by infinity

Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time

We’ll change the world in time

Don’t forget the time, peace and tranquility

It lives and breathes in our humility

Don’t forget the sympathy that you lent to me

I’ll give it back in time

Everyone needs time

We’ll change the world in time

It all revolves around time

I remember the time when I was 15

I fell in love with a girl named Cindy

We played spin the bottle and she had to kiss me

That was my first time

Everyone needs time

We’ll change the world in time

You’ll get yours in time

We’ll find the cure in time

We’ll win the war in time

Once upon a time

Don’t waste your precious time

Until the end of time

We’ve followed you for centuries

A million moments multiplied by infinity

Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time

We’ll change the world in time

You’ll get yours in time

We’ll find the cure in time

Lets turn back the time

Once upon a time

All wounds are healed in time

Until the end of time

You know it’s time

Like it? Pass it around…

Kamary Phillips Band Is Born Again

After several years of virtual nothingness, Kamary Phillips returns with an all new line up for an old act, KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB, that's been around the block at least once over the last decade. Follow the development of this exciting, original project right here!



The official Bio looks like this;

KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB was formed by Kamary Phillips, an American and European singer songwriter.

Kamary, who fell to obscurity following a brutal major label merger, returns to the spotlight once again performing his brilliant, soulful original catalog as well as original interpretations of rock, pop and soul classics.

KPB keeps it simple with the amazing Will Lovell (Long Beach Orchestra) playing Upright Bass, the energetic fireball known as Mark "JR." MacDonald (Wesley Music Ensemble, Plutonic) playing Drums and Kamary Phillips (Aimee Mann, Joe Cocker, Xavier Naidoo) sings and plays a mean Acoustic Guitar.

Kamary Phillips Returns To Solo

It's been a few years folks and a few crappy record deals since I last called myself KAMARY PHILLIPS in front of an audience. Well, the deals are far behind me although some of the tragedy lingers on.

Recently, I met a fine, young gent by the name of Will Lovell and after he explained to me that he plays my beloved Contra-Bass (the giant bass Jazzers bang on) I was inspired to ask him for a little jam session. About 20 minutes later, literally, we were playing music together.

A week or so later, I figured it was time for our first public outing. You know, to test the waters. Here for your listening pleasure is that wonderful sonic experience, less one song (I forgot to press record) and rest assured, there will be more to come. I dare say, I'm returning to professional music and with a vengeance. My goal, to win a Grammy. Go on, laugh it up. I'm giving myself 3 years from today. Mark it on your calendars.


KAMARY PHILLIPS LIVE AT AMSTERDAM CAFE, MARCH 14 2011

NOHO New Years

We had a great, intimate New Years hang at the studio of the great Randy Emata. Since Randy moved into our neck of the woods, we've had a new and important center to our little community of "analog friends". I'm personally thankful for Randy's friendship and continuous generosity!

Here's a bit of jamming, which we actually don't do enough of when hanging at the studio. I had the honor of joining these A CLASS musicians while playing bass and singing on this "USE ME" interpretation.


“USE ME”


Here's a right cool jam. I really like the drummer on this one. I don't know his name however. Since I don't own drums nor have a place to play any, its the instrument I have the least practice on and which I enjoy playing the most. I try and play every chance I get at jams. This night, there were no bass players, so I got pulled into that corner almost all night. On this track, I show up around 5 minutes in, start playing bass around 7 minutes or so with Randy yelling chords at me. Rock and roll..."


This is a strange transition. I'm calling it FUNKY WHITE XMAS. First, I'm playing a funky-ass bass line (I still find cool as shit) that just doesn't catch on. It's like, no body's feeling it but me, no body really jumps on the jam. Then, Randy goes off on "Merry Christmas" or some shite, so I join him. I'm going back to that jam sometime.


PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC is the perfect name for this track. Sick drumming skills going on. It's an island-y thing I'm doing on bass until Randy comes in slingin' his Steinway muscle around, LOL! It comically peters-out in the end with some 'famous last words'.


Yeah, this kid can play...and he shall remain nameless.


Kamary Takes It WAY Back To 1922

Well, I couldn't resist grabbing this 1922 classic and making it my own. Public domain baby! A cell phone company was looking for some music and they wanted old school. I do mean old... They also wanted by 3pm and I got on it around noon. I budgeted about 30 minutes at the end for guitar parts. They were ringing in my ears so I already knew what I was going for.

When I plugged the cable in to play, I discovered it was a badly shorted cable and made nothing but noise. I repeatedly fiddled with it to no avail. All the other cables, were in my room mates car since our last gig the other night. No guitars kiddies. Maybe I'll be inspired by cellphones and finish this diddy up one day. Maybe not.

Some major artist will likely take it and make it happen big anyway, so just remember where you heard it first. :)

Christening

Had a brief fallout with Harley yesterday and today we made up. Ah… 🙂
Seriously though, we christened my new flat with this diddy we affectionately call “Christening”. I’m playing the Matchbox and the Whistle, while Harley plays Acoustic Guitar.
