Producer/songwriter Christian Berishaj was born in the greater Detroit area and quickly developed a fascination with music and performance. He started recording his own music at age 12 and by the time he was 18 he'd gone through various different bands and projects, including recording an album as Love Arcade on which he wrote and performed every sound. Love Arcade was eventually signed to Atlantic records, with a self-titled album on which Berishaj was the sole performer coming out in 2006. A touring band was assembled around the project but none of the members ever played on any recordings and the group broke up after three years. Following Love Arcade, Berishaj relocated to Los Angeles and worked briefly under the moniker Christian TV, licensing songs in various films and television and signing a deal with Universal Motown Records. The label folded and Berishaj again reconfigured, taking on the name JMSN and producing more R&B inspired music, taking a decided step away from the pop leanings of previous projects. He self-released his debut Priscilla in early 2012, earning high praise from press and his artistic contemporaries as well. He followed with the next year with the Pllaje EP and a lengthy tour. JMSN spent much of 2014 prepping his next full-length, The Blue Album. The Blue Album's release date was delayed but eventually saw release in late 2014. ~ Fred Thomas
So Badly
JMSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
You know I just can't live this way
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
See the night is young and I'm overcome with these feelings
As I lay in the bed and watch you get dressed
With my hands behind my head I start to wonder
Do I really have what it takes to get you off?
'Cause you got some real sex appeal and I'm not a man of steel
And the way you put on that suede pussycat
Makes me think you know exactly how I feel
So what's the deal?
Am I not what you want?
Did my past take all the confidence I once had?
'Cause you keep saying it's you and you got a lot on your mind
But that don't help
I still blame myself
Now listen
Days, days they seem so long
Livin' without you
Everything's so blue
Without love
I'm just draggin' on, yeah
So tell me where I went wrong
'Cause I just can't go on
Oh, you know that I
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
You know I just can't live this way
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
I just can't wait another day
Waves, waves they come and go
Everybody knows
Where the river flows
(And when we die we all turn into stars)
And we'll glow just like the sun
We all come undone
And 2 becomes 1
'Cause our new lives have just begun
Oh, you know that I
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
You know I just can't live this way
You know I love you so madly, yeah
And I want it so badly everyday
You know I love you so madly
I just can't wait another day
