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
Waves
JMSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's coming around again, round again, round again
You know I feel the pressure, yeah
Obsessin' and obsessin', there ain't no time for restin' baby
I think it's time for me to fess up, yeah
Everyday's is a different lesson, every lie makes a good confession baby
Lightning doesn't strike twice, but you know, baby
Life won't change tonight
But you never know
Anything is possible
I could run away, or I could stay
But it don't matter baby
Cause it comes in waves, it comes in waves
In waves, (matter baby) It's coming around again, it's coming around again, yeah yeah
It's coming around again, round again
I swear it is, round again
You decide what to believe
I swear to you, that nothing is impossible
I swear, anything is possible
All come round again
All come back round again
Nothing is impossible
Said, it all comes around again
Anything is possible
All comes round again
Nothing is impossible
The song "Waves" by JMSN talks about the inevitability of life's challenges and how they come in waves that we cannot control. The repetition of the phrase "it's coming around again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and how we must learn to deal with its ebbs and flows. The lyrics also suggest that the pressure of these waves can be overwhelming, but one must keep moving forward and face each challenge with honesty and courage.
In the chorus, JMSN acknowledges the unpredictability of life by saying that lightning doesn't strike twice, but anything is possible. He urges us to believe that life can change and that we should be open to the possibilities. The verses, on the other hand, take a more existential approach, reflecting on the way everyday struggles can shape us and how our choices determine our fate. JMSN seems to suggest that no matter what we do, life will always come in waves, and the only thing we can control is our response to them.
Overall, "Waves" is a song about resilience, hope, and the human struggle to find meaning in a world that can be both beautiful and cruel.
