Jay-Jay Johanson was born Jäje Johansson on 11 October 1969 in Trollhättan, Västra Götaland. His debut album, Whiskey, was released in August 1996. Recorded at Break My Heart Studios in the Stockholm archipelago, the album was characterized by its jazzy vocals over trippy, film noir arrangements.
In 1998, Johanson released Tattoo, taking a step into a more richly textured, poetic ambience. Johansson's third album, Poison, was released in April 2000 and went straight into the French charts at number four. The album featured contributions from Cocteau Twins founder and guitarist Robin Guthrie. The same year Johanson also composed the soundtrack to French director Ilan Duran Cohen's film La Confusion des Genres, and in 2001, Johanson emerged with "Cosmodrome", a sound-and-image installation first exhibited in the French city of Dijon. This art-piece has travelled around the world and was last shown at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
Antenna was released in 2002, recorded with assistance from German experimental electronic group Funkstörung. 2004 marked the release of the compilation Prologue, meant for the American market. It was followed by Rush in 2005, an album partly produced by French producer Jean-Pierre Ensuque.
Johanson co-wrote and contributed vocals to The Knife's 2006 song "Marble House".[1] In the spring of 2006, he called together the musicians he had worked with on the three first albums, and January 2007 saw the release of their collaborative effort The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known. A tour in promotion of the album kicked off in China and continued to more than thirty cities around the world.
Johanson's eighth studio album Spellbound was released on 2 May 2011.[2] "Dilemma" was released as the album's lead single on 11 March 2011.[3]
On 3 March 2017, "You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone" was released via iTunes as the first single from Johanson's upcoming album Bury The Hatchet, due 15 September 2017 on 29 Music. [4]
Time Will Show Me
Jay-Jay Johanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to tell you about a dream I had
Long before
I ever had the chance to meet you, girl
Corridores
I never walked along that leads nowhere
After all
It's all about the art of memory
Time's gonna show me
What you're hiding for me
Songs for no bitter regrets
Dialogues
I never understood your strategy
Horoscopes
I know you're gonna keep it for yourself
The end of us
There's so much depending of the danger, no
Turns to dust
Won't make it easy on you anymore
Time's gonna show me
What you're hiding for me
Songs for no bitter regrets
Time's gonna show me
What you're hiding for me
Songs for no bitter regrets...
The opening lines of "Time Will Show Me" by Jay-Jay Johanson describe a dream that the singer had before he met the person he is addressing in the song. It is unclear whether this dream is meant to be taken literally or figuratively, but it seems to suggest that the singer had a premonition or intuition about this person long before they actually met. The dream may also represent a longing or desire for something that he has yet to find.
The lyrics then shift to a discussion of the singer's relationship with this person. He admits that he never understood their strategy or motives, and he suggests that they are keeping something hidden from him. The line "I know you're gonna keep it for yourself" implies a lack of trust or communication between the two parties. The end of the relationship is also hinted at, with the line "there's so much depending of the danger, no." This could refer to the risks involved in maintaining a relationship, or perhaps to the potential for emotional pain and heartbreak.
Despite these negative aspects of the relationship, the singer seems to find some solace in the passage of time. He believes that time will reveal the truth about this person and their relationship, and he sings of "songs for no bitter regrets." This suggests that he is trying to let go of any negative emotions associated with the relationship and move on in a positive way.

her seyden önce,sana gördügüm bir rüyadan bahsetmek isterim
bundan cok önce,seninle tanısma sansına sahip oldum,kızım
koridorlar,hicbir zaman hicbir yere giden bu yollar boyunca yürümemistim
hepsinden sonra,bunların hepsi hafızanın sanatıyla ilgili
zaman bana gösterek
benden ne sakladıgını
sarkılar acı inkarlar icin degil
diyalogların,hicbir zaman senin stratejini anlamadım
horoskoplar (haritaların),bunları kendine saklayacagını biliyorum
bizim sonumuz,hepsi tehlikeyle o kadar baglı ki,olamaz
toza dönüsüyor,bu artık senin icin kolay olmayacak
zaman bana gösterecek
benden ne sakladıgını
sarkılar acı inkarlar icin degil
