Justin James hails from … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists named Justin James:
Justin James hails from Windsor, Ontario, the same city as his label boss and techno icon Richie Hawtin. With Richie, Dubfire and many others as close, guiding influences, James has used this ammunition to fire his way to international recognition.
Being just across the river from the revered school of Detroit producers has not left James unmoved. The powerful emotions deep within the seminal tracks that emanate from across the border resound heavily in him. Being touched by this rich history has deeply influence James’ music production, sharing his own vision of techno with other like-minded souls. A slew of creativity is already available, through releases quickly signed to powerhouse international labels such as Richie Hawtin’s ‘Minus’ and Dubfire’s ‘Sci+Tec.’ James has not rested on his laurels, instead he has taken his vision to the next level by curating his own imprint “Refused,” a record label which will showcase forward thinking techno from himself, established artists and up-and-coming talent from around the globe.
Justin James is all about his deep love of the diverse elements of techno. His juxtaposition of raw techno with more organic elements, gives him boundless energy in the studio and behind the decks, which keeps the dance-floor militia on their toes. Cohesively developing a unique style that rolls all elements of techno into one highly kinetic experience, James has the ability to pool his influences, and endlessly move crowds to the far reaches of the genre.
Justin James is a classical and contemporary pianist with a deep affinity for the classical music of the 19th and 20th century period and the origins of jazz. Aged four, Justin began playing his first notes and has never lost touch with the instrument. Growing up in a musical household with heaps of classical and jazz influences didn't hurt either. A former student of Perth Modern School as part of the music scholarship program, he also trained in classical piano at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. (WAAPA)
During this time, Justin was able to grasp large scale piano works with a musical sensitivity beyond his years, however the plaudits did not impact on him. "I remember Walter Haas telling me after a performance that he had seen many pianists and that I would "make it" but it was just about the music for me."
A former Music Managers Forum member, Justin James is also a full writer member of the Australian Performing Rights Association and a friend of the Sydney International Piano Competition.
Right Here Right Now
Justin James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it carries me wherever I go
You're the one that I turn to
Won't you promise me that you'll
Smile just a little while longer
In this lovers' playground
That we got
Oh right here right now
If you could change one thing about the world
Just one thing about me now
What would that one thing be?
If you could take just a little piece away
Just a little piece of today
Would you be taking me away with you?
Right here right now
Oh right here right now
People wait too long before they tell the one
Yeah and that's a shame baby
I won't be afraid to tell you that
I'm only half without you
I don't need to be reminded
I've already decided
Right here right now
Oh right here right now
I found myself just tripping over melodies
Then I found you and it was perfect company
I don't know if you know just what you been doing to me baby...
The lyrics to Justin James Ft. Brooks's song Right Here express the strong bond and connection that the singer has with their significant other. They describe how a part of their partner is always with them and how they turn to them in times of need. The singer asks their partner to promise to hold on a little longer in this beautiful moment that they share in their relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "right here right now" to emphasize the present moment and how important it is to cherish each moment that they have together.
The second verse acknowledges the imperfections and flaws present in both the world and the singer themselves. However, the singer questions whether their partner would still want to take away a part of them, even with these flaws. The song then switches back to the chorus, emphasizing the importance of being present in the moment with the person you love.
Overall, the lyrics to Right Here are a beautiful and heartfelt expression of love and connection. The song encourages listeners to cherish the present moment with the people they care about and to appreciate the little things that make life meaningful.
