ONCE & FOR ALL
by Recorded by Jason Mraz
-
Digital Album
Recorded "Live" by two time Grammy Award winner Jason Mraz. This original old time sounding Jazz album was written by Gregory Page. This yet to be self- released album features some of Southern California's best Jazz Musicians.
Maverick Magazine UK ~ “A quite exclusive voice that oozes sweetness and romanticism”
NPR Radio ~ “Page’s music is nostalgic; his warbling & instrumentation sound straight out of the phonograph. Listening to him transplants us to some Great Gatsby-like setting where everyone dresses for
Penthouse Magazine ~ “A brilliant collection of optimistic melancholy beautiful and aching. The sound of remorse tempered by dark humor”
Performing Songwriter Magazine ~ Imagine Neil Young composing music for 1930s-era Italian films and you’ll get an idea of Gregory Page. His wavering tenor brings life to lyrics about mysterious hauntings, broken hearts and city parks in the springtime. There’s a sparkling, music-box quality to many of the tunes and a comfy ambience to his music that, day or night, will certainly set the mind to dreaming.
Unlock Austin Magazine ~ Gregory Page has the rare talent to write songs that are melancholy, nostalgic and contemporary. He is a modern vaudevillian. While it seems the rest of the music world is dedicated to a mantra of bigger, faster, louder, this music rises above. Gregory has recorded a timeless album.
Santa Barbara Independent ~ To spend an evening in his company is like sitting in a living room with your best friend. His engaging songs and endearing banter are free from pretense and latent with cause. He makes being a singer-songwriter looks easy. Which begs the question: “What’s it really like to be a troubadour?” “I like to think of it as being independently wealthy,” says Page. “You’re completely independent of wealth.”
Rolling Stone Magazine ~ “Gregory Page, never heard of him”

Wooden Birds Don't Sing
Walking In The Park
Walking in the park after dark
Just me and my gal
Lovers on a stroll as midnight rolls in
On a gentle breeze
Swinging hand in hand is just grand
And baby you sure are swell
If love is like water
My heart is a wishing well
Tell me that you love me
Say you'll never leave me
And I'll forever be your loving man
Souvenirs from yester-years
They all don't mean a thing
The coo-coo clock won't tick or tock
And the wooden bird won’t sing
And since you’ve been gone
I found that loneliness can sting
A photograph of you makes me blue
Tonight I wonder where you are
I drive around the neighborhood
Remember days that were good here
in this dirty old town
How could you confuse me
Why did you deceive me
If I could never be your loving man
You turned me upside down
and you made my face turn red
Now I got stars and tiny blue birds
all spinning round my head
You're a basket case of love
I watch you bounce from bed to bed - Track Name: No Sad Goodbyes

No Sad Goodbyes
I tell myself this time’s for real
Don’t be afraid to be alone
‘Cause she took the last train out of the station
I watched it disappear
There were no sad goodbyes
For my imagination
Suddenly was clear
‘Cause she took a long time
Before she hypnotized
Me with her favorite lies
I’ve heard them all before
So why don’t you kick me while
I’m down on the floor
I took a wrong turn and ended up inside
Incarceration my disguise was only to pretend
Until I fell back into her arms again
Another night falls on this empty room
Man what a drag to feel this way
‘Cause she took the last train
Out of the station
I watched it disappear
There were no sad goodbyes
for my imagination
Suddenly was clear - Track Name: Silver Dollar Moon

Silver Dollar Moon
Silver dollar moon in a blue velvet sky
Stardust sprinkles in my eyes
Cocktails and cold hearts
Alone together swinging in the dark
Champagne dreamers by candle light
A touch of madness burning bright
After hours it's the same old show
One for my baby and one more for the road
Well a swig of gin and then I'm in too far
Over the the moon I'll jump
And swing from star to star
Tomorrow's blues will fade
Vanish in a martini masquerade
So here I'll stay - Track Name: Come In From The Cold

Come In From The Cold
Old man winter
He's coming into town
He's knocking on my window
Trying to blow my house down
I step outside just as it starts to rain
Tonight I feel like riding
On a downtown train
Quarter past midnight
I arrive at the St. James Hotel
I'm visiting my cousin Jim
Who ain't been feeling well
He says there are demons all around him
And his only friend's a ghost
Who once a week leaves a T.V. guide
And a couple packs of smokes
If you ever wanna get out of this place
If you find yourself searching
For hope in outer space
Don't be surprised you ain't the only one
Who thinks this whole damn world
Is just coming undone
Take a trip down Fifth Avenue
On a one way ride
To a midnight rendezvous
There are people out there
Who can't come in from the cold
It's just the same old story told
After hours at an all night restaurant
The headlines read catastrophe
And I guess the Padres won
There's a guy sitting at the counter
He's talking to his food
He's saying 'Are you steak or are you liver,
or are you kangaroo?'
I hop into a taxi cab and say
'Driver take me home'
I smell whiskey in the air
I hope he knows which way to go
Because we've been driving for hours
And the street signs all look the same
But I don't mind cruising
Here in the pouring rain - Track Name: Love Made Me Drunk

Love Made Me Drunk
All my friends they say
I'm crazy for loving you
You're driving me to drink myself
Drunk before noon
You say you're coming back
So I'll wait for a blue moon
I open the door
Watch your ghost appear once more
You tell me lies
I just nod with a smile
And I raise my glass to your health
Love of my life you treat me so well
Oh so well
The nights are longer than the days
That is for sure
I’m so drunk on cough syrup
It tastes like a fancy liqueur
You say that you're coming back
So I composed an overture - Track Name: Bon Voyage Mon Cheri

Bon Voyage Mon Cheri
I watch the rainfall on Paris roo ops
I watch the doves and pigeons y
I hear laughter from a balcony below me
Above a beautiful gray sky
Motor scooters chase all the cars that race
As lights turn from red to green
Twilight is the time and out of fashion is a crime
e most beautiful women I've ever seen
Is this the place for me?
Far across the deep blue sea
Bon Voyage Mon Cheri
Paris by night was love at rst sight
e Eiel Tower's all a glow
Music lls the air and poets paint words to share
Soon it will be time to go
