Why is My Heart in My Throat?: Selected Lyrics of J. Trafford

The modern lyric is an afterthought, cruelly cool and loftily subliminal. But the progressive lines of style are highly defined, and for J. Trafford, antagonism (perceived or otherwise) is the mother of innovation. J. Trafford's advance on rock/pop music and writing started in 2002. Why is My Heart in My Throat? collects lyrics from over twenty years, demonstrating an unyielding reach. Occasionally, the aim is to switch a light off, like Mother Earth throwing darkness, putting trust in the listener to hit the mark. Is J. Trafford really so different from you?
