Moker Jarrett ASCAP with Lucky Stiff, a classic rock group from Jacksonville, Florida has released Ready to Fly a new CD under Run to the Sun Publishing/ASCAP.
Moker Jarrett grew up in the coastal area of Northeast Florida. His dad was a coach and one of his coaching buddies gave Moker his nickname at around age six. Obviously it stuck like glue. The folk masses at St. Paul's were among his first guitar/vocal conquests and that has turned into a lifetime of writing and performing songs. In addition to his dad, his granny and mom were big influences of his outlook on life. My wife gives me a huge dose of support to continue writing at this level. Country has become a favorite genre of Moker's and his main co-writer, Dale Peaden from Panama City Florida shares 13 of the 17 cuts on the recently released CD "Cut This". This team shares a mix of uptempos and heartfelt tunes and is sure to be on their way to garnering a string of country hits. You'll go away humming the melodies and chorus lines and these songs draw you in and make you feel like you're right there in the story. Still performing at local festivals Moker's group "Moker Jarrett with Lucky Stiff"a Jacksonville Florida based power trio is a collection of veteran performers (Moker Jarrett from Jacksonville, guitars, vocals, & songwriter, Jim Rohl,from Cincinnatti drums, Billy Smith, from Philadelphia, bass guitar, & vocals) commited to having a good time, writing cuttable original material for the country and pop/rock markets, and stayin' true to our roots of music with a groove. Music should make your body move!

Story behind the song
Heartbroken girl in despair turns to the comfort of divine love, the only true way not to get burned.
Lyrics
Even the Candles Cried He said he'd be there by nine - she smiled - remembering his cologne The waiter lit the candles - she stared out the window - and waited all alone Sipped a glass of table wine - tried to call - but he wouldn't answer the phone This'd be the last time he'd break her heart cause the man was made of stone She broke down and... Chorus: Even the candles cried -- guess they realized He'd set her up for another painful fall He'd spoken outright lies -- she stared into his deceiving eyes Gave her hope -- that was the cruelest of all And as if to sympathize -- even the candles cried She left out in the rain - and wandered - till she met the dawn And there in the sunlight - stood an old church - that'd once been her second home Sat down on the old pew - where she'd given her life to him - a long time ago And there in the stained glass with arms outstretched was The Man sitting on his Throne ....well she reached out and... Chorus: Even the candles cried -- guess they realized He was there to break her -- painful falls He'd never spoken lies -- when she looked into his eyes He gave her hope -- when she had none at all And it came as no surprise -- even the candles cried Bridge: On life's long journey when you're slippin' down Your plans are meltin' - fallin' all around Remember that sunlight thru the stained glass in your eyes And the candles shinin' thru your darkest night Chorus: Even the candles cried -- guess they realized He was there to break her -- painful falls He'd never spoken lies -- when she looked into his eyes He gave her hope -- when she had none at all And it came as no surprise -- even the candles cried (c)2007, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett (ASCAP) Publishing My Three Kids Music /Nashville
