Jamie was blown away by his Christmas present this year. Six musicians from 6 completely different genres were commissioned to write, compose, and record a song about Jamie. The only information they received was information about Jamie and his case, and they were asked to write a song about whatever aspect or view point resonated with them - whether it was from Jamie's point of view, a supporter's point of view, his family - anything goes. And man, did they really step up to the plate! I can't begin to tell you how wonderful these artists were to work with on this project. They were so in tune, pardon the pun, with Jamie's plight, and our efforts to overturn his wrongful conviction. They were filled with hope for his release, and that has everything to do with you. I have no doubt they garnered material from his support network because the lyrics speak for themselves. Thank you for that. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! You can see pictures of the artists who are not anonymous and read the lyrics on the episode page on SnowFiles.net. All of them are simply amazing. So - for best listening, slap on your headphones - and don't forget to let us know what you think! Lyrics and links to the individual MP3's in the show notes.

Lyrics: Snowman (acoustic, soulful)

by Anonymous

[verse 1]

Locked up

It get colder every year

And for what

How the hell did we end up here?

No evidence.. no lessons learnt

No trial to clear a name

Are we just playing a game

In a world full of shame

And as the snow began to fall

I could hear the angels calling

[chorus]

you see truth will always win

You’ll be home once again

Oh the winter snow

Will always show there’s hope

And it's like gold. And time will tell

So hold on, your pain is felt

There won’t be no rest

We’ll do our best

To get you home, where you belong

Once again.

[verse 2]

22 long years

Far too many tears

It’s hard to imagine the pain

You feel each day

And stay, and wait and

Up, up all night

It soon will be, be your time to

To relinquish this pain

And hold your name

As a symbol of hope and

As the snow begins to fall

I can hear the angels calling

[chorus]

[bridge]

Locked up, for nothing

Justice is coming

I said locked up, right here, for nothing

Justice, it's here, it's coming

[chorus]

Lyrics: Justice Shine (pop/country/ukulele)

by Kel

I see a snowman outside

that’s what they call me inside

of this awful place

I did no mistake

it’s so hard to breathe

without family

although they’re with me

with their hearts baby

[chorus]

Yes I know

that I’ll hear something good

it will happen this time

Now is the time

And I know that I have you

now is the time

now is the time

bright oh justice shine!

And deep down I know

I am not alone

though it’s 22

that i’ve been without you

I’ll freeze my hands someday

cause i’ll finally

feel the snowman’s frost

with my fingertips

[chorus]

I need your strength

yes i feel that you are with me

what is next?

i want to be free

Yes I know

that I’ll hear something
