Hey, remember in a previous post when I said I had posted a crazy job on Upwork seeking someone to basically send me back in time and make me appear on Johnny Carson? Well, some good conversations came from that, because you never know who you’re going to meet when you put a crazy, human feeler out into the world with a particular goal in mind.

But BTS (oh yes, smell that acronym, take a whiff of it’s street cred), I really do already have a publicist. Her name is Ariel and she is one of the most amazing persons on the planet. Truly. I connected with her a few years back because I believed in her cause. And her cause was me, as an artist. Her cause is all of us who want to get our music heard. She does this because she loves it. And it exhausts her. And now her parents need taking care of and she’s an only child, so send your thoughts to her. Lots of people in that position in my generation right now.

Ariel and her crew at Cyber PR are incredible people. Investing in her back in the day because I believed so much in her belief was one of the best ways to try to start sharing my music with a greater number of people. If you’re an artist looking to find your way into music, which is very hard right now, I direct you straight to Cyber PR. The resources Ariel and her group have put together are almost overwhelming.

Some people learn hard things and figure out how to sell that information at the highest price. That’s fine. If you’re doing that, I don’t judge you. Truly. It’s a commercial world, do your thing. But some people are born teachers, and it never occurs to them to make that much money off of their guidance, because they’re so invested in guiding the good people.

That’s Ariel. Go check her out and make vast use of her virtually endless PDFs which are all fucking priceless and you should read all of them before you ever drop a penny on a class about how to “break in.” Learn from someone who really cares about you. And then, when you’re convinced she loves you more than you do yourself, throw her some money to get you some press, which in this day in age means very valuable Google results real estate.

Ok, I’m very happy to have had an opportunity to share that resource with you. The reason it came to mind is, Ariel and I connected about how we’re getting from here through the release of Baby Can’t Be Helped on February 7, and then through the release of Waiting for the Drugs to Kick In, to the April release of my first full-length album King Jaymes.

Part of that process is coming up with the song description that we provide journalists. I thought you might want a sneak peek:

Stephen Jaymes, the folk-punk hero intent on saving the human race, has released a new single that describes the part of the human brain that refuses help. Even when it knows the help is genuine. There’s a part of the brain that still refuses help even after the rest of our brain has accepted that the help is real.

Stephen has named this part of the human brain ‘Baby,’ and he has noted that Baby prefers suffering over healing. In fact, Baby doesn’t care if you have to suffer right along with Baby, too.

Stephen’s new song is called BABY CAN’T BE HELPED. On the cover, Stephen is seen in a baby outfit, his mohawk peaking through the baby bonnet on his head, a baby bottle in one hand, his body engaged in what looks like an absolute tantrum.

After asking the world if last summer was, in fact, the Last Predictable Summer (it was), Stephen is now asking the world, are we in the hands of Baby? Does the Baby who can’t be helped, who refuses even the smartest answers and the clearest paths forward, have a stranglehold on our future?

A lot of people feel this way right now, especially after a brutal January delivered too much bad news for the future of the planet. Stephen Jaymes can hear their cry, and he wants them to know that he sees Baby too. Baby is a little like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man at the end of Ghostbusters now. Baby is a huge, angry monster roaming our land, rattling its rattle, shaking its baby fists, and leaking foul smelling ideas and words all over the street.

But Baby exists in each of our minds originally, and Stephen wants us to join him in recognizing this part of the human brain that might be too over-stimulated right now. When we all see Baby in charge, our brains naturally start to imitate Baby, and the Baby part of our brains resonate in unconscious sympathy. This is why it feels like everyone is just pouring oil on the fire.

Stephen Jaymes is asking us to see the Baby part of our brain and to try to turn it off as best we can. BABY CAN’T BE HELPED is part of a bigger message Stephen is bringing to the world that he calls #VISION2025. It’s a response to that other plan that starts in 2025, and it’s much more sustainable and peaceful and human-centered.

Stephen wants us to join him on a journey to heal the planet by making it our singular goal to feed, house, and medicate (as appropriate) every single individual human being on the planet. Stephen believes billionaire culture, ironically, may have given us the efficiency to achieve this.

He has used his recently launched blog, Particles, to argue, through a number of philosophical but action-oriented posts, that our last, best shot for saving Mother Earth is to get a few people at the top of this unbalanced culture to join him in acknowledging how easy it would be to achieve this simple definition of peace on Earth, and how good they would feel using their machinery to achieve it.

Stephen really believes the human nervous system has been designed to experience the ultimate high. The high that bests all other highs. It beats every marketed or street drug, and every wonderful ‘natural’ drug we can think of, from the high of romance to the high of parenthood to the high of ultimate personal achievement.

He believes that when we all turn our consciousness now, when the planet is collapsing into its actual death throes, to the idea of making every individual on the planet healthy and safe, we will experience a permanent, renewable, world-changing high that is worth going for just because it will feel so good.

Even if a billionaire isn’t empathetic enough to want to save the world, a billionaire still wants that ultimate high. Better than the high from another healthier person’s injected blood. Better than the rumored high that requires an actual human sacrifice. Better than, and in complete polar opposition to, whatever terrible high drove Jeffrey Epstein.

The greatest high the human nervous system can possibly achieve is called peace on Earth, and Stephen Jaymes believes that one or two billionaires out there will realize, hungrily, that they want this feeling. Stephen is on a mission for the rest of us to show them what that’s like, and he’s beginning to draw in real followers with his sincere, science-based, hopeful message.

BABY CAN’T BE HELPED is a folk-punk analysis of the force we are temporarily ruled by, here in the real swing of the Sixth Extinction. The force we have to face and overcome, just as Harry did Voldemort, and Luke did Vader before him, and with all the same minimal mathematical probabilities their stories convey.

The song opens with a heavy rock chord progression played in a gentle way, perfectly preparing us for this Baby side of the human personality. We hear a raging storm that can’t quite make the noise it wants to because…it’s a baby. Stephen’s voice joins the mix with an assured, relaxed delivery that conveys the head-shaking concern of a doctor trying to be helpful and failing.

In the choruses, BABY CAN’T BE HELPED takes a nice bluesy turn that builds up chord change upon chord change, delivering the hope and aspiration of a great urge to help with a breakthrough, only to fall back into the realization that, yes, this does indeed seem like a pointless effort.

But pointlessness is not the message of BABY CAN’T BE HELPED. Stephen is telling us to gear up for battle with this pointlessness, this Baby who refuses all good answers. Notice it, recognize it, fight it, and fight it with a plan.

Pointing a wry finger at the Baby part of the human experience that helps explain what we are dealing with, Stephen Jaymes marches on with VISION2025, offering his music and humor and real hope in the face of the global menace that is…the BABY who CAN’T BE HELPED.

(Hey, did you make it all the way down here? So cool. Welcome. It’s nice down here. No carpet, just organic wood. Cool and refreshing. Take a breath with me. How you doing? Good, me too. Do you want to actually hear the whole song before it gets released on February 7? Then you can go to the secret link that journalists are being directed to. Just don’t share it with anyone! Oh wait, what am I saying? Must be this nice, cool, smooth floor causing me to relax so much. Here you go. I love you.
