My songs are like a travelogue of my life. In this song, I was living in Denver in the early 1990s in my 30s and still trying unsuccessfully to get a girlfriend. I started writing the song. The group I was in was too embarrassed to play the song and made fun of it, especially the lines "I want to go where the lovers go, I want to do what they do." Fast forward to 2023, I decided to finish the song and I was shy about sharing it. Ironically, when I released it on Broadjam, it quickly became my third #1 Earth song, and stayed there for two weeks.

All the instruments on "Just Another Weekend" are Band in a Box except for a very small piano part I did on midi:

Sofi Berro, a vocalist from Argentina on Fiverr did the vocals.

I used Studio One 6 for mixing. I have version 7 now. I sometimes use it for mastering or I use the Lurssen Console.

JUST ANOTHER WEEKEND Words and music by John Walradt

Out on the street
People rush or they greet
There is paper upon the sidewalk
I'm lookin' out the window and the world's looking back at me.

There's groceries to get
And laundry to do
I'll wander inside a bookstore
It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me.

I want to go where the lovers go
I want to do what they do
I don't want to live my life alone
Oh, when will my dreams come true?

Don't need a list, I'll find what I need
I stroll through a maze of aisles
A couple holding hands
Oh, when will that happen to me? Ah-ah, ah-ah

Wait at the checkstand
Gaze at the time
And hurry to send a package
It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me.

I want to go where the lovers go
I want to do what they do
Walk through the trees over scattered leaves
Oh, when will my dreams come true?

I want to go where the lovers go
I want to do what they do
I don't want to live my life alone
Oh, when will my dreams come true?

The moon is a crescent
I'll drive to the dance
Inside of an old school building
Love is for sale
The cashier hands a ticket to me, ah-ah, ah

Those eyes that I see
Are looking at me
Or is it just wishful thinking
It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me
Just another weekend for me, just another weekend for me.
