Jenny Hudson: Well guys, it's been a while, and I've had a lot of growing up to do over the last few months, learning the ways of the world I guess, but I'm back now at last. I loved the feedback you all gave me from "Dreamland", and now I'm so happy to be back in business and working so hard on a comeback album.
I was very keen to get started though, and to really get my toes dipped back into the water of the music industry, I've decided to release a new single.
This song was recorded in the immediate aftermath of it being written. I had sat in the studio all day with my feet up just humming a tune in my head, and I knew it was wedged in. So as soon as I got some suitable lyrics, I knew I had to dive behind a microphone and just lay the track down. I'm exceedingly happy with how it came out. It sounds fresh to me, like the break I've had was worth it.
It also sounds very stripped back though. The song is very ambient, and it's just me and a piano. I decided to leave the guitar for this track, because it just didn't feel like it quite fits in. Don't worry though, my album will still be mostly acoustic guitar based, this song just felt like it needed a twist to it, and I hope it worked.
The song is about fighting for what you want in love. Strictly speaking, the lyrics refer to love and relationships, but the song means so much more. It's simply an ode to fighting for your dreams, and not being afraid to fall or fail when you reach for the stars. It may be a quiet and slow ballad, but I think it is very uplifting still. It makes me smile, and I hope it makes you guys smile too.
Lyrics
Someone once said to me, that we make our own luck in this game,
It may be life, and it may be death,
But we choose just what we do and we don’t feel shame.
Don’t you fear the rejection,
and don’t look at where you might fall down,
Just look around, and you may find your affection,
This life isn’t made to adorn with a frown.
I won’t look at where I’m going,
I’ll just fight the fear and stroll on through,
It could rain, it might be snowing,
But walk on my love if you feel it too.
All these days in life feel oh so plain, and I try to just break loose,
It may be tough, yeah yeah it may be hard
But make the move and march on cos baby we can’t lose.
And if you fall just fall,
Don’t fight at all,
If you need me tonight, and it gets too much
Oh baby make the call.
So don’t walk away,
Don’t feed the pain,
Don’t worry about what if’s, and what could be,
Just try to seize the day
Seize the day.
So honey let’s go now, let’s move to the edge of happiness,
We may be beaten, get knocked down,
But we got each other baby, so we are blessed.
I don’t care too much what people say,
If we had to, with you I would run away.
But this isn’t a trap, oh it’s not a test,
I’ll just beg for forgiveness.
And If you fall just fall,
Don’t fight at all,
If you need me tonight, and it gets too much,
Oh baby make the call.
So don’t walk away,
Don’t feed the pain,
Don’t worry about what if’s, and what could be,
Just try to seize the day.
Seize the day.
And when you fly, don’t forget to soar so high,
Oh no, Don’t be afraid to try.
Cos if we conquer fear, then we can see so clear,
And baby,
I feel you near, ooh babe I feel you near.
Oh if this has got to die, you won’t hear me cry,
Cos there’s a reason why.
And if we fight for love, it’s not good enough,
We gotta know, we gotta feel, what it’s worth, so tough.
And If you fall just fall,
Don’t fight at all,
If you need me tonight, and it gets too much,
Oh baby make the call.
So don’t walk away,
Don’t feed the pain,
Don’t worry about what if’s, and what could be,
Just try to seize the day.
And If you fall just fall,
Don’t fight at all,
If you need me tonight, and it gets too much,
Oh baby make the call.
So don’t walk away,
Don’t feed the pain,
Don’t worry about what if’s, and what could be,
Just try to seize the day.
Seize the day.
