NEW VOICES :: I'll Jump

[@Habanero212]

as a voice teacher of 20 years i'm telling you right now, if ANYBODY tells you to change anything tell them to f- off. very well placed, very musical, very expressive. don't change a thing.

[@r7u0s7]

His voice... so perfect!!!

[@BrinaMarySeattle]

What a great singer and gorgeous voice. He really communicates this song. I could listen all day!

[@breannain]

The lyrics: When I was a kid Just a skinny kid We would summer at the shore Since I was afraid I only would wade To waist high and nothing more Never over my head But choosing instead To see the bottom below I was safe, I was sound Feet on the ground No threat from the undertow But one day this boy who was older Threw me over his sun-burnt shoulder And to my surprise and my shock Tossed me off of the end of the dock And I swear Fear replaced with the thrilling taste I'd not soon forget What a crime to waste more time And never get wet! So I vowed to the blue skies above Next time I won't need a shove I'll jump! I'll jump When I was sixteen Barely just sixteen My Great-Uncle came to town A gourmet of note Who researched and wrote A cookbook of some renown There was page after page Of saffron and sage The spice of the life he had led Tales of places he'd seen Sampling cuisine Would fill up my teenage head So that June he made a suggestion In the form of a simple question 'Would I like to go sail the seas? Feast in Trinidad, dine in Beliz?' I said yes! Suitcase packed Yet still I lacked The nerve to explore Fear prevailed His ship soon sailed But I stayed on shore I'd forgotten the lesson once learned Next time the chance returned I'd Jump! Better safe than sorry Is no way to play the game It's rather sorry that safe leads to nothing But more of the same So here I am now This is me right now Perched upon this hotel bed My only desire To somehow acquire A blueprint for what's ahead I could keep my routine A life that's serene With comforting guarantees Or go out on a whim And take a swim In deep and uncharted seas I have learned that life is quite fleeting And mistakes waste your time repeating Since the gain could outweigh the harm And we all know that 'three time's the charm!' I will jump! Fear ignored I will jump on board And go for the ride! I'll be strong And if I'm wrong At least I'll have tried! Life is meant to be lived on the edge This time I won't feel the ledge I'll jump! I'll jump! I'll jump
