The Elusive Chanteuse

JESSIE J - R.O.S.E. (Empowerment)

[Verse 1]
I find myself daydreaming of a better world
Memories can bleed in my open heart
London clouds are crying, but I'm dancing in the pouring rain
Grown up life is to learn not to fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm closer to high vibrations
Earning of the sweeter and deeper waves
And what I can do, to make it
To be at peace, and be true to me, in every way

[Chorus]
I know I'll be alright
I know that I'll survive
I know I'll rise above it
'Cause I believe in love
And even when it's hard
Livin' with my scars
It never mounts to nothing
'Cause I believe in love

[Verse 2]
Nobody tells me how to grow, no
I just gotta know
Emotional, but I won’t define myself on the past
Balance is key, understanding I can won’t be always in control
Sometimes the right road goes by taking the broken path

A better time and place, turn of the Century Britain...

Can I just reiterate my feelings about this tune. It is a true masterpiece, up there with the greatest of say Fleetwood Mac or the Beatles or Paul Simon or Neil Young or Stevie Wonder etc. High praise you may say, but this has everything, modulation, a universal lyric, sing along quality, Love as the subject, frankly everything a tune needs and could ever have. Repeat.

Please listen very carefully, without prejudice.

One of the truly great songwriters, Jessie J.

I believe in love.

( This rendition ends very well indeed after a clipy start. That wiggle is priceless )

Morning!

This is the duel that others have set up and I am simply an observer of (?)...

Jessie J vs Mariah Carey....

*How cool is that*

Amsterdam...

*Oh the fuckin' preamble *

I thank you to do one thing this Sunday morning... And that thing is to listen to Jessie J's latest album, Rose.

If you cannot listen to the whole album  then I implore you to listen to the single 'I Believe in Love'

What could possibly go wrong?

Love Jessie J etc. etc,

One of those very rarest of perfect tunes, *without your drummer you are nothing*.

If I do not win a competition or somehow chance upon a phantom re-sale, I'm fucked, not going.

Please enjoy this for me.

One of these years, this particularly, exceptionally, wonderful, LEGEND will play. Probably Sunday.
