Go Deeper 04:18
Go Deeper Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Time gives an opportunity Reveals my deepest wounds and needs Oh my redacted memories Tucked in my body Tried to outrun them, moving fast Those buried treasures from my past Dying in the shadow cast As my spirit asks [me to] Go deeper… So tired of doing what I’ve done My cynical mind forgets the fun I pushed away the only one Who knows where I come from [So I’ll] Go deeper… An infant cries inside of a boy That boy trembles deep inside a man That man gets lost in Busy-work and plans as time ticks Yeah, time ticks Go deeper…

One More Time Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Two days now we’ve made no contact Eighty-eight more to go We both agreed this Summer’s one that We’ll each have to go alone Closed blinds by the swimming pool The cold grill of a barbecue I don’t want to waste the season I don’t want to move on You go enjoy the ocean breeze and I’ll just avoid the sun Self-help books on audio From a starter home back to a studio Sign me up, I’m a puppet I’m just hanging on your line I’m a fool, but fuck it I just want to see you one more time One more time My shrink calls this love addiction It’s a verbal attack Her description sounds familiar How I lean in just as you pull back Give me methadone from my telephone The courage to change or leave alone Sign me up, I’m a puppet I’m just hanging on your line I’m a fool, but fuck it I’ll recover next time One more hit, then I’ll quit Life alone hurts my spirit Your embrace was sublime I just want to see you one more time One more time I don’t feel well, I shake, shake a dull ache fills up my chest… I’m looking for some relief, from this grief and all my feelings unexpressed… Sign me up, I’m a puppet I’m just hanging on your line I’m a fool, but mother fuck it I tap the screen to dial These withdrawals made me call You ignore them one and all You’re much stronger than I’m I just want to see you one more time One more time Two more times All the time… I just want to see you…all the time…

Begin Again, Again Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) It’s the closing of Summer There’s a lingering heat This town feels so strange without you How I miss your kisses and your body… It’s 755 miles It’s an eleven hour drive With just four days to make the most of If I leave at dawn before long I’ll be at your side… The curving road ahead reminds me Of your silhouette in my bed Can we begin again, again Can we love and let go Fail another time or two Each time closer to the truth Can we begin again, again (x2) Harsh words had been spoken Several months spent apart Apologies and forgiveness We made a plan to attempt a new kind of start The setting sun frames your doorway As you reach to welcome me in Can we begin again, again Can we love and let go Fail another time or two Each time closer to the truth Can we begin again, again (x2) Can we leave the past in the past These days will go fast And who knows they could be our last That’s the kind of love that I need It just keeps deepening We can’t lose if we keep recovering… Can we begin again, again Can we love and let go Fail another time or two Or at least be willing to Can we begin again, again Can we love and let go Fail another time or two Each time closer to the truth Can we begin again, again (x2)

Life 03:35
Life Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) We were born under a water sign My spirit and your body Inextricably combined Like fire and air An unlikely pair For life… Only I was ever told the plan Through the years I’d whisper Hoping you would understand Some things got through The more that you knew Of life… You made me real And I woke you up You helped me feel And I gave you love… Halfway in when you lost your way When darkness had descended When you were in a hopeless place You needed a friend You looked here within For life… You made me real And I woke you up You helped me feel And I gave you love… For a time it was enough... Now the final moments come The long farewell, a sort of breaking up One more breath and I’ll take flight Into forever, but it’s not goodbye It’s just life...

An Icy Cold 03:33
An Icy Cold Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Seaweed ‘round my ankle A corkscrewed tentacle Dragging me ever deeper And just when we got comfortable Down to the sea floor I’ll go again Pulled by the undertow I’ll long to feel sunlight on my fingertips But I’ll just feel an icy cold Off in the salty distance I can see your pallid face Both hands tied behind you Some kind of inverted embrace Down to the sea floor you’ll go again Pulled by the undertow You’ll long to feel sunlight on your fingertips But you’ll just feel an icy cold Here we go again Though we’ve tried Say that line again And I’ll say mine Two swimmers in the harbor No two happier could be Strokes slice the cresting water They move around with so much ease Down to the sea floor they’ll go Pulled by the undertow They’ll long to feel sunlight on their fingertips But they’ll just feel an icy cold

Backyard Thursday Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Scarlet cardinals on full display Watch the baby bunny rabbit jump through the gate Sit beneath the dogwood as it sways in my Backyard Thursday All those years in New York looking out on concrete, glass, and steel Never knowing just how good this change of pace would feel Penny Campbell used to own this place She planted gardens, filled up every green space I can feel her good vibrations to this day in my Backyard Thursday All those people she mentored who needed help and love Did she know those fruits would come to bear long after she’d been called above Oh my God, those things we leave behind What we feel but cannot see How beautiful, these gifts we bring Invisible legacies Some years from now I’ll be gone Someone new will sit in this here lawn Will they hear the echoes of my song in their Backyard Thursday

Fetch the Water Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, fetch the water But, there’s no water There is no water There’s no water Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, fetch the water But, there’s no water There is no water There’s no water I’m so thirsty I’m so thirsty I’m so angry This well’s gone dry Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, fetch the water Send the bucket down, but there’s no water There is no water There’s still no water There is no water I’m so thirsty I’m so thirsty I’m so lonely This well’s gone dry This well’s gone dry

Inner Shibori Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Started out clean white silk spotless, folded and bound Dipped in Japanese indigo 'til I felt like I’d drown I absorbed all the darkness I was forever transformed Once I loosed what was binding me Saw how I’d been adorned All these blue and white lines of mine Each one by design Kaleidoscopic shadow and light The inner shibori of time Searched my life for the artisan the one with blue-stained hands The one to blame for my dark design I’m starting to understand All these blue and white lines of mine Each one by design Kaleidoscopic shadow and light The inner shibori of time Ink pours out, one generation to the next Each one trying to outrun it We all end up soaking wet All these blue and white lines of mine Perfect by design Kaleidoscopic shadow and light The inner shibori of time

I’ll Just Keep Tryin’ Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) My love is imperfect, I know But here I am Rib by rib fanning open Heart in hand Glowing blue Like the moon Your love is patient, gentle, true I’ll just keep tryin’ I’ll just keep tryin’ You chose tonight to show me Who you are Your luminous beauty here In the dark I’m on fire I’m inspired You’re the source of all I admire I’ll just keep tryin’ I’ll just keep tryin’ My gratitude unfolds like old origami A humble shaking before this great mystery I want to hold on to this new serenity Once the veil drops back again will I still know you? I’ll just keep tryin’ I’ll just keep tryin’ I’ll just keep tryin’ I’ll just keep tryin’ Don’t let me go…

Dusty Sweetness Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) Dusty sweetness, where’d you go? Hidden places I don’t show? Moody river, swollen tide Overflowing on all sides Wanna be better than I am now A better man somehow Wanna be better than I am now I just can’t right now Whiskey temptress making eyes Now she comforts me most nights Held forgiveness, heavy load I can’t carry it no more Wanna be better than I am now A better man somehow Wanna be better than I am now I just can’t right now When these old habits start to do themselves I don’t enjoy them Any more far as I can tell Where is that good little boy I used to be? Wanna be better, better, better A better man somehow Wanna be better, better, better I just can’t right now Have I forgotten how? Dusty sweetness, where’d you go?

Hope Like Adrenaline Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) I don’t want a love that makes me feel this way Misunderstood and alone with nothing to say I’d rather just walk away Made the decision to fork this road of us Knowing the destination ain’t a shared one Like we once thought it was After years of idleness And fears that wore me down Where will I find the strength To finally leave this house I’ll use hope like adrenaline To get me through these nights When love’s a chameleon A location I can’t find When my heaviness and depression Start to still my beating heart I’ll use hope like adrenaline ’til my arrested heart beats in time I met a new girl before I was prepared She woke a part of me up I’d forgotten was there I believe she cared By the second time I saw her, something had changed Easy smiles were gone, now her face was pained What did I say? She said she saw red flags But she could not see me Gotta stay open No matter where this road leads I’ll use hope like adrenaline To get me through these nights When love’s a chameleon A location I can’t find When my heaviness and depression Start to still my beating heart I’ll use hope like adrenaline ’til my arrested heart Beats in time

Slow Accepting Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) I find myself alone, love More than I ever thought I'd be I say I'm doing alright, love But how could I be? You're there And I'm here Just me and the scaffolding Guess I've been slow accepting We thought we were different More permanent, more true Said we’d never do those things, love Those other people do You're there And I'm here Quietly bargaining Guess I've been slow accepting Slow accepting Slow…

Worst of Both Worlds Written by Jesse Correll © Indigo & Silk Songs 222 (ASCAP) It was the worst of both worlds The worst of both worlds Colliding, Fighting The pair of us were paralyzed… Inside, I’d had enough of my family I cut that tree down, all the children were set free Exposing the roots, secret truths once so cozy Inside Outside, our wedding day was approaching The foundation split after years of devotion Two lovers now strangers, the fear forced the anger Outside It was the worst of both worlds The worst of both worlds Colliding, Fighting The pair of us were paralyzed… Inside, you had some grief to attend to You lost your sister then lost your best friend too I just rocked you, hoping that I could soothe you Inside Outside We raised a tent and some glasses We spoke of forever in front of the masses The honeymoon soon kicked the both of our asses Outside I had a dream, we were still standing Before the vows had been broken We had a love, we had understanding But I guess we needed to break… It was the worst of both worlds The worst of both worlds Colliding, Fighting The pair of us were paralyzed…

about

Jesse Correll Nashville, Tennessee

Inner Shibori is Jesse's fourth record. The 13-song release is an album oozing luxury and longing. The production approach; sophisticated and tastefully sentimental songs; and the smooth musicianship recalls Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker's lonely balladeering, and the type of recordings made at Capital Studios in Hollywood during the 1950s and 1960s. ... more
