about

The title was the prompt. A friend was going through his own divorce and was trying to date for the first time in a long time. The lyric narrative sprang from his stories. It was an offering of hope for him—and all of us, really. Especially now. “I’ll use hope like adrenaline until my arrested heart beats in time.” I love how bright and nimble the music is, while the lyrics are a bit darker. I also love Jim Hoke’s horn arrangement.

lyrics

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

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
