about

I had been writing this song for easily seven years. It had a very different narrative in early drafts, that I couldn’t figure out how to work through and finish. While taking a songwriting class from the great Craig Carothers, he tasked us with writing a break-up song where we were the one we were breaking up with. It made me think of the ultimate moment of breaking up with ourselves…when our spirit leaves our body. I knew that the music I had been working on for seven years was waiting for this assignment.

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...

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
