Trust pt 1 (the shoulder song)
A song about keeping faith!
Singer - Songwriter from Shropshire in England
Born some moons ago, always loved writing and drawing sice i was a kid and have written songs since i was 13, over the years since i have recorded on everything from little tape decks to nowadays my yammy n12.
Eventually got brave and released some of my efforts at music onto the internet in 2007 followed a year later by a debut nerve shredding live performance of some of my tunes and a few quirky covers.
Story behind the song
The shoulder song aka (trust pt 1)
This is the ever faithful album power ballad, a tune I wrote nearly three years ago but only finished about three weeks ago!, a personal favorite of mine but one which has caused me no end of grief getting it to its present state, finding the belief that i could sing it and do a decent enough job caused me to forever try and offer it out to my friends to sing before i finally just one afternoon recorded a vocal i was happy enough with, its actually four at once to cover all the bases and I liked it so much i knocked the instruments back a tad to leave the first few lines accapella to really start a power ballad from nothing!, the song is all about faith as is "jazzy" and a few other of the tunes on the cd, having faith in whatever form it takes really holds us all together and this song is all about tying all the bits together and moving forward after taking a knock to still try and reach whatever goals you set yourself, i set myself goals i know will be hard to achieve but i'll still keep chipping away at them for the sake of my soul and my sanity and this will forever be my motto until i either achieve them or cark it!.
Lyrics
The Shoulder Song
(Words and music by Warren Jenks)
(Straight into song)
1.
When life bites hard we drift apart, soon lose sight of where we are,
we choose a road we hope is right then hitch a ride and hold on tight,
to chase the key that makes us real, to express just how we feel,
one chance to take, no place to cry, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
2.
So lay your head on my shoulder and lets get on now
we have much to see and do, our time is yet to come,
so lay your head on my shoulder and we can make it
forget the past move on, and i believe we can't go wrong.
3.
It wont be easy that's no mistake and there must be some give and take,
but i'll fight hard if you will too, to work things out for me and you.
4.
but talk to me, well sometimes you never wanna talk to me,
open up for once, and tell me just how you feel.
(guitar solo missing on backing track)
5.
and hold me, well sometimes you just don't wanna hold me,
change your ways for once now and show me just what you need.
6.
lay your head on my shoulder and we can make it
lead me on and all walls will break down
lay your head on my shoulder and lets move on
well I see it, believe in us, i feel we can't go wrong x2
i feel we can't go wrong (till fade out coda)
7. coda
There's still a place for us to reach, if we both believe, just believe!.
