about

Blaney's third release brings a fusion of her lyrical tact along with her soulful, calm, and intensely poignant singing voice, unheard in her previous solo releases. "Jack" sheds a light on the importance of truth, the importance of a gut feeling, and the importance of looking out for one another in this world. Learning how to love.

lyrics

Blue evening
No meaning, talking 'bout us
Won’t leave me now and it's all because
Hard feelings
Tried to please me and I’m
Stuck feeling laid up in the dazey love

So if you hear about it
Wont you tell me to shut up?
And if I go on about it
Tell me leave it behind us
And yes please, don’t think about it
Don’t even worry bout me 'cause
I’ve got the key
The battalion
And I’m fighting for this gut

So just trust, trust
Let the trust be the first
Till the "man" takes his toll
And we left to the dirt
Till we follow him first, till we follow him back
Till we break each other's necks
and still we only get jack, jack

(ad lib.)

Fight with me
Keep complaining you just
Gonna show me how well you know how to love
Tied to it (The thought and the idea)
Till it leaves me and (I know)
Just free me how can I return to love?

So don’t think about it
It ain’t helping baby trust (Trust in it)
Love, go along with it, ain't nothing wrong with loving lust
And if it’s love come around it
Follow me through autumn 'cause
If baby don’t he Aladdin
Think he got bread when he got crust

So just trust, trust
Let the trust be the first
Till the "man" takes his toll
And we left to the dirt
Till we follow him first, till we follow him back
Till we break each other’s necks and still we only get jack, jack

Only rain can make the rainbow come
You can be the moon and sun
You can make the water run, running in
Here it comes again, will you love again?
All the things you’ve done
Forgive 'em they can’t hold your love
Make it your life’s wisdom
Running in, here it comes again will you love again
Only rain can make the rainbow come
You can be the moon and sun
You can make the water run, running in
Here it comes again, will you love again?
All the things you’ve done
Forgive 'em they can’t hold your love
Make it your life’s wisdom
Running in, run to love

So just trust, trust
Let the trust be the first
Till the "man" takes his toll
And we left to the dirt
Till we follow him first, till we follow him back
Till we break each other’s necks and still we only get jack, jack
