about

This song is one of my all-time favorite compositions. It’s the one holdover from Because of Zeeva, an album which took me 10 years to complete. I was so elated and exhausted from the accomplishment, that I really didn’t promote that album as well as it should have been promoted. It ended up being just for myself. This song deserves to be heard by others outside my personal sphere of influence. I’m happy I’m bringing it along for this ride and in so doing, I’ve fallen back in love with this song. It’s about loving someone so much but knowing you need to give them their space and you need your space as well, but you cannot do without them.

lyrics

Sometimes I try
To pull away from you
You've taken all I have to give
Still you hunger

Sometimes I try
To put away this love I feel
So heavy
Its weight on my heart

If you walk away
I will crumble
I will perish, I will falter, I will die
If you go
My world will shatter

My eyes are now wide open
And I can see
that you and me
We're never meant to be

But when I close my eyes
I have only one vision
Its you and me, just us
Yeah... Yeah...

If you walk away
I will crumble
I will perish, I will falter, I will die
If you go
My world will shatter
God only knows
the lengths I'd go
To find my way

If we can slow down
Breathe in, breathe out
Take stock
Slow down and reach in

If you walk away
I will crumble
I will perish, I will falter, I will die
If you go
My world will shatter
God only knows
the lengths I'd go
To find my way
And the strength I have
To face each coming day
... will fade

about

Jason Shand New York, New York

Jason Shand's goal with this 14-song collection was to make a substantive personal pop album that not only caters to this single-driven era, but also caters to the old school era of having a full length album where each song flows into the other, taking the listener on a sonic storytelling ride.

"With every song being a potential single, I'd like to think I succeeded. Can't wait to release it!"
