about

My best friend lost his mother Ellen to cancer six years ago. I wanted her to hear the song and the second I finished composing it, I got a text from my friend that she had passed away after he had just driven home from seeing her. It was heart breaking. The lyrics are what I imagined he would have wanted to say to her. Ellen was an amazing woman with a beautiful soul.

lyrics

I'm unprepared to say goodbye
I'm unprepared for you to close your eyes
I know I'll feel it everyday
The love you gave in
All your special ways

Ellen
You're so beautiful

I'm so afraid to look inside
Come face to face
With what I cannot hide
I walk a tightrope everyday
Searching for all the words
I need to say

Ellen
You're so beautiful
Oh Ellen
You're so beautiful

Every minute is an hour
Every hour is a day
And everyday is a lifetime
That slowly fades away
Time is moving on

I'm unprepared to say goodbye
So unprepared I'm left to question why
You had to leave me in this way
Forever in my heart you'll always stay
You'll always stay

Ellen
You're so beautiful
Oh Ellen
You're so beautiful
Ellen
You're so beautiful
Oh Ellen
Your soul is beautiful

I'm unprepared to say goodbye
I'm unprepared for you to close your eyes
I know I'll feel it every day
The love you gave in
All your special ways

Ellen
You're so beautiful
Oh Ellen
You are so beautiful

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!"
