Stay With Me (Jacob's Song)

from in from the dark by Haley K Turner

/

about

Of all the songs on the album "Stay With Me (Jacob’s Song)" holds a special place in my heart. It is dedicated to someone I loved dearly who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 8. It was the hardest song to record on the album because its essence is out of my control. I don’t think it will ever be good enough in my eyes, but I sure tried.

I know that talking about people who are no longer here often brings pain and sadness to the surface. It was my hope to make a song that created space to honour and reflect and remember.

lyrics

There’s a part of my heart I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you safe a sound
I swear I can still feel you near
But you’ve been gone longer than you were here

Stay
Stay with me
Let me feel you in the summer breeze

Stay
Stay with me
Shiver through my veins on a winters eve

And I
I believe
As painful as it is
We were meant to meet
But Ohhhhh
Heaven only knows
Why I had to stay
And you had to go

Do you ever dream with your eyes open wide
Do ghosts grow old as the time goes by
And in your glory in your light
Not a day I don’t think of you has gone by

Stay
Stay with me
Let me feel you in the summer breeze

Stay
Stay with me
Colour my world as the fall leaves change

And I
I believe
As painful as it is
We were meant to meet.
But Ohhhhh
Heaven only knows
Why I had to stay
And you had to go


I long for one more minute than we had
A craving for your soul to take my hand
And when the nights and days
Feel to much the bear
I will close my eyes and feel you there

There’s a part of my heart
That I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you
Safe a sound

There’s a part of my heart I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you safe a sound

"At a time where a physical embrace is at a premium and people globally are struggling to stay connected to one another, in from the dark is the record to bridge the void."

“Turner has a rich, gentle colour to her voice, fitting for the indie folk/ pop genre she calls home. It’s warm and thoughtful, apologetic and honest.”
