“It has been 8 years since my last release, and hundreds of songs have been piling up,” says Jane Fallon about her new timely album, Sweet Resilience, her first since moving to Florida. “Having left the Boston area, I no longer had access to the great musical friends who had helped me make the last albums. Covid added another wrinkle, and when I started to think of another album, my priorities were simply to get the music out there. Selecting from my recent writing, I was drawn to songs that reflected the tenor or our times or the nostalgia of looking back at the memories and losses. Almost all of the songs fill that niche even though seven were prompted at The Crooked Thumb Brewery Open Mic in Safety Harbor, FL. I wanted to record so many new songs, that I decided the typical studio setting wasn’t going to work financially. So I sought out a collaboration on the website fiverr.com and came up with a winner. Nicky V is a consummate pro, and we formed an alliance. I hired a few other artists to fill in some aspects, but what came out was the simple and elegant music that I hope frames each song and its message. In addition, I learned to mix and master at home. A challenge, but rewarding, it also gave me a greater insight into my writing.”

Fallon has been called the “quintessential folk storyteller performer” whose smooth, rich voice, and well-written songs get noticed. She has eight albums and three  books to her credit and has won many songwriting awards including the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition, The American Songwriter Magazine Lyric Contest, the Will McLean, and the South Florida Folk Festival Competitions. Her songwriting has led her to the Clancy Brothers Festival in Ireland, the Port Gamble Festival in Washington, and places in-between. According to Christin Alynn Pitcock, director of the Songwriter Experience, "At the core of Jane's artistry lies her ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners. Each lyric is infused with a sense of honesty and vulnerability that is rare and refreshing… a vibrant tapestry, woven with love, passion, and a timeless sense of wonder.” She recently moved from the vibrant coffee house scene of New England to the more cover song oriented atmosphere of Florida but has been welcomed by the folk community, appearing on many festival lineups and radio shows.

While Im Dying Inside

Love moves like light on waves of water 
And it seems like we are addicts for each other 
Living from high to high 
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi...

As worlds are built and fall and rise
And crumble into smoke and mortar 
We're too busy being bliss to miss the law and order 
Living from high to high 
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi...

This could be delicate, life can be fragile 
Hopefully romantic beautifully magical 
This could be delicate, can be so fragile 
Hopefully romantic, beautifully, brutally, magical (2x) 

This could be 

(Chorus)

What Remains & Can't Be Taken

Somehow I thought the circle would get bigger, instead it’s getting smaller every day.
And the one thing that’s so hard for me to figure; do people really mean the things they say?
Here is what we know about the circle. No matter what, it never ends.
So how the hell can you ever break a circle? That’s the all-important question my friend.
Have we stopped to think about the consequences? Given thought to where it might all end?
Or is winning the only thing that really matters? We need time to let broken hearts mend.

We need time to clean the water and the air now.
Still a lot of fences left to mend.
We need time to repair the broken bridges.
We need time, and it’s time to take a stand.

If you truly split a circle in the middle, you’ll have two semi-circles every time.
But soon enough you’ll end up with two circles, neither one can ever see the other’s side.
That’s why, I think, we need some time for healing, to learn the art of compromise.
We need some time to stop and smell the roses. Up above the clouds are sunny skies.

We need time to clean the water and the air now.
Still a lot of fences left to mend.
We need time to repair the broken bridges.
We need time, and it’s time to take a stand.

We need lessons in civility & patience. Open conversations on our knees.
And we all need to stop thinking with our wallets.
We need compassion, we need laughter, we need peace.

Will the circle be unbroken? Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by. By and by.
