Release Me

Used to think of love
Like a rubber band
When one half pulls away 
It snaps back again 
But I know that now
You are gone forever 
And assigned
To someone else’s arms

You held up my heart 
In a paper bag
Took a quick look in 
And set it down again
You’ve got a good life now
Living in a bright suburban house 
With your love so loud

Release me
Into the wild
Where I can find a new start 
Cause loving you is just too hard

Used to think of us 
Like a bird and wing
I loved to hold you up 
On a summer’s breeze
But I know that now
You are lost forever to the stars 
And someone else’s arms

Release me
Into the wild
Where I can find a new start
Cause loving you is just too hard

I’ll put the past
Where it belongs
So I can find a new start
Cause loving you is just too hard

Please don’t leave it up to me 
I will not up and go
Without you by my side
I think I’d rather die
I’d rather die
I’d rather die
I’d rather die

Release Me

Willing and Able

I'm holding you up like a little flame that burns whenever I think about
Our earliest days when we shut out the ones that caught us sleepwalking

It brings me back when I've gone too far
Seven years and a brand new start
When we thought there was nothing to it

And out in the dim light
I talk with your angel
And though it don't feel right
I'm willing and able
So give me indifference
Or come turn the tables
And though it's long over
I'm willing and able

I'm keeping you honest
In an empty bed you haven't seen in months
My tentative heart beats weary the pulse of a dead man walking

Clean me up I'm a sight to see
Can't bear the loss and let you leave
You act like there's nothing to it

And out in the dim light
I talk with your angel
And though it don't feel right
I'm willing and able
So give me indifference
Or come turn the tables
There's nothing worth saving but
I'm willing and able

My God it's a curious time
We're the products of our age
You just drift away

Willing and Able

Choose Your Weapon

Lost my love but I found my way
This was always meant for me
But I wonder with the lights off how to stand and bear

It burns like lightning baby I'm never coming back
To a home that's not our own
But I wonder with the lights off how to let you go

I'm never gonna fall in line
I'm never gonna waste my life
Starring in a role written for you but not for me

You let me down
Whether you go or you stick around

And I love you so
But it's time to go

Caught this curse at the start of my life
And it's only getting worse
I always seem to want the things that I can't have

So just choose your weapon baby don't hold back
I can take it on the chin
But I wonder with the lights off if you ever cared

I'm never gonna fall in line
I'm never gonna waste my life
Living in a house that's built for you but not for me

You let me down
Whether you go or you stick around

And I love you so
But it's time to go

Choose Your Weapon

Haunted Heart

In the night, though we're apart
There's a ghost of you within my haunted heart
Ghost of you, my lost romance
Lips that laugh, eyes that dance

Haunted heart won't let me be
Dreams repeat a sweet but lonely song to me
Dreams are dust, it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart
Be still my haunted heart

Dreams are dust, it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart
Be still my haunted heart

Haunted Heart

Again

Again (Piano Version)

Welcome to my heart.

It is here where I embrace the world and all of its magic and sorrow. It is here where I create my music. It is here where joy and sorrow live side by side waiting to be born into song.

My name is Jennifer Ball and I am a singer/songwriter. I have been writing and singing since I was a child. I have written music for other artists but have not been inspired to perform my own work. Until now.

A near death experience in 2022 has changed my mind; changed my purpose; changed my life. I am now opening up the inside me and laying it out for all of you. It is my hope that you will wail your heart out to some of the songs that resonate with you, while allowing others to speak with you in whispers and on intimate terms.

Growing up, my musical influences were icons that included Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. I love R&B, and music from the 50’s/60’s eras.

In my travels I have found that the world is filled with those who are looking for love, for understanding and for appreciation. I have taken on this challenge and hope to inspire you to always give love another chance, to see the beauty of this world despite the hatred and to know that you are not alone. Music will be our common ground.

My desire is for my music to inspire you, to hold your hand, to sit with you at a sunset and to accompany you into the shower where we are all stars. Let’s start this journey together and see what happens. After all, life is full of dreams just waiting to be sung.

Jennifer Ball
