►  Listen to "People Move On" and pre-order Jess's new album CARE/TAKING https://tenderlovingempire.com/produc...

Propelled by the relentless forward motion of a defiantly-strummed electric guitar, “People Move On” does indeed move: always further towards its destination of exultant, off-kilter pop-rock. But rather than a straight guitar-rock song, Jess Cornelius’s take on the genre is characteristically unpredictable — buoyed by frenetic piano stabs, layers of tightly dramatic vocal harmonies, alto saxophone, a sing-along-in-in-the-car chorus, and an unusual, ever-evolving song structure that freewheels into a lush acapella breakdown. Co-produced with Mikal Cronin and recorded at Ty’ Segall’s Harmonizer studios in Topanga Canyon, “People Move On” is the first single off Jess Cornelius’s ambitious new album, CARE/TAKING.

Lyrics:
I used to be a different person
Go out in the evening
Had a lot to say
But all of that is changed
I gave away
Pieces of my body
And my brain
I’ll get it back some day
 
I used to think that I was different
Something in the movement
In my mind
But I was far from right
I was just the same
Full of hope and promise
Never coming true
I wanted more from you
 
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause people are always forgetting the words to their song
And people move on
People move on
 
Please don’t tell me what you’re thinking
I don’t need to know it
You’ve said too much
That cannot be unheard
Now it’s a worm
Planted in my shadow
Growing by the day
I wish it didn’t work that way
 
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause both of us have forgotten the words to our song
And people move on
People move on
 
And this, this is for my girl
It’s about her daddy
He is a good man
I loved him all I can
But love is a strange thing
For you it’s never waning
You are the big light.

Who Dunnit?
