Lyrics:
I could never see
What it was you saw in me
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering

I would never be
What it was you thought i'd be
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering

I cannot see
Where I want to be
I'm not quite here
I know we will not align
We're getting no place fast this time.

Song written, recorded and performed by Jacko Hooper
Mixed by Josh Trinnaman

Jacko Hooper - For You

Release date: Monday 30th June 2014
Formats: Vinyl / Digital
Label: One Inch Badge
Management: alex@oneinchbadge.com / david@oneinchbadge.com
PR: terry@cannonballpr.com

Press Release:
'For You' is the debut official release from Brighton singer-songwriter Jacko Hooper. A year in the making For You pays homage to the insanely dedicated fan base that has followed Jacko through these early years, seeing he grow from a bedroom recording artist to gathering youtube views of over half a million and self-releasing CDRs in 500 runs (that sold out in 6 days!) and now this, his first official physical release, this…is…‘For You’.

Recorded off the back of an incredibly successful KickStarter campaign that achieved full pledge backing within only 50% of the timeframe, 'For You' was recorded over the space of eight weeks in Jacko’s hometown, Brighton. Produced by Paul Steel (Paul’s production and writing credits include Empire of the Sun, Mika, Saint Raymond, PNAU) 'For You' is Jacko’s richest and most realised work to date, balancing the intimacy and simplicity of Jacko’s bedroom odes to loves lost and found, coupling them with a new forceful energy, highlighting the maturing songwriting of Jacko’s newer material whilst still maintaining the honest approach that his music’s loved for.

The record itself covers two primary topics, love and fear. As ever Jacko’s own brutally honest experiences form the forward drive throughout, however the true purpose of his music isn’t ever his own story but the new ones created from it.

“I don’t feel that the original story of why I wrote the song is necessarily the most important thing, I think the fact people can listen to it and all of a sudden it becomes this different story with a totally different meaning is the best thing of all, to be able to connect to it people need it to be their story, not mine”.

With 'For You' showcasing true emotion and honesty, Jacko hopes that more stories can be created from his very own.

Lyrics:

Never think of me as a commodity
'Cos i'm sure you've heard it all before
But i'm the one to show
A burning desire,
To get what you feel you're owed

And then we'll move higher,
If we get through,
Fire, 
This time will tell us enough

I'm holding on to,
What I can do,
I'm not sure if it's strong or wise
But what I do know
Is that I do show
The things I usually disguise
If you want to know
Then first you'll have to go

Then we'll move higher,
If we get through, fire
This time will tell us enough

And then we'll move higher,
If we get through, fire
This time will tell us enough

Time Will Tell Us Enough

Too Far To Sea (Live audio from video on youtube) Jacko Hooper

The Long Road is Track 3 from Jacko Hooper's EP 'Together We're Lost' which is out November 23rd.
Following a year of writing and taking a step back from performing live, Jacko
returns with an EP written and recorded from his bedroom with the help from life long friend and Producer, Josh Trinnaman (Whose mixing credits include Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, RY X and his own Brighton-based IDM/Jazz/Electronic outfit Luo). With a limited edition run of CDRs being made available via Jacko’s boutique record label and promotions company Folklore Sessions, there will, as always with Hooper’s releases’ be an
opportunity to not just stream the record digitally but get something much more personal which his devoted army of followers will enjoy once again.
Recorded off the back of Folklore Vol.1, a 4-track EP released with fellow musicians and friends Bess Atwell, George Ogilvie & Oktoba, Together We’re Lost tells a story of
personifying emotions and situations that Jacko has found himself in, especially over the last year. A constant inner dialogue between his fears, anxieties and ‘logical thinking’ soon turned into words and melody that found themselves needing to be expressed, sticking with what Hooper is most well known for - true emotion and honesty. The record covers two primary topics, loneliness and frustration. As ever Jacko’s own brutally honest experiences form the forward drive throughout, however the true purpose of his music isn’t ever his own story but the new ones created from it. “I don’t feel that the original story of why I wrote the song is necessarily the most important thing, I think the fact people can listen to it and all of a sudden it becomes a different story with a totally different meaning is the best thing of all, to be able to connect to it people need it to be their story, not mine”.
With Together We’re Lost showcasing true emotion and honesty, Jacko Hopes that more stories are created for his very own.

Together We're Lost

The Long Road

Lyrics:

Maybe it's a question of, what's right and what's wrong 
Tired now waiting, for the answer to come along 
Maybe it's a question of what's letting me down 
Through myself, 
But darling i'm struggling on 

You're so excited, you think you'll cry 
I'm so daunted i'll lie here now all night, my love 
Trying to remember my way back home 

When will we go? 
I don't know 
The less I know, the more I show 
That my thoughts, 
Are cold 

It's rushing out, it's colder than ice, 
It's all in my head, it's all in my head 
Cells flowing through, adrenaline too 
It's all in my head, It's all of my 
Gods are fearing for what's now around me

Togethere Were Lost

Trust In Me Always

Tell me anything, to help me sleep
I'm held up, once again
Thinking how it's all on me
Tell me, 
We aint gunna die
We're ok in this silence

So hold on, my love
This is all a mess
It's all a mess
But i'm sure, i'm yours

Hold on, my love
This is all i've been waiting for
But i'm sure, i'm yours

Tell me anything,
To make me see
There's more than less of me
In my mind
Showing now it's not enough
Tell me, 
We're supposed to cry
When we're lost in our madness

Hold on, my love
This is all a mess,
It's all a mess
But i'm sure, 
I'm yours

Hold on my love,
This is all i've been waiting for
But i'm sure 
I'm yours

I'm sure i'm yours.

I'm Yours

Lyrics:
Lately, I've been wondering
Why i'm here at all

I'm running out now,
What thought comes first?

I'm running out now,
The same old thoughts,
To curb or nurse

I will never,
Claim that i'm ever
Here, alone.

Why I'm Here At All

Lyrics:
Nothing feels normal, i've got no taste from the meds
Sick and turning sideways 
My guts and my thrown, i'm a mess

The world is so scary, I only live inside my head

The rest of me, see's eye to eye
But right now I can't beat it
Sitting through this sadness
Like i'm already defeated
I'm not sure this is who I am, but fuck it
It's the best that i've got now,
So for now I won't stop it 

Take a breath, it will pass
Said the one, who never knew
That this was the earth
This was still here

The world is so scary,
I'm only inside of my head
