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
Mastered by Slade Templeman at Influx Studios (SWI)

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

Ran and hosted by Brighton singer-songwriter Jacko Hooper, Folklore Sessions is all about highlighting the very best music from across the country in an intimate environment for music lovers and artists alike.
Not to be restricted by genre, Folklore has hosted bands and solo artists from rock, electronica, folk, soul and more. What ties them together is the calibre of song writing and the stripped back performances to highlight the core of their songs and the honesty within the lyrics they scribe. 
Once a month a showcase of the most recent finds is had at the home of Folklore, The White Rabbit in Brighton.

Having hosted nearly 100 different acts at the monthly sessions, as well as stages at Together The People Festival and Brighton Fringe respectively, the time has come to start releasing records of some of Folklore’s discoveries since launch back in September 2014.

Limited to just 250 copies worldwide, each record comes with reversible gatefold sleeves, inserts and one inch badges designed by the artists involved. The series of Folklore vinyl’s will culminate in late 2018 with a series comprehensive compilation, bringing together all five volumes into one deluxe package.

George Ogilvie – Out of Harm’s Way
We see George Ogilvie return with a song for Folklore that shows the depth to his songwriting abilities. With more emphasis on his vocals than ever before you see George take charge of proceedings with his signature smooth vocal from the start, building into an emotionally charged crescendo that hits you in all the right places. A brilliant and enchanting track that that leaves you well and truly under his spell.

Oktoba – Chance
Nobody can get a heartfelt message across quite like Chris Athorne, AKA Oktoba. Moving away from some of his more Americana influences to create something brooding and yet elegant. The combination of Oktoba’s lyrics and producer Ben Townsend’s production is particularly pleasing and gives us a different look into the creative workings of one of the UKs finest story tellers.

Bess Atwell - Pearl
Bess brings things back to more of her roots for this folk driven track complete with harmonica. There’s no need for elaborative production or an army of musicians, the joy of Bess’ work is how she translates emotions and melody so effortlessly, another timeless song from one of the countries most exciting up and coming songwriters.

Jacko Hooper – All I Deserve, Is Not You
The man behind Folklore brings a song of self-doubt, worry and internal debates. Not one to shy away from expressing honest, powerful and at times painful emotions through his music, Jacko turns this song from an intimate and lonely ballad into something far more powerful and substantial with the echoes of trumpets and synthesized melody lines intertwining with his vocals to end Folklore volume 1 in a dramatic and unforgiving manner

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
To 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

Where will we go?
Where will we go? I don't know
The less I know,
The more I show
That my thoughts are cold

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

Jacko Hooper - Sidelines (Live Studio Session)

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.

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

Sidelines

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.
