IF YOU JUST BELIEVE

Performed by Keren Gaiser
Written by Keren Gaiser and Jack Trudel

Some people need to swim in oceans of diamonds to feel satisfied
Some only need a simple job to fill their hearts with a sense of pride
Some go the distance to find themselves and recapture their youth
And some always search for but never seem to find the truth

Some people hear laughter of a child and the joy that it can bring
Some will never give themselves any joy even if they have everything
Some wake up without a reason to live in spite of all they’ve got
And some are content with just a little but give others a lot

If you give one smile to show that you really care
If you always be true to yourself
Listen from inside to a voice that will say
There’s no point in being someone else
If you open your heart to the world
Give others from what you receive
The road ahead will be filled with the promise
Of all that you hope to achieve
If you just believe

Some people run in circles and spend a lifetime dwelling on their past
Some always live in the moment and never know if their luck will last
Some close their eyes for a second and when they open, all the hurt is gone
And some never had love in their lives but their souls are gentle and strong

If you give one smile to show that you really care
If you always be true to yourself
Listen from inside to a voice that will say
There’s no point in being someone else
If you open your heart to the world
Give others from what you receive
The road ahead will be filled with the promise
Of all that you hope to achieve
If you just believe

Take your time but never stop searching
For your place in this world
Life can sometimes throw you a curve
On a dark night, you might lose your hope
Believe and your road will unfold

If you give one smile to show that you really care
If you always be true to yourself
Listen from inside to a voice that will say
There’s no point in being someone else
If you open your heart to the world
Give others from what you receive
The road ahead will be filled with the promise
Of all that you hope to achieve
If you just believe
If you just believe

If You Just Believe (feat. Keren Gaiser)

SLEEP WITH YOU

Performed by Keren Gaiser
Words and Music by Jack Trudel

I wanna sleep with you forever
You always wanna be together
We will never be apart
If we share one heart

I wanna kiss your lips
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna be with you through the night
I wanna see you smile
I wanna feel your touch
I wanna share all my love so much

Maybe I should watch what I say
Or maybe it’s better this way

I wanna sleep with you forever
You always wanna be together
We will never be apart
If we share one heart

I wanna take your hand
I wanna touch your face
I wanna wake up in your embrace
I wanna feel you breathe
I wanna hear you sigh
I wanna see the love in your eyes

Maybe I should watch what I say
Or maybe it’s better this way

I wanna sleep with you forever
You always wanna be together
We will never be apart
If we share one heart

I wanna dry your tears and calm your fears
And whisper sweet nothings into your ear

I wanna sleep with you forever
You always wanna be together
We will never be apart
If we share one heart

I wanna sleep with you forever
You always wanna be together
We will never be apart
If we share one heart

Sleep with you forever

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

Performed by Keren Gaiser
Words and Music by Jack Trudel

You ask me why I love you
And I’m somewhat caught off guard
The question may seem easy
But the answer can be hard

I’ll always be true
Each and every day
But just so you know
Let me count the ways

It’s your eyes, your lips
Your voice, your kiss
It’s your heart, your smile
Your touch, your style
I love everything about you
I do

Sometimes those three little words
Leaves my tongue tied up in knots
Although I trust my feelings
I’m still trapped within my thoughts

I’ll always love you
More than words can say
But just so you know (just so you know)
Let me count the ways

It’s your eyes, your lips
Your voice, your kiss
It’s your heart, your smile
Your touch, your style
I love everything about you
I do

So many times
My heart has been misled
It seemed so right and yet so wrong
So many times
My thoughts were left unsaid
But that changed when you came along

It’s your laugh, your tears
Your mind, your fears
It’s your heart, your smile
Your touch, your style
I love everything about you
Everything about you
Everything about you
I do
I do

Everything About You (feat. Keren Gaiser)

INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN

Performed by Keren Gaiser
Words and Music by Jack Trudel

I was living with chains and locks
Never thinking outside the box
Or looking at the other side
I watched as my life unraveled
Then I took the road less traveled
And learned to swim against the tide

As long as you’re getting where you’re going
Sometimes it’s even better not knowing
Until you find where you belong

I’m heading out into the great unknown
I’m moving on beyond my comfort zone
And I don’t care if I’m all alone
As long as I’m somewhere out there on my own
Into the great unknown

I was living for someone else
Instead of just being myself
As if I almost sold my soul
I looked in the rear view mirror
And the future appeared clearer
When I finally took control

All it takes is a little persistence
To weather the storm and go the distance
Until you find where you belong

I’m heading out into the great unknown
I’m moving on beyond my comfort zone
And I don’t care if I’m all alone
As long as I’m somewhere out there on my own
Into the great unknown

So just follow a path of your choosing
No matter if you’re winning or losing
Until you find where you belong

I’m heading out into the great unknown
I’m moving on beyond my comfort zone
And I don’t care if I’m all alone
As long as I’m somewhere out there on my own
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown

BROKEN

Performed by Keren Gaiser
Words and Music by Jack Trudel

I bared my soul for you to see
But you wanted more from me
You left me empty deep inside
Like a part of me has died

If you just got too afraid
Why do I feel so betrayed

I’m broken and torn in two
But I don’t want to blame you
I’m broken and torn apart
‘Cause I can’t unbreak this heart

You never let your feelings show
Or bothered to let me know
So I was fooled by your disguise
And seduced with subtle lies

If your heart was always closed
Why do I feel so exposed

I’m broken and torn in two
But I don’t want to blame you
I’m broken and torn apart
‘Cause I can’t unbreak this heart

It’s so hard to forgive
But harder to forget
The hurt that I still feel
And it’s so hard to live
With the pain and regret
From wounds that just won’t heal

I’m broken and torn in two
But I don’t want to blame you
I’m broken and torn apart
‘Cause I can’t unbreak this heart

I’m broken
I’m broken and torn apart
‘Cause I can’t unbreak this heart

I bared my soul for you to see
But you wanted more from me

Hard Luck Heart

Jack Trudel is a Nashville-based songwriter and musician. A recent transplant from San Francisco, Jack is also a music producer and publisher. He has not only arranged and co-produced songs for indie artists and labels but secured co-publishing and licensing deals both in the United States and abroad.

To date, Jack has written over 250 songs, with emphasis on pop, rock, and country. Over 200 artists across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America have recorded his songs. These artists include Anita Prime, Toby Humstad, Makenzie Phipps, Keren Gaiser, Jason Phillips Band, and P.J. Bennett.

Jack’s Tracks have been performed in clubs and festivals, including SXSW. One song received radio airplay in 15 countries, while three were featured on a syndicated radio show in 21 countries. Another song appeared in the indie film “Killing Time” and earned recognition from Billboard’s World Songwriting Contest.

Born and raised on American Top 40, Jack started writing songs at age 13. His approach often begins with a title or phrase, which sets the mood, shapes the melody, and drives the lyrics. Many songs lean into subtle humor and wordplay—layered with irony, satire, and the occasional double entendre.

Blending a storyteller’s eye with a wordsmith’s touch, Jack’s Tracks include a diverse catalog of radio-ready songs, indie recordings, and unreleased material. While music and poetry are distinct art forms, Jack combines infectious melodies with poetic lyrics to connect with readers and listeners alike.
