LYRICS

I stopped the thinking
To let my heart show

My inner being 
I let it breath now 
And lean into

Our empathy it will guide us properly 
So I keep my head up 
Someday you will look back and see 
That it don’t matter no no 
That it don’t matter
Where you come from 
Only where you’ll go

Why do I keep falling
When moving steady towards my calling 
Opened myself up to the world 

I wonder what mark I will be leaving 
The wonder of love loves to give life meaning 
Just lean into

Our empathy it will guide us properly 
So keep your head up 
Someday you will look back and see 
That it don’t matter no no
That it don’t matter
Where you come from 
Only where you’ll go

Why do I keep falling
When moving steady towards my calling 
Opened myself up to the world 
Opened myself up to the world 
So why do I keep falling

Falling taught me 
Every moment is a moment for courage 
My father taught me 
Every moment is a moment for courage 

Why do I keep falling
When moving steady towards my calling 
Opened myself up to the world 
So why do I keep falling
Opened myself up to the world 
When moving steady towards my calling 
Opened yourself up to the world
Opened yourself up to the world 
How do I keep falling 

I wonder what mark I will be leaving 



Much love Xx J&J

These Days

Get Out

A powerful, heartfelt ballad rooted in folk storytelling and punk grit, Beneath It All A Fire Burns There Still channels the quiet rage and resilience of working-class lives. With stripped-back acoustic instrumentation and weathered, emotionally raw vocals, the song captures the ghost of lost industry and the enduring spark of defiance.

Lewis Stevenson blends social realism with poetic flair, evoking comparisons to Billy Bragg and early Springsteen. A lament for a disappearing way of life, and a rallying cry to remember what still smoulders beneath the ashes.
