Hard To Please

There was a time when nothing stayed 
When every dream began to fade 
I held the past with shaking hands 
Afraid to lose what time demands 
I’d walk the waves throughout the night 
Just for a chance to hold you tight 
I’d cross the oceans  brave the sea 
I’d walk the waves if you’d believe in me 

I’d walk the waves and rise above 
All for the fire of your love 
I’d split the storm  I’d chase the tide 
Just to be forever by your side 
I’d cross the dark  I’d never flee 
I’d walk the waves if you’d believe in me 

There came a time my faith grew thin 
A quiet war I fought within 
Anger ruled what hope had left 
My heart was hollow  cold  bereft 
But you  my shepherd in the night 
My compass point  my faintest light 
You took the reins  you soothed the ache 
You touched my soul and made it wake 

I’d walk the waves and rise above 
All for the fire of your love 
I’d split the storm  I’d chase the tide 
Just to be forever by your side 
I’d cross the dark  I’d never flee 
I’d walk the waves if you’d believe in me 

Why do you still hide from grace 
A shadow cast across your face?
If you could feel this love somehow 
You’d know what carries me right now 

I’d walk the waves and rise above 
All for the fire of your love 
I’d split the storm  I’d chase the tide 
Just to be forever by your side 
No wave too high  no raging sea 
I’d walk the waves if you’d believe in me

Walk on Waves

The debut album, I Live In Patterns, out now
glassnote.ffm.to/taylorjanzen-iliveinpatterns 

“The powerful simplicity of a voice, a guitar, a restrained melody and a raw emotion has been rediscovered by songwriters like Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and now Taylor Janzen.” - The New York Times

 The Winnipeg artist returns with new single “What I Do…” out via Glassnote Records. The song was produced by Luke Niccoli (Miya Folick, Joji), mixed by Neal Avron (Brandi Carlile, Bleachers, Twenty One Pilots ), and mastered by Joe LaPorta (Of Monsters and Men, Leon Bridges).

“’What I Do…’ is a song I wrote about being in a serious relationship and suddenly realizing that your issues are affecting someone else for the first time, and not entirely knowing how to change that. Musically, it’s a bit of a departure for me. I wrote it on an acoustic guitar in my bedroom, but when we got around to producing it, it seemed to take on a life of it’s own." says Janzen.

With further praise from Noisey, NPR, Paste, i-D, and The New York Times, Taylor kicked off the year as an Official Artist at SXSW where she was asked to perform at Rolling Stone's Emerging Artist Showcase.

Growing up, Taylor wasn't encouraged to speak through her feelings, so turned to songwriting as an outlet. As a result, with each song we're granted an intimate and almost painstakingly brazen glimpse into the most heart wrenching pages of her diary.  She writes candidly, touching on the topics of mental health and emotional abuse, noting that, “the music that I write is very honest, so it speaks for itself.”
