Δύο tracks από το 5ο, breakthrough album της alt – country / Americana singer-songwriter απ’ το Τέξας. Το Time Ain’t Accidental κυκλοφόρησε το 2023 και φωτογραφίζει την Jess Williamson ως αντιπροσωπευτική περίπτωση καλλιτέχνη που η αγάπη του/της για την παράδοση δεν αποτελεί εμπόδιο στον εμπλουτισμό της με (ηχητικά κυρίως) στοιχεία από άλλες φόρμες. Υπό την αιγίδα, αυτό, μιας τραγουδοποιίας στιβαρής μέσα από την ευαισθησία της. 📀 📀 📀 Two tracks from the fifth—and breakthrough—album by this alt-country / Americana singer-songwriter from Texas. Released in 2023, Time Ain’t Accidental presents Jess Williamson as a prime example of an artist whose love for tradition is no obstacle to enriching it with elements—primarily sonic—drawn from other musical forms; This, under the aegis of a songwriting craft robust by virtue of its own sensitivity.

SOMETHING’S IN THE WAY
What happened to your heart a year ago?
What’s trapped in your body, what’s choking your soul?
I tried in my way, but it’s out of control and invisible
And you’re on your own now
I was so excited for New Mexico
I know them highways, call ’em holy roads
And I’m singing along to “Brand New Companion”
I’m gonna do it right this time
Something’s in the way
Something’s in the way
I’m not a good woman if I leave or if I stay
You give and then you take
You give and then you take
It’s all brand new, a man like you knows how to make me wait
Something’s in the way
What happened to your heart a year ago?
It’s trapped in your body, babe, it’s choking your soul
Once again, I’m offering a radical kind of love
And it’s just the wrong time
Something’s in the way
Something’s in the way
I’m not a good woman if I leave or if I stay
You give and then you take
You give and then you take
It’s all brand new, a man like you knows how to make me wait
Something’s in the way
Something’s in the way
Something’s in the way
Something’s in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
In the way

HUNTER
I’ve been thrown to the wolves and they ate me raw
Worked both sides at the Shangri-la
Thrown back a few more and I mopped up the floors
It’s a life of delusion and love is the cure
Remember when it was for fun and for free
All of my visions, they danced around me
When you’re young, you’ll live through hell for the dream
But hell is a real place
I want a mirror, not a piece of glass
We went a hundred down the highway
I’ve been known to move a little fast
I’m a hunter for the real thing
My love is pure as the universe
Honest as an ashtray
Baby, it’s fine, I’da blown your mind
But I guess I’m gonna give you space
Beautiful people, eternally young
City of Angels get stuck in your lungs
So I don’t check the weather in Texas no more
I just close my eyes
When you walk as a woman who’s only known love
It’s easy to miss the signs
You bow down to me like I was sent from above
But who’s in your bed tonight?
I want a mirror, not a piece of glass
We went a hundred down the highway
I’ve been known to move a little fast
I’m a hunter for the real thing
My love is pure as the universe
Honest as an ashtray
Baby, it’s fine, I’da blown your mind
But I guess I’m gonna give you space
I want a mirror, not a piece of glass
We went a hundred down the highway
I’ve been known to move a little fast
I’m a hunter for the real thing
My love is pure as the universe
Honest as an ashtray
Baby, it’s fine, I’da blown your mind
But I guess I’m gonna give you space
Baby, it’s fine, I’da blown your mind
But I guess I’m gonna give you space
