Jessica Pratt - 'This Time Around' (Official Video)

*Jessica Pratt - “This Time Around”*
From the album Quiet Signs, out via Mexican Summer/City Slang

*Lyrics:*
This time around has it gone so grey that my faith can't hold out?
Haven't you heard there's a somber wind gets my head away now
Hallowed be thy name, had you come to claim it?
All upon her face were the lost and strange years

I don't wanna try no longer, your songbird singing the darkest hour of the night
I don't wanna find that I've been marching under the crueler side of the fight
It makes me want to cry

Well I won't tell, the halfway blues hang on
Sure enough a sorry angel
Hurrying a song on her way

People who have discovered this song are very lucky! And I'm one of them!
This song is a hidden gem ♥️
Everyone should hear this beautiful song

[chop]

This song is so unbelievably beautiful that I break out in chills. The tasteful simplicity of it, her soft, cooing vocals, the intoxicating sense of wistfulness... It literally moves me to tears, though I don't fully understand why.

Music has such a mysterious, alchemical power. It has always been and always will be one of the great obsessions of my life.

Thank you for this, Jessica. Thank you so much.

[zbyszekfilipiak]

I did not expect such music to be possible nowadays. I am in love.

[maxwellsamuel]

I own all of her records and am patiently waiting for the new project. I love me some Jessica Pratt

Lyrics:
This time around
Has it gone so gray that my faith can't hold out?
Haven't you heard
There's a somber wind gets my head away now?
Hallowed be thy name, had you come to claim it?
Too hard, too hard, ahh
All upon her face were the lost and strange years
Too hard, too hard, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh

I don't wanna try no longer
Your songbird singing the darkest hour of the night
I don't wanna find that I've been in marching
Under the crueler side of the fight
It makes me want to cry
Well, I won't tell, the halfway blues hang on
Sure enough a sorry angel
Hurrying a song on her way

This time around
Has it gone so gray that my faith can't hold out?
Haven't you heard
There's a somber wind gets my head away now?
Hallowed be thy name, had you come to claim it?
Too hard, too hard, ahh
All upon her face were the lost and strange years
Too hard, too hard, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh


I don't wanna try no longer
Your songbird singing the darkest hour of the night
I don't wanna find that I've been in marching
Under the crueler side of the fight
It makes me want to cry
Well, I won't tell, the halfway blues hang on
Sure enough a sorry angel
Hurrying a song on her way

i listened to this before passing an entrance exam to a university, we took the road, it was 6 in the morning, the sun was rising and i had hopes. i am thankful

[omegapryo]

I don't know if this makes sense, but I want this song played at my funeral

[Freeify]

God this is special. This is as personal as it can be. Therapy for the soul. 10/10

[brownjenkin]

As a nihilist...listening to this song shakes my belief. Is this magic? Hope? I'm so confused, but happy at the same time.

[Emily-kxjm]

I don't really know how to describe what I feel when I listen to this song, but I absolutely love it. It's so unique and sort of makes me think about my life and just reminisce, specifically about summer for whatever reason.

[cucaracha]

You've come when i most needed. It's beautiful

[Thea_the_aries]

This song makes me miss lovers I never had...

[Jessicaprattfan]

I want to strive to be a better person

[gvonniai]

sometimes i wonder what jessica would sound like if she expanded her instrumentation and made something a little more 'grand', but then i hear songs like this and i'm convinced that she can keep doing what she's doing. i mean, she's got a pretty strong songwriting, she always comes up with these beautiful melodies and honestly that's more than enough. she's very good at creating these intimate, nostalgic moments, and in order to do this you really don't need anything more than a guitar, a voice, and a great sensibility. great track as always jessica, i've been waiting for this album for so long and i'm so happy that it's finally coming

[rorschachgarden]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[lucascranach]

Your not from this world and its a very good thing. Your music is an escape from violent time.

[laurecrown]

Sweet twin flame, if you ever see this, please know my heart has never changed.

[laurentpluys]

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything". PLATON... merci

[NazoSislian]

With just some sparse instrumentation and her unique voice, Jessica Pratt can create songs that soundtrack big parts of my life. 😍

So sublime & perfect - the combination of the visual & the tunes. Especially the sunlight behind trees. Otherworldly, deep, warm, lovely ... So good it makes me cry. Pure art.
