Jasmine Thompson - No Poetry (Live in Liverpool) with tags jasmin thompson, jasmine, no poetry, jasmine songs

After recording the demo in Liverpool it felt fitting to head back to the room where we wrote the song and perform a live version. @cleancutkid is literally my most played artist on spotify so writing with him and @SamSure, who's one of my closest friends and collaborators, was the perfect team to tackle such a difficult and emotional subject. This was such a cathartic experience with mike (@cleancutkid ) on guitar and sam behind the camera. I'm so happy to have this song out there for others to hear and I hope if anyone else has experienced loss it brings them some comfort. It feels really great to be singing again and i have big plans for this year, lots of new music! Thank you to everyone that has stayed with me and supported me through the most difficult time of life. x

Lyrics (on subtitles)

Jed said it best

Oh the sun will set

Only to rise again

I say it’s funny,

Though my eyes are wet

Somehow everything’s changed

But nothing I guess

The words escape me every time

No perfect line

No poetry in dying

In my grief, I’ll laugh as much as cry

While life without you starts

While life without you starts

Tonight

Maybe I’ll stand in an empty field

Walk till the day makes sense

Maybe I’ll see now the windows clean

That there’s nothing to fear

But fear itself

The words escape me every time

There’s no perfect line

Ain’t no poetry in dying

In my grief, I’ll laugh as much as cry

While life without you starts

While life without you starts

Tonight

And sad not beautiful

It’s flowers

At a funeral

And the words escape me every time

There’s no perfect line

No poetry in dying

In my dreams, I’ll laugh as much as cry

While life without you starts

Life without you starts

Tonight
