🎧 Ethan's A Voice Walking Forward — 3 Songs of Letting Go, Falling in Love & Finding Home

🎧 Three songs. One voice walking forward — from a goodbye written for someone else's sake, to the trembling hope of a first date, to the quiet promise of building a life together. Ethan Jackson is a solitary traveling vocalist in his early 50s who walks alone through quiet, wide-open places, carrying nothing but his voice. 📀 TRACKLIST 00:00 Intro 00:19 Somewhere Brand New (Blues Rock · A minor) 04:47 To the Edge of the Earth (Blues Rock · A minor) 08:45 Same Direction (Soulful Roots Rock · Upbeat Groove · E major) 🎵 Lyrics — 1. Somewhere Brand New — I'm packing up this life into one small case Leaving before the morning shows my face I know you'll read this and you'll want to scream Call me a coward, call me a broken dream But I'm not the man who deserves to stay I'm the reason your bright light dims each day I'm changing cities, changing my own name Letting you walk free from all of my blame This number's dead the moment that I'm gone So you can finally build your life alone Oh, my love, hate me if you need to now Curse my name, I'll wear it anyhow But one day down a long and open road You'll understand I lifted up your load I left so your whole future could be bright This wasn't giving up, this was doing right No address left, no trail for you to chase Just an empty room and a bit of open space I couldn't be the man to keep you whole So I'm setting free the half I couldn't hold Oh, my love, hate me if you need to now Curse my name, I'll wear it anyhow But one day down a long and open road You'll understand I lifted up your load I left so your whole future could be bright This wasn't giving up, this was doing right Go live the life I couldn't give to you... Somewhere brand new... — 2. To the Edge of the Earth — I've been checking my reflection all day long Practicing the words to get this right Tonight might be the night I've waited for Or the night I lose my nerve and hide I picked the corner table, dim and low Where the candlelight can catch your eyes My hands won't stop this shaking in my chest Wondering if you'll say the words I need If I finally tell you what I feel Will you take this heart or let it leave? Oh, tonight I'm laying everything on the line Every plan, every hope, every quiet sign I booked the best seat where the lights are low So I could finally let you know If you take my hand across that candlelit space I'll walk to the edge of the earth for your grace I chose the wine, I chose the perfect song Everything's ready but the words won't come My heart's been rehearsing this all week long Praying that tonight I won't run Oh, tonight I'm laying everything on the line Every plan, every hope, every quiet sign I booked the best seat where the lights are low So I could finally let you know If you take my hand across that candlelit space I'll walk to the edge of the earth for your grace Tonight's the night I hope you say yes... To the edge of the earth and back... — 3. Same Direction — A brand new city, and I hit the ground running Didn't know a soul, didn't know where I was going Then there you were, laughing in the light Turned my whole world upside down that night Funny how the odds all lined up right Like this city knew exactly what I liked I never thought I'd find a reason here To plant my feet and shake off all my fear But every street I walked led straight to you Now every ordinary day feels brand new Oh, we're looking in the same direction now Building up a future, and I don't know how But whatever storms come rolling through I've got all the courage 'cause I've got you Same direction, running side by side Nothing gonna shake this feeling, nothing gonna hide You took a chance and let a stranger in Now every morning's where the good things begin Coffee and laughter, the whole world feels light And I don't dream of leaving, not for anything tonight Oh, we're looking in the same direction now Building up a future, and I don't know how But whatever storms come rolling through I've got all the courage 'cause I've got you Same direction, running side by side Nothing gonna shake this feeling, nothing gonna hide Same direction, side by side... Whatever comes, we'll run right through it... ⚠️ Original songs, written and composed by Ethan.
