Many thanks to all who attended the Belcourt show on Nov 18! No doubt it will be an event that will stay warmly in my memory for a long time to come. I am honestly grateful for the heart with which many of you entered into that small room. Though at times I felt as if I were walking about with my hospital gown open at the back, you were kind to laugh with me!

Special thanks to Amy Courts, Tony Lucido, Jeremy Lutito, Paul Moak and Nathan Dugger for working extra hard on short notice…I am truly humbled to share the stage with their big beautiful hearts!

Anyway, I’m glad you are all showing up in your various forms; avatars, seat warmers and general digital correspondence…my how things have changed!

Some general boring news…
Yes…I realize that you would all prefer facebook…well, let’s just say that the general impostors throughout the years have taken their toll and I am having to jump through some hoops to prove that I am actually the legit form of the singing Kansan. It will take some time.
We’re continuing behind the scenes construction for a more fluid jenniferknpdev.wpenginepowered.com as well. As per usual, those who hang here & on twitter or join the email list at jenniferknapp.com will be the first to know of any updates.

One of the songs we tracked in the studio today is called ‘On Love’.   Since you can’t hear it yet, I thought you might like to have a sneak peak at the lyrics.

I’ve held onto this one for quite some time. I wrote it while I was writing for The Way I Am record, but we didn’t end up putting it on the record. It’s a bold move for me, as I am still quite intimidated by the song itself. I’ve written it into many set lists, but always bailed at the last minute, skipping over it. But I have wept too many times while playing it home alone to chicken out now. It is time to let her fly…

Anyway, the lyrics:

On Love

Hey love, isn’t that enough running away?
Stay…
I have waited long, but never given up I have waited on you but never, never on love…

Take my hand, feel the sand slipping away…
And you remain
I have waited long, but never given up
I have waited on you but never, never on love…

So cling to me and I will be forever
I will heal and you will feel much better, you’ll feel much better…

I have waited long, but never given up
I have waited on you but never, never on love…

Heading back into the studio this week & I am super excited!

The process of sharing the new tunes with other musicians & their own special contributions to the making of a record, never ceases to astound me. Up to this point, I’ve usually kept most of the music close to my own heart, playing them alone at home without the worries of the vulnerabilities that occur upon the sharing of them.

Now comes the time when others are invited in. The challenges of sharing songs crafted in quiet selfish places to enter the light of day and are released like leaves in the wind, to become what they were meant to be to others.

It is scary and at the same time, exhilarating! I wonder what will happen?…
