Jasmine Thompson | Jasmine Thompson - No Poetry (Live in Liverpool) @TantrumJas | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 9 minutes ago
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
