The Young Ones 04:11
lyrics
[guitar] The young ones, darling we're the young ones And young ones shouldn't be afraid To live love While the flame is strong Cause we may not be the young ones very long Tomorrow, why wait till tomorrow Cause tomorrow sometimes never comes So Love me There's a song to be sung And the best time is to sing it while we're young Once in every lifetime Comes a love like this Oh I need you and you need me Oh my darling can't you see Young dreams should be dreamed together And young hearts shouldn't be afraid And some day When the years have flown Darling, then we'll teach the young ones of our own [guitar] Once in every lifetime Comes a love like this Oh I need you and you need me Oh my darling can't you see Young dreams should be dreamed together And young hearts shouldn't be afraid And some day While the years have flown Darling, then we'll teach the young ones of our own [guitar]

Every Breath You Take 02:51
lyrics
Every breath you take, every move you make Every bond you break, every step you take I've been watching you Every single day, every word you say Every game you play, every night you stay I've been watching you So can't you see you belong to me? But my poor heart aches in every step you take Every move you make, every vow you break Every smile you fake, every claim you stake I'll be watching you Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace I dream at night I can only see your face I look around but it's you I can't replace I feel so low and I'm cold for your embrace I just keep crying baby, baby please [guitar] Oh, can't you see you belong to me? How my poor heart aches with every breath you take Cause every move you make, every vow you break Every smile you fake, every claim you stake I'll be watching you Every move you make, every step you take I'll be watching you I'll be watching you I'll be watching you

Blue For You 03:35
lyrics
[guitar] When I get old and find the time I'll paint a picture about my life And I'll paint it blue for you, I'll paint it blue for you So you gave me love, a love so strong I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong Now I wanna show, I feel so low and blue for you When I was younger I tried so hard To find a good woman and give her my love I found a woman sweet as can be, I found a woman for me I didn't know I had the world I was still looking my ways to your love Now that I know, I feel so low and blue for you Cheatin' and lyin', I played around Livin' and lyin', you stood your ground Cheatin' and lyin', you knew so well There's not a denying, you knew it too well [guitar] When I'm alone I realise Your eye was smilin' but deep inside I saw the blue in you, everything blue for you You gave me love, a love so strong I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong Now I want to show, I feel so low and blue for you Feel so low and blue for you I feel so low and blue for you

Out Of Time 03:10
lyrics
You don't know what's going on You've been away for far too long You can't come back and think you are still mine The girl that wants to run away Discovers that she’s out of day It’s no good you’re thinking that you are still mine You're out of touch, my baby My poor discarded baby I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Well a-baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time You are all left out Out of there without a doubt Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time You thought you were a clever girl Giving up your social whirl But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no Cause you're obsolete my baby My poor old-fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time Well a-baby, baby, baby, you're out of time I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Yes, you are all left out Out of there without a doubt Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time... [guitar]

Downstream 04:25
lyrics
Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea It just felt so nice, you and me We didn't have a problem or a care, oh no And all around was silence, (silence!) everywhere Cause you are the reason I was born Be with you through all the seasons I'll always hear you when you call on And we'll keep the love light shining Through each night and day A lonely life behind me Oh what a change you've made So down here on the ocean We will stay, we will stay, we will stay Through a lot of changes We turned a lot of pages Then I took a boat Sunday I took a boat Sunday And to know you as I know you now That is all I need And we will get along somehow If we both believe And down here on the ocean We will stay, we will stay, we will stay Went through a lot of changes We turned a lot of pages Lord of time gate And I took a boat Sunday I took a boat Sunday I took a boat Sunday [guitar] To know you as I know you now That is all I need And we will get along somehow If we all believe So down here on the ocean We will stay, we will stay, we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages And I took a gold Sunday Took a boat Yes I took a boat Sunday I took a boat Took a boat...

Summertime 02:54
lyrics
It's Summertime And the living is easy You know the fish is jumpin' And the cotton is high Your daddy's rich And your mamma's good lookin' Won't you hush pretty baby Don't you cry One of these mornings You're gonna wake up singing Then you gonna spread your wings And you gonna take to the sky Until that morning There ain't nothing gonna harm you With your mommy and daddy They're standing by [guitar] It's Summertime And the living is easy The fish are jumpin' And the cotton is high Your daddy's rich And your mamma mamma's good lookin' Won't you hush pretty baby Don't you cry Just pretty baby, hush you pretty baby Don't you cry

Blowin' in the Wind 02:30
lyrics
How many roads must one walk down Before you can call him a man? Yes and how many seas must the white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

Sealed with a Kiss 03:29
lyrics
So we gotta say goodbye for the summer Baby I promise you this I'll send you all my love every day in a letter Sealed with a kiss Yes it's gonna be a cold, lonely summer But I'll feel the emptyness I'll send you all my dreams every day in a letter Sealed with a kiss I'll see you in the sunlight I'll hear your voice everywhere I'll run to tenderly hold you But baby, you won't be there I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer Knowing the loneliness So let us pick a pledge to meet in September And seal it with a kiss [guitar] Yes it's gonna be a cold lonely summer But I'll feel the emptyness I'll send you all my love every day in a letter Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss Sealed with a kiss

Yesterday 02:23
lyrics
Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh I believe in Yesterday Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh Yesterday came suddenly Why did she have to go? I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for Yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in Yesterday You gonna tell me why did she have to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for Yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need this place to hide away Oh I believe in Yesterday Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

You Better Move On 02:29
lyrics
If you ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love If you tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love? That's up to her, yes and the Lord above You better move on Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings But I believe she's happy with me without those things Still you beg me to set her free But my friend that will never be You better move on But I don't blame you for loving her But can't you understand, man, she's my girl But I, I never never ever gonna let her go 'Cause I, yeah, I love her so I think you better go now, I'm getting mighty mad Cause you ask me to give up the only love I've ever had Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on You better move on You better move on You better move on

I'll Be Your Mirror 03:09
lyrics
I'll be your mirror Reflects what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, this rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you [guitar] I'll find it hard believe you don't know The beauty you are But if you don't let me be your eyes A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind So please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I'll be your mirror I'll be your mirror I'll be your mirror Reflects what you are [guitar] I'll be your mirror Reflects what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home And when you think the night dies in your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind But please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I'll be your mirror ...

about

Wide Summer Ballads is a family album formed by popular rock ballads and sung with a lot of feeling, in those starry nights in the middle of nowhere in the mountain.
This is the 3rd release of "Takes in the Wild" collection, and like the others, the sound is completely ambiental and recorded using an old stereo tape recorder. You will not find quality sound in here, but you're gonna find reality, nature, improvisation and a lot of LOVE.

about

Jess Lake Vigo, Spain

I am a country singer born to be lonesome and damned in the world of music. This is where I store my homemade releases, and it is quite unlikely that somebody ever buys any of them because of the recordings' quality. I recommend "The Fistfighter" because of its semi-pro sound.
However, any of them were done from the depth of my soul. Don't expect a party, take care ;)
