about

Internal Optimist Jacob Shipley descends into the pit for Brave New World, the latest release in his Quarantine Nudes series. Recorded and filmed live in an abandoned demolition site under the cover of night, this single is about finding solace and hope in the face of despair.

lyrics

For the first time I step in this room
I open the window and close the door
And I sit on the bed
I look around humming yesterday’s tune.
The sun from outside shines on my floor as I lay down my head

And it’s strange this taste and smell
I feel this Brave New World inside
I’m taking every last moment to heal
No longer trying to hide

And I’m wanting not for wanting
And I’m needing not for needing
And I’m hoping
I’m hoping
I’m hoping things are gonna be alright

This new day of yours is breaking me down
And putting me back together
Like it’s forever
I’m finding hearts in places I never thought could be found
My ear is hearing things that never used to make a sound

And it’s strange how all these faces still arrive
And even more how many of them stay
Instead of tears it’s just smiles around the eyes
Grasping their hands, I find my way

And I’m wanting not for wanting
And I’m needing not for needing
And I’m hoping
I’m hoping
I’m hoping things are gonna be alright

I hope they’re gonna be alright

Jacob Shipley New York, New York

Jacob Shipley writes, sings, and tells stories about the moments in life we’d rather not repeat. Some of his music is sorrowful, some sardonic and humorous, but all of it comes from a deeply personal place that is easy to connect with because we’ve all been there. Listening to Jacob is like reminiscing with an old friend: not everything was easy, but at least we made it through. ... more
