Jackson

about

Having just returned from a 4-year stint in London, Fetherstone is planting her seeds back into the Sydney scene. A seasoned jazz vocalist and composer in Australia, Briana’s move to the UK in 2015 sparked a new musical adventure; electro/pop/folk project ‘Fetherstone’. Named after her 95-year-old artistic grandmother, Fetherstone was born in London and has seen Briana release a debut EP, 2 singles and she is now writing and producing the project’s second EP. Briana dove into the loop pedal / beats machine world while living in London and developed a solo show, which she's been performing in London, Sydney, Prague and Brno for 3 years.

"Jackson" was written on Briana's 3rd Christmas away from home, two weeks after her 3rd nephew was born. This song exposes a longing to be with family and how heartbreaking it can be to miss special events like new babies and Christmas pudding with family. Bri was facing a dilemma; if following your dreams leads you far away from the people you cherish, is it worth it? The single will be out a few days before Christmas and followed by an unplugged live video, recorded in London with long-time collaborator/vocalist/guitarist, Harriet Langley.

lyrics

Oh Jackson he came
It’s hard to believe you made him
Oh Jackson he’s named
He looks at the world through fresh eyes

How I long to get back home
It seems like I'm missing out on it all
Oh Jackson he’s just two weeks old
I promise I’ll be there soon.

My eyes have always followed my heart,
But now I’m not sure that I trust where they’re taking me

Cause the house is too quiet, and there’s too much pudding left
I miss fighting for that seat and laughing till my stomach’s weak
And I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas
No I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas

We’re talking of moving home
The sun and the seas are calling him
But something just won’t let go
It turns out I quite like the grey

In June it will be three years
And one day I’ll want a family too
Oh Jackson I have my fears
That maybe it’s just too soon

My eyes have always followed my heart
But now I’m not sure that I trust where they’re taking me

Cause the house is too quiet, and there’s too much pudding left
I miss fighting for that seat and laughing till my stomach’s weak
And I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas
No I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas

Cause the house is too quiet, and there’s too much pudding left
I miss fighting for that seat and laughing till my stomach’s weak
And I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas
No I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas
No I don’t know how to be alone on Christmas
