Jake Morley – I Hope That I Can Make It
Jake Morley - IHTICMIBWHAB
Before We Have A Baby
Release Date: Out Now
If you are of an artistic bent
and are engaged in a serious relationship and/or have children, then this song
will resonate with you. Jake Morley is mid-way through a tour of the UK so it
is tactically astute to drop another teaser track from his new arsenal of songs
so here comes ‘I Hope That I Can Make It Before We Have A Baby’. As always with
Morley, the lyrics and observations are razor sharp with lines like “Another
white guy needs attention for his feelings, as if we’d ever need another one of
those” and “There’s always stacking shelves in Sainsbury’s, Oh I hope that I
can make it before we have a baby”. What is more unusual is the country tones
that imbue this track with a sense of pre-loss and having the weight of the world
(or at least a big decision) resting on one’s shoulders. It might not sound
like a fun-time based on this review, but I’d urge you out to see Mr Morley on
this tour if for no other reason than to just give him some money to help with
the decision-making process.
