If you’ve ever met Jessica,
or if you follow her on social media you’ll know that she is a bundle of
positive energy, but behind the smiles there is a singer who has always worked
hard and takes nothing for granted. Go a
little deeper behind and you’ll see the struggles that she has had, including a
recent sinus problem resulting in an operation and a difficult recovery. She powers through this, just as she powered
through the medical issues that she and husband/guitarist Steve had with their
rescue dog Audrey. Jessica’s new song I
Never Said It’d Be Easy is about this kind of journey, the journey of
making the most of everything to create your own happy ending.
Whilst the track starts with
a powerful guitar solo, the vocal is quite calm, quite measured, setting the
scene for us – “soak it in, it’s a good day to be alive”, with lyrics alluding
to a song coming up that will help us feel better... then the chorus absolutely
kicks! Jessica takes it up several
notches
“I never said it’d be easy”
The contrast between the
gentle verse building up to the rocking chorus cleverly adds to the feel of the
struggle for that happy life, the struggle that many of us keep hidden.
Be in doubt, this song is
not a lament or a plea for sympathy.
This is a story of self-empowerment and personal fight. Its clearly personal, its clearly heartfelt –
and its clearly in the mould of Jessica’s previous hits such as Roadhouse and
Crazy Idea – and in fact this was co-written with the collaborators of Crazy
Idea!
Shaking off those struggles
as she always does, Jessica is carving out the happy life, along with her
family and band as she embarks on another extended tour of the US and Europe.
The final words about I
Never Said It’d Be Easy are from Jessica
A song about positivity and hope for a wonderful future is something I feel very proud to sing while I embark on one of my busiest years yet.
