► Listen to "People Move On" and pre-order Jess's new album CARE/TAKING tenderlovingempire.com/produc...
Co-produced with Mikal Cronin and recorded at Ty’ Segall’s Harmonizer studios in Topanga Canyon, “People Move On” is the first single off Jess Cornelius’s new album, CARE/TAKING."People Move On was written amid the disintegration of a pretty significant relationship. Although I was probably terrified, this song feels like me trying to convince myself otherwise: that people do this all the time, that they move on, that they survive, that there are better things on the other side. I think for this reason the song has the driving, forward momentum that it does. It was an act of manifestation, propelling us into the future.” -Jess Cornelius

► Lyrics:
I used to be a different person
Go out in the evening
Had a lot to say
But all of that is changed
I gave away
Pieces of my body
And my brain
I’ll get it back some day
I used to think that I was different
Something in the movement
In my mind
But I was far from right
I was just the same
Full of hope and promise
Never coming true
I wanted more from you
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause people are always forgetting the words to their song
And people move on
People move on
Please don’t tell me what you’re thinking
I don’t need to know it
You’ve said too much
That cannot be unheard
Now it’s a worm
Planted in my shadow
Growing by the day
I wish it didn’t work that way
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause both of us have forgotten the words to our song
And people move on
People move on
And this, this is for my girl
It’s about her daddy
He is a good man
I loved him all I can
But love is a strange thing
For you it’s never waning
You are the big light.
