Love Rising Up Love rising up, It’s so beautiful Love rising up It’s so beautiful As I rise up in the morning, It’s a brand new day Things been rough, been so tough Chase my blues away Every life like a grain of sand Every sign every plan Seems to lead us to some unknown land Can’t stop us anyway Love rising up, keeps on rising up It’s so beautiful, Love rising up, oh keep on rising It’s so beautiful I know we need a resolution And I know we need to find some common ground Cos this love that we lost Could never be enough, need it, gotta feed it Love rising up, keeps on rising up It’s so beautiful Love rising up, oh keep on rising It’s so beautiful Gonna creep right up on you Gonna creep right up on you Gonna creep right up on you Gonna creep right up on you Love rising up It’s so beautiful Love rising up It’s so beautiful
2.	No One Can Take Your Place 06:25	lyrics	buy track
No One Can Take Your Place It’s been such a long time Since I’ve seen your face Hope I’m still in season Still running the race Tell me is there a place in your heart for me? Too far to remember too close to forget As you look December is right round again Tell me is there a place in your heart for me? I’ve never felt so into it I’ll give you all that I can give I’ve never felt so into it I’ll give you all that I can give What we have is cool I feel it’s pure The mysteries endure No one can take your place It’s been such a long time Since I’ve seen your face Hope I’m still in season Still running the race Tell me is there a place in your heart for me? It’s funny but it seems like life gets in the way Day turns into night time night turns into day And I pray there is still a place in your heart for me For me, for me What we have is cool I feel it’s pure The mysteries endure No one can take your place I’ve never felt so into it I’ll give you all that I can give I’ve never felt so into it I’ll give you all that I can give

Carnival Carnival, it’s getting hot out on the streets I must confess you’ve got the power To make me feel complete So many stories have been written All kinds of people passing by Some are cold and some are lonely While others dance with souls afire Carnival, summer dreaming I count the blessings in my life, (count my blessings) I hope you feel the spirit move you And bring you happiness tonight You’ve got the power to dance away your sorrows You’ve got the power to be who you want to be You’ve got the power to make a better tomorrow You’ve got the power to be free Night falls softly on my shoulder Lilac blooms beneath my feet Some never know when things are over And live forever in their dreams You’ve got the power to dance away your sorrows You’ve got the power to be who you want to be You’ve got the power to make a better tomorrow You’ve got the power to be free Carnival, summer dreaming I count the blessings in my life I hope you feel the spirit move you And bring you happiness tonight You’ve got the power to dance away your sorrows You’ve got the power to be who you want to be You’ve got the power to make a better tomorrow You’ve got the power to be free You’ve got the power to Dance, dance, dance, dance Be free, be free, be free

Nightingale Nightingale, so beautiful to see I love the way you glide with the sun on your wings Flying light and so free Nightingale Singing songs of peace Love the way you climb into blue coloured skies Touching eternity So hard to go on feeling hope When things go wrong But when the world’s so magical I know love is strong Now I can, open up my heart to you I know you hear every whisper of my soul through the branches of the trees Nightingale Take this message to the one That holds the key to life and creation So everyman sings the same the same song So hard to go on feeling hope When things go wrong But when the world’s so magical I know love is strong Nightingale, so beautiful to see I love the way you glide with the sun on your wings Flying light and so free Nightingale Singing songs of peace Love the way you climb into blue coloured skies Touching eternity So hard to go on feeling hope When things go wrong But when the world’s so magical I know love is strong

The Way We Are Father time, mother earth, you been showing us What life is worth with the simple things you do And the mystery keeps unfolding like the sun How it circles making me feel warm The miracle of a child’s birth How you lift up our spirits to heaven above And we sparkle like the stars I’m so thankful that you are mine We’re the living proof Something old something new That’s just the way we are We’re the living proof Something old something new That’s just the way we are So confused by the things that people do But I can’t afford to be swayed by their moves It’s so pitiful when I think of all the pain So many reasons to feel good The miracle of a child’s birth How you lift up our spirits to heaven above And we sparkle like the stars I’m so thankful that you are mine We’re the living proof Something old something new That’s just the way we are We’re the living proof Something old something new That’s just the way we are

Sunflower Sunflower, yellow as the morning sun All the anger in the world cannot destroy the things to come Sunflower, swaying as the wind-bells chime Like the hope that prevails, you saw the beauty in my mind Da da da da da yah, Sunflower Da da da da da yah, Sunflower Empires they rise and fall, into the sand There’s no monument we build as tall and as graceful as you stand So many lives have gone, but everyone leaves something pure And grace can touch us all, and let us see the world anew Da da da da da yah, Sunflower Da da da da da yah, Sunflower So carry me in your arms And reveal what they have done I couldn’t ask for anymore You are the key that opens up the door And sets us free Sunflower, sunflower
8.	Love Will Be Our Guide 06:37	lyrics	buy track
Love Will Be Our Guide You’re my only desire I can see it in your eyes When you’re close to me I get a shiver inside You’re the king of the flock You’re indisputably the top When you’re around everything comes alive And when I’m feeling sad and blue In a world that doesn’t have a clue I gets to calling on you Cos you bring me high, so high Cos I, I’ll be waiting for you tonight Everything feels so right And I, know that love will be our guide You and I, moments so sublime No more wasting precious time I know love will be our guide Never felt this way before You came and opened up the door to my heart Your sweetness in my mind Your love so precious and so fine So special you’re one of a kind And I’m so glad to have you around And when I’m feeling sad and blue In a world that doesn’t have a clue I gets to calling on you Cos you bring me high, so high Cos I, I’ll be waiting for you tonight Everything feels so right And I know that love will be our guide You and I, moments so sublime No more wasting precious time I know love will be our guide Love is such a precious, such a precious thing oh yes it is What joy and happiness it brings Even when my heart it hurts it begins to sing For without love, life don’t mean a thing For without you, there’s no song to sing Chorus x 2

about

Jersey Street’s heady combo of deep house, spiritual jazz, latin rhythms and raw soul saw them receive some heavy props and kudos all around the world when they first appeared back in the day - with “Manchester’s best kept secret”, vocalist Dawn Zee, being compared to the likes of Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and Lauren Hill.

In 2020 the band are back with a brand new album “Love Rising Up” that returns to their original jazz roots and steps away from the dance floor to draw the dots between the influences of Roy Ayers, Rotary Connection and Betty Davis to the more contemporary stylings of Anderson Paak and Floating Points, stopping off for a drink with Nu-Yorican Soul along the way.

The album is characterised by lush string and brass orchestration, some world-class musicianship, and an irreverent Manchester attitude, with the band’s classic song writing chops always at the forefront.

According to co-founder Dawn Zee, “We began this process a couple of years ago as something very pure, based on the desire to make the record that we’d always wanted to, musically and sonically, without any reference to anything apart from our own taste. It ended up sounding better than we could have imagined, probably because of that very approach. It’s heavily song-based and draws on a wide range of influences. We’ve got some wonderful musicians on the album and we wanted to give all the players the freedom to bring their own vision of how it should sound. We’re really proud of it, and we hope it can bring a bit of happiness to all our fans and listeners. Hope everyone is irie. Stay blessed Xx.”
