Sing Out Lyrics


Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come so far you know, God, how I wish I could stay
Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again
We've got so far to go just when it feels like the endSing out, sing for the wounded heart
Sing for the lives we've lost
Sing out, sing for the blood of man
Poured out at such a costSing out, baby, baby, I don't understand
The flowers that you place in my hand
Sing out, sing for the love of God
Sing for the changing manI've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me
No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see
I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name
Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rainSing out, sing for the wounded heart
Sing for the lives we've lost
Sing out, sing for the blood of man
Poured out at such a costSing out, baby, baby, I don't understand
The power that you place in my hands
Sing out, sing for the love of God

Sing for the changing manHold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come too far you know to let it turn out this way
Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again
We've got so far to go, oh, and it feels like the endI've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me
No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see
I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name
Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rain

Mason Jennings is a Minnesota-based pop-folk singer-songwriter. Jennings is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. He is well known for his simple yet catchy melodies, intimate lyrics, intensely literary and historical themes, and deep tenor's voice. His music has appeared in the surf film Shelter and he has toured extensively. Jennings is married to Amy Jennings (nee Turany) and has a son, August, born in January 2003.

Jennings produced his self-titled debut album in 1997 on an analog four-track in the basement of a rented home, manning all instruments himself. In October 1998, after bringing drummer Chris Stock and bassist Robert Skoro on board, he began a weekly gig at Minneapolis' 400 Bar as the Mason Jennings Band. Garnering local praise and a wide fan base, Mason began touring nationally.

His 2000 album Birds Flying Away revealed Jennings' political activism and penchant for singing first-person narratives of imaginary rustic characters. Following the release of this album, Noah Levy took over drumming duties from Stock.

2002 saw the release of two albums: the studio piece Century Spring and a "fans only" collection of acoustic rarities, Simple Life. An EP supporting Century Spring was also released, featuring the album's opening track, "Living In The Moment," two live tracks, and the previously-unreleased "Emperor Ashoka." Jennings released all three discs -- and re-released his earlier albums -- on his homebrewed record label, Architect Records.

In 2003, Skoro and Levy left the band (the former to pursue a solo career), and were replaced by bassist Chris Morrissey (formerly of Bill Mike Band) and drummer Brian Mcleod.

On 10 February 2004, Jennings released Use Your Voice, which notably included the songs "Keepin' It Real," a foot-stomper ostensibly written at the request of Shrek 2 producers (but not used in the film), and "The Ballad of Paul and Sheila," an acoustic dirge for late Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone. On the 30th, September of that year, the band released a DVD entitled Use Your Van, which chronicled the recording of Use Your Voice and part of the promotional tour. The DVD was filmed by Andy Grund.

On June 17, 2005, news broke that Jennings had finally signed with a major label: Glacial Pace, a subsidiary of Sony's Epic Records headed by Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock. Minnesota's Star Tribune broke the story, and credited Brock with convincing Jennings to sign after the Mason Jennings Band had opened for several Modest Mouse shows in 2004. Jennings had long avoided the major labels, citing desires to maintain creative control and dodge big-label politics.

Jennings recorded his sixth album, "Boneclouds," at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, MN. The album was released on May 16, 2006 by Glacial Pace.

After considerable success on "Boneclouds", Jennings released his seventh full length album "In the Ever". The album was released under Jack Johnson's "Brushfire Records".
