You Will Make It (feat. Vusi Mahlasela) Lyrics


Go to bed, everything's alright
Don't know the whole world's changing
As you sleep through the night
Wake up slowly and it's a different worldHear the news and the floods begin
Screams so loud but only felt within
Heart is shattered
The pieces can't be foundI feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you he would want you toMonths go by still living in a daze
Don't know what you've done
With the last seven days
Soul is numb and life is like a dreamHelping hands but you push them away
How could they understand
Don't wanna share your pain
Afraid to heal 'cause that would mean goodbyeI feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through

I promise you, she would want you toOne day sunlight hits a photograph
And it makes you smile
The memories dance around you now
And they make you smileYou're not alone, you'll never be
Just like the stars they oversee
And they whisper to you you're still, you're still
You're still, you're still aliveI feel your pain
I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, they would want you toDo not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snowI am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rushOf quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

Jem

Jem is the stage name of the singer-songwriter Jemma Griffiths (born 18 May 1975, in Penarth, Wales, United Kingdom). Her eclectic musical style encompasses elements of trip-hop, folk and rock. She is best known for the single "They" and the succesful album Finally Woken.

Jem began singing and writing songs during her time at Stanwell school at age thirteen. She attended Sussex University and she did eventually receive a degree in law. She also focused on being a DJ agent in Brighton where she spent a lot of time promoting club nights, and helped set up and run the label Marine Parade.

In November 1999, Jem assembled a mobile recording studio where she further developed her songwriting and music production skills. During this period, she completed four demos. Her solo career began in earnest in 2002, when a demo version of the song "Finally Woken" was played on the LA radio station KCRW. The track became one of the most listener-requested songs at the station, landing her in their top 5 played artists, and all prior to any record label being attached. As a result, she signed to Dave Matthews' ATO Records label.

Along with electronic producer Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Frou Frou), Jem wrote the song "Nothing Fails", which was later reworked by Madonna and appeared on her 2003 album American Life. In October 2003, Jem issued the moderately successful EP It All Starts Here, followed in 2004 by the single "They".

In 24 May 2004, Jem released her debut album Finally Woken on ATO Records. The album was produced by Ge-Ology, Yoad Nevo and Jem. Finally Woken was later released in Europe in 6 March 2005 and it was promoted by four singles: "They" (#6 UK), "Just a Ride" (#16 UK), "Wish I" (#24 UK) and "24" (promotional-only).

In 16 September 2008, she released the sophomore album Down to Earth. The album was preceded by the single "It's Amazing". Jem collaborated with Jeff Bass, Lester Mendez, Greg Kurstin and Vusi Mahlasela.

Jem's music featured on various movies (Closer, Eragon, Sex and the City, Monster-in-Law, The Prince and Me), trailers (Ultraviolet, Closer), ads (Lexus), and TV series (The OC, Six Feet Under, Gossip Girl, Smallville, 90210, Grey's Anatomy).
