Her songs are haunted by the unexpected fusion of the classically influenced piano, wistful strings, strange harmonies, and pop bent.
She fell in love with music at exactly the moment her seven-year-old fingers touched the keys of her family’s tired and old spinet piano, and was inspired by composers such as Chopin, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Soler, Schumann, and Bach, and their passion and ability to connect with their audience generation after generation. Performing at countless recitals and competitions, she became a fine classical pianist. From an early age, Jackson-Holman was also in love with reading, beautiful words, good literature, metaphors, and poetry. And ever since she could speak, she loved to sing. In the March of 2008, she began to reconcile her love of piano, poetry, singing, and pop music, and became fascinated with this medium of communication that so happily married her favorite passions.
Can't Take My Love
Sara Jackson-Holman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not if I'm dragged across the continents or through the sea
Your love is safe with me
Can't take my love from me
Not if I'm dragged across the continents or through the sea
Can't take my love from me
And though I'm weary I'm not stoppin' just to let it fade
To let it slip away
And through the rolling tide
My vision blurred you were obscured but still I had to fight
To keep your hand in mine
And when you go I go to pieces, to pieces
So don't leave me for too long
So honey oh, won't you release me release me?
Oh, don't let me come undone
And all the streets are hushed
What lies in silence must belong there in the falling dusk
Our lost dreams come to us
And though it all seems wrong
I wake and find you by my side like you were never gone
Like you were never gone
And when you go I go to pieces, to pieces
So don't leave me for too long
So honey oh, won't you release me release me?
Oh, don't let me come undone
And when you go I go to pieces, to pieces
So don't leave me for too long
So honey oh, won't you release me release me?
Oh, don't let me come undone
