attention of upcoming producers Mike Chan and Bobby Campbell. Chan and Campbell, who then were writing music themselves and in need of a vocalist, invited Hall for a jam session, and in March 2008, South Jordan was formed.

The demo's by South Jordan attracted the attention of Farm Fresh Studio owner Jacob Belser, who invited them to his studio to record their 'Only Halfway' EP. (Coming out late July on iTunes and Amazon Music)

Mike hails from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Bobby from Hagerstown, Indiana and Hall from Chicago, Illinois. Given their various backgrounds and influences, each member brings something of their own to the group. This is demonstrated in their 6 track EP, where songs deviate from upbeat to epic.

South Jordan has a rigorous performing schedule ahead of them in the Fall. They will perform both acoustic and full-band shows within the MidWest region and fulfill their dream of bringing their brand of music to the masses.

South Jordan's current line up still include Michael David Hall on vocals, Bobby Campbell on keyboards and guitar, Benton Kubicki on bass, and Jesse Feister on drums. Their full length album, Keep Calm and Carry On, debuts December 20, 2011.

South Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never ever did I think I′d find
A love like you in a world like this
Never ever did I think I'd work so hard
To keep from callin′ it quits
Never ever did I tell you so
Too afraid to let you know
There's so much unspoken

If I could hear your whispers
If I could breathe you in
We could fix what's broken
And try to start again
If you can say you need me
Like I need you now
We could take it slowly
Cause we could make it last
Forever There were times when we had it all
But it wasn′t enough to make you stay
There were times when we needed more
But it wasn′t so far, so far away
Never ever did I tell you so
Too afraid to let you know
There's so much unspoken

If I could hear your whispers
If I could breathe you in
We could fix what′s broken
And try to start again
If you can say you need me
Like I need you now
We could take it slowly
Cause we could make it last
Forever Oh, oh, oh
Oh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
(Never ever did I think i'd find
A love like you in a world like this)
Oh, oh, oh,
Yeah

If I could hear your whispers
If I could breathe you in
We could fix what′s broken
And try to start again
If I could hear your whispers
If I could breathe you in
We could fix what's broken
And try to start again
If you can say you need me (say you need me)
Like I need you now (need you now)
We could take it slowly

Cause we could make it last
Forever
