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.
Take Your time
South Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I'm looking at you I can hardly stand
That smile gives me butterflies
How in the world did this dream come true
You're freezing me up on the third of June
You better not say goodbye
Look in your eyes and I catch my breath
Glimpse in the mirror and it seems so right
I say take your time with me my baby
Your touch is mine to miss
And I said take your time with me my baby
I'm holding out for this
I say I need this
You know you want this
You're falling asleep as I look ahead
The starry night that we've had
I think I'll stay so still
I'll be the one to guide you
To give you warmth beneath this moon
I'll be the one just waiting when you wake for when you wake
Look in your eyes and I catch my breath
No sudden moves for fear of loss
Glimpse in the mirror and it seems so right
I say take your time with me my baby
Your touch is mine to miss
And I said take your time with me my baby
I'm holding out for this
I say I need this
You know you want this
We're walking alone and you squeeze my hand
As I'm looking at you I can hardly stand
That smile gives me butterflies
Look in your eyes and I catch my breath
No sudden moves for the fear of loss
Glimpse in the mirror and I know it's right
I say take your time with me my baby
Your touch is mine to miss
And I said take your time with me my baby
I'm holding out for this
I say I need this
You know you want this
I say I need this
You want this
