Pale Jay - "In Your Corner" [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Pre-order LP/CD: https://colemine.lnk.to/kcr12026

Bewilderment - the feeling of being perplexed and confused - is the inspiration behind Pale Jay's new album. It's a soulful exploration of a family's gradual disintegration due to years of avoidance and miscommunication. During this difficult time, Pale Jay began to question the stories he had always lived with and re-examined his identity. The resulting work, Bewilderment, is his first full-length album, which strives to find answers to these questions and more. The album is set to release on 8/18/2023 on Karma Chief Records, a subsidiary of Colemine.

In Your Corner: the antagonist
At its core, the Afrobeat inspired song is a conversation with the self. An uplifting tune at first glance, the lyrics lay bare the internal struggle for self-acceptance. The song explores the push and pull between self-love and self-judgement that can often leave us feeling lost and uncertain.

Lyrics:
I never tried to put myself in your corner
I was right there all along
I softly stroke your hair sitting on your shoulder
And oh my dear, I love and judge you like your mom

We were in love right from the start
And then we pull each others hair
We cuddled up right in your heart
We criticise because we care
Yes, we care

I am the backpack on your back wearing heavy
But I also carry snacks
I’m gonna tell you to sit down and do your homework
Yes, but I’ll always, I’ll always have your back

We were in love right from the start
And we pull each others hair
We cuddled up right in your heart
We criticise because we care

Oh yes, we care for each other
Oh yes, we care
Yes, we do
And we’re better when we’re together
Oh yes, we’re better together me and you
