    One of the best singer/songwriters of this generation, and my personal favourite. You can't deny a storytelling powerhouse like this folks.

    It takes a team of people to write a single these days and Jensen is out here running circles around them in that regard alone say nothing of her incredibly pure voice
    Ridiculously rare talent

    Celtic yodel technique in her singing mixed with another technique. Similar to Dolores O’ Riordan of the cranberries

    Oh Jensen🤧
    I couldn't help but pour my heart out to you about how deeply I admire and cherish your music since I first found you with inmune a couple years ago. You have a voice that carries raw emotions that touch the deepest corners of my soul. The way you craft your lyrics is truly amazing, painting pictures with words and evoking emotions I never knew existed and memories I thought were lost. Your music has been a lifeline for me, providing solace and a safe space during both joyous and challenging times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your extraordinary talent with the world. As always, a boundless and endless inspiration.

    @TheAmorpheus Месяц назад

    Right off the bat, a big stand-out, is how the "default" move in a session like this is an acoustic. Not only does this session break that up, but rightly so, it just feels so right for the vibe that's going here.
    Trying to write and find myself, and the acoustic is always my default. But I love my gorgeous electric too, and all the tines it's capable of. Maybe time to pick it up more when working out first ideas.
    Thanks for doing what you do, sharing your self, and for moving others like me to do their own thing.

    I miss the way we used to talk
    I miss the things you used to know about me
    I miss being wanted the way only you can do
    But I don't miss you
    [Verse 2]
    We met when I was just nineteen
    And now I'm well past twenty-three
    I miss who I was back when I knew all I thought I knew
    But I don't miss you
    [Chorus]
    There will always be a gap between
    Who I loved and who you really used to be
    I will always save a space, it's true
    For the man I thought you were
    But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you
    [Verse 3]
    I miss your rough and calloused hands
    The way that you spoke of your best-laid plans
    I miss how sure you were of shots I swore you blew
    But I don't miss you
    [Chorus]
    Therе will always be a gap between
    Who I loved and who you rеally used to be
    I will always save a space, it's true
    For the man I thought you were
    But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you

    I miss the heart that felt those things
    The older I get, the less it stings
    I know I'm too young, and I've not yet paid my pain in dues
    I know you lost me, but I didn't lose you
    But you're not much to lose
    [Chorus]
    There will always be a gap between
    Who I loved and who you really used to be
    I will always save a space, it's true
    For the man I thought you were
    But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you
    [Outro]
    No, I don't miss you
    No, I don't miss you
    I don't miss you
    I don't miss you
    I don't miss you
