  • NOTE FROM SCOTT ALAN: After an emotional masterclass on May 6th with a group of incredible artists, I invited one of my students to take the stage at my evening concert with Cynthia Erivo at the St. James Studio in London, UK. This was not planned. I just knew that the world needed to hear Jennifer’s story. So many are living in her reality and are in need of understanding that they are not alone in this world.
    Jennifer was unaware that she would be singing until the very moment I called her name. Cynthia and I had discussed the possibility during intermission but it wasn’t until I asked Jennifer to join us that the final decision was truly made. Let it be said - I was genuinely concerned that asking her to take the stage would be forcing someone into a situation that they may not be able to handle. My student’s are my responsibility and it is my job to protect them. But, Jennifer was the first student I’ve ever had where I didn’t need to work with them on emotionally connecting to their lyric. The moment she began to sing that morning in our class you felt the pain she was living inside. That is what a great artist does. Brings their story into the song to allow it to be a form of therapy. I also saw how hopeful she became after she sang the song in class and how her energy shifted after being praised by her fellow students. I knew that she needed this moment in the same way those in the audience needed to hear it.
    Let this video serve as proof. Life IS still worth holding on to. If only for these exciting and rare opportunities that you'd never knew existed if you weren’t still around to see them come to life. I hope this performance and this song brings great comfort to those suffering with depression.

    I was very fortunate to watch this performance live and it brought me to tears, as it does watching it again now. Jennifer sang it so amazingly with such strength and conviction. I have such great admiration for what she did, standing up there without any preparation and giving such a wonderful performance.

    This is one of my favourite of Scott's song, and this is the most touching of all performances. I adore the fact Scott didn't care about a famous name, and based this on pure talent and emotion.

    i have been a singer for such a long time (19 years), and unfortunately anxiety has consumed me completely so i have to quit my passion, job and life, i would love to record this song though but although i am a woman, i have an extremely deep range.. rob houchen's version is a better key for me, does anyone know where i can get that track? or magically if scott alan ever see's this, can you possibly post a track in the lower key, this song helps me alot, and it is one massive wish to record it.. thanks guys xx

      Darling, find a pianist that can transponate notes on your renge. That's normaly done in matter of minutes if the pianist cares enough and knows enough.. Blessings to you. Im also a contaalt.. We can sing together via video chat... Get up, practice every day and don't let the world wear you down. Be yourself as you are. Be happy!

    i have a blonde question.... why do British singers have an American accent while singing? British speaking, American singing. Freddie Mercury is another great example...
