Feels like the spell has finally broken
Feels like the shadows lifted from my eyes
For all the times these blues have taken
My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise
From the darkness of my window
I wondered if I’d ever see the light
But like a blackbird from the ruins
I can feel my spirit taking flight
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun
I was shattered I was bleeding
I was sure that I would fade away
Then the angel of the morning
Found a way to bring a brand new day
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun
Gonna shake that devil off my shoulder
Gonna put my faith in what’s to come
Feel like the spell has finally broken
Feel like the shadows lifted from my eyes
For all the times these blues have taken
My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise
From the darkness of my window
I wondered if I’d ever see the light
But like a blackbird from the ruins
I can feel my spirit taking flight
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold, it’s been too long
Can’t hold back the sun
Jon Allen, acclaimed singer-songwriter from London, England returns with the feel-good single, “Can’t Hold Back the Sun” released on July 1st, 2020. The new single’s uplifting message of moving on and moving forward was inspired by Allen coping with self-isolation and the optimism of the post-lockdown future.
“I was in the process of finishing writing songs for my fifth album when COVID-19 hit us all. It made me think in an entirely different way and yearn for reassurance and hope. With that in mind I sat down to write ‘Can’t Hold Back the Sun’ looking to a feeling of liberation and rebirth after lockdown when we could begin our lives again.”
