To kick off 2021, Jack Newsome has released the powerful anthem “The Year The World Stood Still,” a song about realizing that sometimes hitting a pause to reflect on things is necessary.
It’s both inspirational and touching while still having all of the qualities of a solid pop song. The track brin...
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna hear about
All the time you have to fill
Lucky you, you don't remember
The year the world stood still
[Verse 2]
People dressed in diamond rings
And those who know Goodwill
Those with Gods and those without 'em
The healthy and ill
[Pre-Chorus]
We grew apart six-feet between us
Boy, if looks could kill
I swear I should've gone to prison
The year the world stood still
[Chorus]
Ahhh
When you’re waving your goodbyes

[Post-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Ahhh
When you’re waving your goodbyes

Underneath the bluest skies
Oh-ahhh
No, you don't know what it's like wasting time
[Verse 4]
See the kids in paradise
Seeking out their thrill?
Lucky them, they don't remember
The year the world stood still
