Blues Of Today

Leap Of Faith by Seth Walker

 

After my baby quit me
I wouldn't even go outside
When my friends tried to fix me up
I get up underneath the bed and hide

I knew I was never goin' to change my luck
Till I got my courage up enough to try
And when I wither and spread my wings
I found out I could fly

'Cause sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith, yes, it does
Sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith

I had no way of knowin'
What would come from my first kiss
It scares me now just to think about
All the good love I might have missed

Now, I was just tryin' to find some help
Tryin' to see myself as a survivor
I had to rise on up from the ashes of love
And jump back into the fire

'Cause sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith
Sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith

Sometimes you got to believe
Before you see the fruit
You can wait a lifetime
For a moment of truth

'Cause sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith

Sometimes you got to believe
Before you see the fruit
You can wait a lifetime
For a moment of truth

Sometimes all it takes
Sometimes all it takes
Sometimes all it takes
Is a leap of faith

Oh, you gotta believe it
Sometimes, sometimes
That's all it takes

Sometimes all it takes
Sometimes all it takes
Sometimes all it takes

Umm, you gotta believe
Have a little faith

Sometimes, that's all it takes
Sometimes, that's all it takes

Searching for Blues music that was created and listened to by the younger generations? Seth Walker is a familiar voice to blues houses and coffee shops world wide. His song, Leap Of Faith, is an all to common feeling of many who have gone through a tough heartbreak. This song is about how he went through a rough breakup that made him afraid to love. He would not go out because he was not over his ex, until, one day he went on a "leap of faith". He lets his audience know that you cannot hide after a rough patch in life. Sometimes you just need to try again,"And jump back into the fire". As scary as that may seem it can work out for the better, like it did for him. Even though his song is solely based about a breakup the end opens up to most people just needing a leap of faith to get them out o their rut. I like this song because it gives hope to those in a hard time. This song relates back to our class with how most of the lyrics are repeating and it is a slower pace. This song, like other blues songs, lacks the complex rhythm and instruments of a rock song.
