FEELS LIKE SHIT I give it all up I let it all go Cause it doesn’t matter to my show It feels like shit It feels like nothing Oh how I can’t stand it To be the center of this one-man-show But you are the rock Upon which I stand And nothing else matters in the end With all my heart I wanna hang with you With all my voice I wanna sing for you Take all my fears and give me truth With all my heart, Jesus, I long for you I give it all up I let it all go Cause now you are the center of my show With all my heart I wanna hang with you With all my voice I wanna sing for you Take all my fears and give me truth With all my heart, Jesus, I long for you

Creationist 03:52
CREATIONIST So cool, when I look at my brother So cool, now that he is a father And when he told me about the baby's birth He was crying for joy and lost for words Fancy - two people make love And what comes out is new life And this is why it is, I’m a creationist I’m getting up and I’m thinking about I wanna stop and then sing it all out In the morning sun, in the morning sun I look at me and I got it alright Oh I believe that I am living a life In the morning sun, in the morning sun So cool, I was thinking of music And it doesn’t make sense to me at all I was thinking about rhythm, pitch and harmony And how it can touch a wicked soul I was thinking about love, beauty and sex And this is why it is, I’m a creationist I’m getting up and I’m thinking about I wanna stop and then sing it all out In the morning sun, in the morning sun I look at me and I got it alright Oh I believe that I am living a life In the morning sun, in the morning sun

I MADE A PROMISE I made a promise, I made a promise, forever to stay Until I go hopping into my coffin, I promised to stay Oh, and I got you saying the same It’s a powerful beauty And the beauty will stay by the duty to stay Baby I told you, that I will hold you as long as I live I gotta stay ever, there will be never, never an „IF" It’s easy to split up, harder to stay It’s a powerful beauty And the beauty will stay by the duty to stay Nobody told me, loving was easy Oh, but I promised you to stay I gotta stay ever, I gotta go never Baby I promised you to stay It’s a powerful beauty And the beauty will stay by the duty to stay

DROWN IT IN YOUR BLOOD Look at me, what I have done Sinful like no other Once again my heart has gone Ways I never wanted Oh, drown it in your blood The story of your endless love Of purity on crosses Of sin, loosing its curse on me Of devil’s sting is now broken Oh, drown it in your blood The story that my grandma told Of greatest desperation To others she’s just grey and old But she talks my rock foundation Oh, drown it in your blood

Frogsong 03:47
FROGSONG Baby baby, let me be Your frog, singing in the sea Take me in and take me out Give me reason give me hope I’m a prince, moved into a frog And day by day I’m watching out Waiting for your princess face Give me reason give me grace Baby, you should know, that I am waiting here One day I went to a fish It said to me, that it would wish that I could find another frog for me But then I told it, that I don’t belong to water And then when I have looked above that fish I saw you standing by the sea And then when I have left the water world for you You haven’t even seen me and left the place Baby, you should know, that I am waiting here Baby, you should know, that I will cry no tear

Death 03:31
DEATH Death is so powerful when death steps in your way Breathing in and out You think, forever you will stay But don’t rush - Death will get you anyway Dying is for others When your end seems far away And how about your philosophies When this is your last day But don’t rush - Death will get you anyway Storing gold an silver As you’re working overtime At least you try your best, you think And this is honorable, you find Then suddenly, that cancer hurts your invincibility And money helps you nothing to survive, as you can see But don’t rush - Death will get you anyway

Sold My Life 02:53
SOLD MY LIFE I sold my life to the shepherd So that I’m a sheep in his herd I heard him calling to believe him And it was taking me a long long time to understand Till then I found: The Shepherd is my lifewest in the end And when I’m dead, I’m no more lonely Hanging out with the one and only With the shepherd, cause I’m in his herd And it was taking me a long long time to understand Till then I found: The Shepherd is my lifewest in the end Surely, when I leave this life Surely, I will dance and jive Surely, when I’ll sing my song Surely, with no flesh and bones Surely, I will shout And when I’m dead, I’m no more lonely Hanging out with the one and only With the shepherd, cause I’m in his herd And it was taking me a long long time to understand Till then I found: The Shepherd is my lifewest in the end

GREAT MOUNTAINS (Wine In Cana feat. Jan Jakob) I got something to discover It’s the world in my own heart Stranger’s faces, brand new places And the stories about your grace Take the courage to make a start If we seek, we will find At the end of the world we will see the truth If you lead me, I will fallow you to Great mountains Wild rivers Deep valleys Endless sea This path is not like we imagined It’s maybe crooked and we get lost It’s getting harder and harder to keep our faith But If you lead me I will fallow Great mountains Wild rivers Deep valleys Endless sea

EARLY IN THE MORNING Early in the morning I got ready for the day Early in the morning I sat down and tried to pray But I somehow couldn’t, I was thinking by myself That I won’t survive the day Forgot to prepare Uni, forgot to pay the rent in time And I missed my friends, to share and talk about life I ran out of money, ran an empty bank account And that made me come to you It was one of those days, that I barely wish to move Simply one of those days without joy without a groove And I felt like a sad song, when a happy song you gave Now Jan, Take that guitar, the broken string don’t matter Listen carefully and sing along with me And as you gave me this song As all my fearing was gone And as I went to Uni I could see myself dancing Early in the morning I was dancing all around I heard choirs singin, and they knew the greatest sound And I praised the lord wor beeing who he is Early in the morning - Nothing better than this

Fall Asleep 05:55
FALL ASLEEP I’m a mess I’m lying on my chest weary and done of the day I got money to earn I got a lesson to learn But know it’s time to fall asleep I’m trying on a book But my eyes refuse to look Slightly I mix it into my phantasie I got you on my mind, you o my mind You stay awake as I fall asleep I’m so tired But thats alright Moving from back unto my side I got you on my mind, you on my mind You stay awake as I fall asleep LIEBLINGS- KIRCHENLIED MEINER UROMA: Solang mein Jesus lebt Und seine Kraft ich hebt Soll Furcht und Sorge von mir fliehn Das ist mein Paradies

Jan Jakob Hanover, Germany

Musik wie eine Reise im Wohnmobil mit deinen besten Freunden, Jack Johnson und Johnny Cash. Entspannt. Komfortabel. Für alle Bedürfnisse ist gesorgt.
