The Jack Newsome<\/strong> song “The Year The World Stood Still<\/strong>“, was written (as is suggested) about how we had to hit pause in 2020. How the world began a mammoth reset because of the global pandemic and the effects on our lives. You might now think we’ve had plenty of musical odes about this topic. That you’re beginning to become weary by it or instead are searching for some escapism in the music listening choices that you make. I would urge you. However, give “The Year The World Stood Still<\/strong>” by Jack Newsome a chance. My feeling is you will probably melt like drizzled butter into the track once you take notice of the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noted for writing solid pop songs only. Jack Newsome is clearly an accomplished storyteller. His goal with this track is the documenting of specific memories of this time. But to also go beyond this, by offering up a different perspective. Of how we might be looking back, on these events in future years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I remember writing this song thinking, \u2018I\u2019m in my 20’s and right now I should be having the time of my life. And, I couldn\u2019t do any of that\u201d says Jack. Instead, “I hope that for years to come, people will hear this song and just reflect on how far we\u2019ve come,\u201d he adds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
