Lost In You 02:50
It's a crack in my head Like a Shotgun If my heart could explode I'd be a dead one Love makes you sleep and dream of wishes and I get Lost In You I get so Lost In You and if You're Cold I Will Hold You A Ghost a Pirate a Lion If I could map it out and stop my Crying I would just get Lost In You Get so Lost In You and if You're Cold I Will Hold You This is for everybody who just can't keep it together Slap it in place If love is a mistake make it a big one Where on earth can my truth be lying? it gets so lost.... it gets so Lost In You and if You're Cold I Will Hold you

Coal miner's daughter goes missing in the water Everybody's lookin' from above The clouds bring down and ground breaks out Everybody's lookin' for the gun Everybody's lookin' for it Everybody's lookin' for it Everybody's lookin' for the gun The weeds push up from the bodies in the ground The gamblers and gangsters have won The well runs dry and the fire burns high But all she ever needed was love

Reputation 02:58
You've got a reputation in love, it begs for mercy. I see every window you pass by and those bags look guilty. Every night. Every night, if I follow you down. We'll both drown. I'll treat you better than the past. You went away to find it. In every sense you found it. It looked just like the real thing.

Last Bruise 03:35
It was almost gone. My last bruise from you. It was on it's way out of my point of view. Push away the pain. Pressure swells. You can go ahead over and punish someone else. Here I come. Here I come.

Hang On Me 02:49
When you're all alone with your thoughts as you bounce around in the darkness, you can hang on me. You can hang on me When you’re spent but it’s farther and every face has a scar, you can hang on me, you can hang on me I'll be overflowing to give you my company. I'll be overflowing to give you whatever you need When there's no one else you can call on, you're messed up tumbled and fallin' you can hang on me. You can hang on me. I'll be overflowing to give you my company. I'll be overflowing to give you whatever you need. I'll be overflowing to give you whatever you need.

When I fall, out of line, I know, you'll stand tall. Help me find out a way to break all my habits, destructing my time. You'll cradle all the ways and push me every day. Fight off all the fears scaring all my dreams away. When I say "it's never enough, the fight is too rough and I can't stand living through the tears". When I call, out for a sign, to guide my restless doubt, playing tricks up on my mind. You cradle all the ways and push me every day, fight off all the fears scaring all my dreams away. When I say "it's never enough the fight is too rough and I can't stand living through the tears". Whispering like nothing's left, wandering through this big mess it's hard to see, the forest through the trees. Every time you fall, you still make it. Every chance to grow I hope you take it. You give it all, to live it out, the dream is bigger if you dream loud. Many waves will seem to big, as they're crashing down you're wondering how to breathe underwater. Every time you fall, you still make it. Every chance to grow I hope you take it. You give it all, to live it out, the dream is bigger if you dream loud.

G.G. 02:59
Lay me down some day I know it's comin' There'll be dirt in my veins Today I'm still runnin' 'till I'm gone gone gone... 'till I'm gone gone gone... I'm Gonna Keep It Rough and Ready I'm Gonna Keep This Up Till Ya Follow Oh oh oh! Oh oh! Till I'm Buried Oh! Till I'm Gone. Till I'm gone gone gone I Hear The Rat Tat Tat The Sis Boom Bap Of A Thousand Shakin' Souls They're Kickin' Out The Jams Pulls Me Into The Sounds Of New And Old new and old. ! They Say Come Out and Play Stamp your Feet Keep it Wild and Loose and Uneven 'cause you can get away with whatever you want just make sure to keep up your breathing I'm Gonna Keep It Up I'm Gonna Keep It Up I'm Gonna Keep It Up Till I'm Gone!

Carnival 02:48
You wanna step right up, take a ride. You think it's dark out, just step inside. I will break your heart, if you come any closer. I will break your heart, if you come any closer. Slowly the crack starts, then it blows your world apart. You'll only know your heart when it breaks. All the pretty lights, they would drive you blind. Make you lose your breath. Make you wish you'd never stood in line. I will break your heart, if you come any closer. I will break your heart, if you come any closer. Slowly the crack starts, then it blows your world apart. You'll only know your heart when it breaks. When we're done, I'm on a highway run, hitch my ride into the setting sun. Slowly the crack starts, then it blows your world apart! You'll only know your heart when it breaks. So let it break. Let it break. So let it break.

Got This 03:04
Oh it's cool but it's cruel I just can't sleep and it's true that it's new and I'm in too deep I know, I know 'cause they told me I shouldn't be. Babe we've got this, oh we've got this. Take my picture with you as you go. Let it be the one true thing your heart knows. It's cool but it's cruel now you're far away. It's true that it's new but I know you'll stay with me, crossing seas. Babe we've got this, oh we've got this. Babe we've got it all. Take my picture with you as you go. Let it be the one true thing your heart knows. When the distance is just too much to bear, like the moon you can't see me but you know I'm there. Babe we've got this, oh we've got this. Babe we've got it all.

about

THROWBACK STYLE WITH A MODERN SOUND.
The official music video for G.G. is out now. Check it out on our video page. The raw footage for this video was shot as part of a One Take Super 8 Event put on by Cinevic.

The first single “G.G.” hit 10 weeks on the CBC Music Top 20 Countdown and is picking up airplay on Alternative Radio stations across Canada. “G.G.” plays well next to current hits from Cage The Elephant, Alice Merton, Black Keys, Elle King, Mother Mother, Muse, Flora Cash and The Beaches.

“G.G.” is an up-tempo song about perseverance, determination and kicking up dirt before you're buried in it. This song was written to remind us all to live every day like we're gonna die, but try not to actually kill ourselves.

Joan Bessie is a brand new project from Singer/Songwriter Jessica Beach, who joined forces with multi-talented composer & musician Mary Ancheta and Producers Elisa Pansaeng and Ben Kaplan. The dream team expanded with Mother Mother drummer, Ali Siadat and legendary bass player Darren Parris to complete this full length, studio album.

The self titled album is comprised of 9 original tracks and 2 stripped down covers, including a version of Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl”. The album delivers a range from softer tracks like "Hang On Me”, which was written as a lullaby, to the heavy survival anthem, “Last Bruise”. Joan Bessie is now available globally through all major digital retailers.

“I write music to download the words and marry them with melody, because that is my craft. My biggest purpose in sharing the music with fans is to be good company for the listener.” - JB
