about

'It Was There’ is about a house where I fell in love. As time passes and you move from different places it sometimes feels like those effortless feelings of love can fade and you long to go back to the place it all started to get them back. I just had to look a little deeper to see that I carry the love with me. No matter where you end up it will be there as long as you are willing to let it in. Take a drive with someone you love and enjoy.

lyrics

I'd walk with you to the corner store buying cheap wine, the ice cream always costs so much more.
Planes roaring over as we walked up the hill to your yellow house standing oh so still.

It was there I held you in my arms so tight.
It was there I didn't mind losing sleep at night.
It was there I fell so fast.

The wood floor creaking under our bare feet.
You'd move the furniture at least once a week.
Morning light on your smokey face and that balancing act your cigarettes would play.
It was so easy, we were just breathing.
It was so easy, we were just breathing, breathing.

It was there I held you in my arms so tight.
It was there I didn't mind losing sleep at night.
It was there I fell so fast. So fast.

Let's just wait in it, feel in it, breath in it awhile.
It's not that far away, far away.

It was there I held you in my arms so tight.
It was there I didn't mind losing sleep at night.
Wherever we find ourselves it will be there, it will be there.

J. Hofstee San Diego, California

J. Hofstee’s blend of indie rock Americana and dark, layered compositions, serve as an immersive soundtrack to an exploration of a fragile mind. Borne out of Alpine, CA, the tug and pull between a rural community on the cusp of city life is felt as the music beckons listeners to withdraw from the everyday and rediscover the self. ... more
