Jesse Daniel Edwards

Jesse Daniel Edwards is an award-winning songwriter based in East Nashville. Apart from his work as a solo artist, he spent five years on the road with The Smart Brothers, releasing 4 recordings and performing with the likes of First Aid Kit and Jason Mraz. As a young songwriter, Jesse relocated to Nashville where he became a protege of Al Bunetta (John Prine, Oh Boy Records). Honing his art busking outside of honky tonks and writing on Music Row in the years that followed, JDE crafted his raw talent into the passionate vocals and smart lyrics that would become his signature style. Favoring a DIY approach in the vein of Elliot Smith or Conor Oberst, Jesse’s heartfelt indie folk and alt-country sound has endured with his fans through his self-produced recordings and demos, along with his engaging live performances. His music has been featured in radio, TV, and independent films and is available on Netflix, Spotify (featured artist), and Apple Music.

Chorus:
I swore I'd be there for you until the bitter end
but the time to prove it to you has come and gone
and come again
I won't say that I don't love you still
Because that's a lie
if I never get to Philadelphia
I'll regret it until the day I die

Verse 1:
If you had told me back then
that I would lose her in the end
it would have made no difference
it wouldn't change anything
I could have tried a little harder
made the days a little longer
been stronger
maybe that would have changed everything

Verse 2:
I could have gone running after you
and done what desperate people do
you walked into that setting sun
and I was desperate as anyone
so I'm going to work hard every day
put a little money away
I'm leaving this two-star town 
and I'll never look back again
