about

A jazzy number, which features a solo from each guitarist in the band. Jesse wrote this one when he was 14!

lyrics

Uphill
By Jesse Potter 2008
Intro Solo
Verse 1
And if we fall after all the labour life’s put us through, well I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna get right back up again.
I know your stressed and life’s a mess, but people depend on you,
you’re gonna have to push on through. You’re gonna have to see this to the end.
Pre-Chorus
And I know it’s hard, it’s almost out of your hands.
And I know you’re so tires, but you’ve got to understand, that...
Chorus
Life only goes uphill from here, too bad you’re carrying a load.
But the further up you go the grass gets greener.
Check out the scenery before it’s down below.
Always climbing, just to find the top a little bit further away.
But every single day it’s undeniably closer, than it’s ever been before.
Solo
Verse 2
Life’s a box of chocolates filled with all sorts of mystery,
You’re gonna have to wait and see. Tell me what flavor did ya choose?
Well these are just the blocks you’ll use to build your tower way up above the world, the one where your dreams unfold, the one where you can kick it back and snooze.
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Outro solo
