      The simple reason being not many people possess a voice as unique and as powerful as this. I couldn't name you three artists to produce music with this much emotion and raw appeal.

    We've become so desensitized as people, carrying the everyday weight of our existence and trying to improve it for our next generation. Wanting to feel love, connection while battling our vices. It's raw talent that has the potential of stopping us right in our tracks and recognise what is important. Right now.

    I first heard this song on the Mahogany Sessions a few days ago. The lyrics would be nothing without the pure passion that pours from this man. I haven't been able to get the song outhat of my head and I have listened to it over and over and over...then I had to check out some others of his (equally impeccable, of course). Jacob, you are absolutely incredible and I see nothing but success in your future! Please continue to share your gift with the world!

    I believe what I said.
    Why does everyone do me wrong?
    If I told you different, would it sound the same?
    Would it make a difference in any way?
    I know I done wrong, I paid for it.
    But it's your turn to talk, for once I'm listening.
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Tell me you've been tortured.
    Tell me you've been beaten.
    What I've done to you.
    Even if it doesn't matter, doesn't matter what's true
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Look at all this heart, take what is here.
    Forgetting how it started, this is how it ends.
    I know I've done some wrong and I've paid for it.
    But its your turn to talk, for once I'm listening.
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Tell me you've been tortured.
    Tell me you've been beaten.
    What I've done to you
    Even if it doesn't matter, doesn't matter what's true
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Tell me that its over.
    Tell me that you mean it.
    This time it's true.
    Tell me that I'm unknown to you...
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Tell me you've tortured.
    Tell me you've been beaten.
    What I've done to you.
    Even if it doesn't matter, doesn't matter whats true
    Say that you don't want me.
    Say that you don't need me.
    Tell me I'm the fool.
    Tell me that its over.
    Tell me that you mean it.
    This time it's true.
    Won't you tell me that I'm unknown to you...
