Feels like the spell has finally broken Feels like the shadows lifted from my eyes For all the times these blues have taken My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise From the darkness of my window I wondered if I’d ever see the light But like a blackbird from the ruins I can feel my spirit taking flight Can’t hold back the sun Can’t hold back the sun It’s been too cold, it’s been too long Can’t hold back the sun I was shattered I was bleeding I was sure that I would fade away Then the angel of the morning Found a way to bring a brand new day Can’t hold back the sun Can’t hold back the sun It’s been too cold, it’s been too long Can’t hold back the sun Gonna shake that devil off my shoulder Gonna put my faith in what’s to come Feel like the spell has finally broken Feel like the shadows lifted from my eyes For all the times these blues have taken My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise From the darkness of my window I wondered if I’d ever see the light But like a blackbird from the ruins I can feel my spirit taking flight Can’t hold back the sun Can’t hold back the sun It’s been too cold, it’s been too long Can’t hold back the sun

about

“I was in the process of finishing writing songs for my fifth album when COVID-19 hit us all. It made me think in an entirely different way and yearn for reassurance and hope. With that in mind I sat down to write ‘Can’t Hold Back The Sun’ looking to a feeling of liberation and rebirth after lockdown when we could begin our lives again.” - Jon Allen

A whiskey soaked voice and a pedigree as a songwriter of four studio albums to date, Jon Allen has carved a niche as a live performer supporting such acts as Damien Rice, Mark Knoplfer, Seal and Dionne Warwick to name a few. He has also performing on the iconic BBC’s Later With Jools Holland and as part of the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury. His new album is slated for release this year.
