Blizzard 04:16
Blizzard Girl from the city Quit school early For life on the road To try make something She never came home She was never alone Grew up with folk Much older than her age Missed out her youth To gig on the big stage She never came home She wasn’t full grown She was caught in a blizzard that shadowed her soul But heard a bird singing something sweet Lay her head right here and shared her dream There was something kind of bold beneath the fire and coals Of a girl buying back belief She never came home Unhinged the mother Made her decisions Lost her brother Set out on a mission Cover was blown They never came home Struggled to find A man that could take it Pent up with fear To lose such a great thing She never found home She was always alone She was caught in a blizzard that shadowed her soul But heard a bird singing something sweet Lay her head right here and shared her dream There was something kind of bold beneath the fire and coals Of a girl buying back belief She never came home She was never alone She had the time of her life Chasing summers back and forth again Running from city to town To show the globe who she is Now just looking for love With all the loving world to spend On an authentic smile But a careful smile

Make me Happy – Jimmi Nolan © 2014 Well the sun is shining through a bay window I can see the reflection of a man who needs to know You’re smiling And I know I’m right when I say we’re blessed With unconditional love, unconditionally We’re smiling Oh keep smiling CHORUS: Make me Happy Just by being Happy Make me Happy Just by being Happy We Happy You Happy Well the world is older than a turtle’s shell Doesn’t stop you from stressing when heaven turns to hell Keep smiling Well it won’t be the first time and it won’t be the last You’re taking pain from all the gravity pulling from the past Oh keep smiling CHORUS BRIDGE: Oh the earth’s vice can squeeze your heart sometimes And lift it up and drop it from height But there’s no point in crying Just to love Just to care Just to know you belong here CHORUS to fade Chords: Verse & Chorus – C / Am / F / F Bridge – E7 / F / E7 / F D7 / G

Miracle with Eyes Rolled through the ages Rolled into love Called to the angels From depths of our souls A calming feeling Like flowered herb Came and settled Our nerves Stared without breathing At monochrome Beyond the small head and torso A real existence Of yours and mine Shivers of joy permeated our spines CHORUS: Send us a miracle Some kind of miracle We got a miracle Look at this miracle Miracle with Eyes Walk down the high street Each way I turn Young men are dad's Old one, much to learn Make it look easy Like Superman Fly by cape Will ya teach me how to stand CHORUS: Send us a miracle Some kind of miracle We got a miracle Look at this miracle Miracle with Eyes I wake suddenly My hair is damp Roll over to you Place my hand Upon your belly A fluttered flow 3 hearts in a row World with its reasons We’ll never know Why sometimes We can’t seen to let go But I know something I never did Ask sometimes And the universe gives CHORUS: Send us a miracle Some kind of miracle We got a miracle Look at this miracle Miracle with Eyes (Falls to the water, drifts to the light Mother cradles close with new love in her eyes) Miracle We got a miracle Miracle really is magical Miracle Look at this miracle (Face that measured change we’re no longer the same) Miracle We found a miracle Miracle scale beyond biblical Miracle our perfect miracle (Fell to the water and into a name) Miracle love for this miracle Miracle marking our pinnacle Miracle beautiful miracle

about

Jimmi Nolan's newest musical collection can be described in just 17 syllables, in the form of a 'Haiku', a traditional Japanese poem:

Love that comes then goes.
Life carries on, be happy.
Welcome to the world.

Through life's lessons we reach 'Milestones', the accompanying soul bearing EP to the the spirit harmonising folk single 'Make me Happy'.

About Milestones:

So much happens in one's life in 5 years - the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, through which we learn so much about ourselves and world around us. The six tracks on Jimmi Nolan's latest EP have been carefully chosen, that for him represent most sincerely these experiences and reached these so called milestones.

The debut EP, ‘Milestones’ was recorded at various studios in London including Nevo Sound Studio in Notting Hill (by accomplished producer Andy Schrav, credits include Paper Aeroplanes, Renny Field and the Hussy Hicks), Raph White and Andy O’Neil at Bowerman Studios in Chelsea. The EP features strong musical support and collaboration from Raph, Andy and Schrav, The Hussy Hicks and the rhythm section of the Foreign Beggars live band.

“I dedicate this collection to my beautiful Jade and son Séamus.” - Jimmi x

about

Jimmi Nolan London, UK

Adding to the unassuming voice of Nick Mulvey with the howling swagger of Paolo Nutini, Nolan’s blend of dynamic indy folk initially soothes then intoxifys with a finish of a Glen Hansard-esque knock out.

Jimmi is Australian borm, and since moving to the London he
has proven his ability to seamlessly connect his guitar and powerful voice with the audiences throughout the UK and Europe.
