    'Songs You Weren't to Hear' is the 11 track, limited edition album release by Jacko Hooper, exclusive to Folklore.

    Consisting of some of the rarest and unknown tracks, this is a collection of the rawest, most stripped back and honest songs Jacko has released yet and an absolute essential purchase for his fans.
    With just 100 copies available, each CDR also contains a signed lyric sheet of one of the songs from the album and a note written to the buyer thanking them for their support.
    The first 50 buyers will also get their record signed.

    Included in the album is final track, 'Tonight'. The very first song ever recorded of Jacko at just 15 years of age, it highlights how long he has been on this journey and shows the beginning of his story.

    These are songs that weren't meant to be heard, but now for the first time, you can hear these tracks and get an insight into the workings of this troubadour and become a part of his story in one of the most unique ways.

    Jacko will be touring from Spring around the UK and Europe, you can find out further information at:

lyrics

My love is pure, but it’s insecure
My promises confident but they’re sore
From the time it takes to conquer, dreams are not enough
For i said i would do more
I said i would do more

I wanna live on the stage
So i can buy you a house one day
I know it seems far away
But i mean these words, i say

Memories of the kitchen table
Not walking to school, or feeling able
Not leaving this house i love
Tip-toeing to the gate of trust
Feet remain sniffing pavement,
Never lurching or feeling stable
I took my chances to run
Not face the demons they become

I want to live on the stage,
So i can buy you a house one day,
I know it seems far away,
But i mean these words i say,
I want to live on the stage,
Like i said at the age of 8
And sometimes things are meant to change,
But it’s not over,
And i’ll do as i told you i would, i would.

I have to go, i have to go,
if i leave my home, if i leave my home,
I have to show, i have to show,
“You’ve earned to feel how you felt all along”
“You’ve earned to feel how you felt all along”
So i will go.
And i’ll leave my home.

I’m gunna live on the stage,
I’m gunna live on the stage.
