Alyssa Jacey: The Sun Will Rise

Her career started by complete accident after she moved to LA in 2004 to pursue her life long passion as a hip-hop dancer/choreographer. Friends heard her singing to herself, forced her to try karaoke one night, and the rest is history. One year later, having never professionally sang or recorded, she released her first two albums, “The Alyssa Jacey” EP and “Closed eyes… …open Heart” LP. After submitting to the San Diego County Fair in 2005, she was hired to perform multiple shows there that summer and all around town.

Later that year she picked up a guitar and spent hours a day teaching herself so that by only after three short weeks was able to perform 30-minute sets, accompanying herself. The following year, “The Soul” EP was released after being flown to Miami to record it. This was the first album Alyssa played acoustic guitar on, as well as debuting her percussion, egg shaking skills, which would later turn in to an unexpected path as a drummer!

Alyssa Jacey: The Sun Will Rise Lyrics:
We think things happen for no reason but there is meaning behind them
And the answers will come eventually, oh oh
Doors may open, then close and be forgotten
It’s not what you lost, it’s what you took away

(Sample starts here)
Cuz the stars the stars they will shine
they will guide you through the night
as long as you believe the sun will rise, oh oh

oh ,oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
the sun will rise,oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh

We gotta find it, then be it, gotta live it and breathe it
Grab a hold instead of letting go afraid
Why do we fix what ain’t broken? Why don’t we break the mold and
Be the longest lasting change we’ll ever make?
Chorus
I had a dream that this life was make believe,
(sample ends here)

There were angels and demons holding hands
Lovers were loving, enemies were never judging
It was the first time the world had gone as planned…oh oh

oh ,oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
oh ,oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh

Cuz the stars the stars they will shine, they will guide you through the night
as long as you believe the sun will rise, oh oh
Cuz the stars the stars they will shine, they will guide you through the night
as long as you believe the sun will rise
Cuz the stars the stars they will shine, they will guide you through the night
as long as you believe the sun will rise, oh oh oh.
