about

I’m Not Coming Home is the second single from Newcastle vocalist Jacob Ridgeway, following from the release of his award winning debut single ‘Bullyman’ which was released to acclaim in July 2019.

I’m Not Coming Home gives a subtle nod to Jacob’s Indigenous heritage while still remaining contemporary and fresh with an electronic blues feel. Jacob’s raspy yet soulful vocals then sweep the listener away.

I wasn't raised this way, I should've known better//

Caught in the crossfire of love//

I'm not coming home//

The track was co-written with Ryan Cornish during the 2017 DAG Sheep Station Writers Retreat. The brooding lyrics describe a journey of straying from one's self whilst blending the tragic demise of late songstress Amy Winehouse through her point of view. Lyrics are derived from the co-writers own trials, tribulations & perceptions of the documentary 'Amy'.

I’m Not Coming Home provides a contemporary pop/electronic fusion of soulful vocals, with country inspired storytelling unique to Jacob’s artistry and provides further insight to what we can expect from him in the future.

lyrics

I wasn’t raised this way
I should’ve known better
But the grim is knocking at my door
I see him though the window

Times are hard now
If you been what I've been through
Tears in an empty cell
Hope she's doing well

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Gave in to the devil
I learned to be numb
But the poison they fed me
It fucked me up

Sinful desire
Blinded by smoke
I was feeling all alone
And that's all she wrote

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
