about

Jim Chorley is back in a one-man assault on the misery of 2020, determined to bring a little positivity to the lives of music lovers everywhere. Nearly New is a nearly new song, which close fans of Jim may recognise from a live version all the way back from the halcyon days of 2018 which seem a lifetime ago. The song is about a heart that has lived and loved, picking up plenty of ache on the way, but has now found someone with the grace to heal it and teach it to love again. Frankly the thought of finding solace after dark times is one that we can all probably identify with. This version has an updated arrangement which breathes new life into a song that was already among Jim's finest. With this kind of purple patch from Jim Chorley to enjoy, at least 2020 has given us one thing to be grateful about.

lyrics

1, My heart it has been worn
It's been tattered frayed and torn
It has loved and it has loved
and I thought it's time had gone
what was wounded has been healed
and all heartache it is through
cos when I'm standing next to you...

2, It's wearing at the seams
It's faded and its creased
It's been loyal and it's been true
and I thought it's time had ceased
What with all the hurt it's felt and all it has been through
But when I'm lying here with you

my heart is nearly new ...
yeah it's nearly new

I can feel it in my chest and it's beating loud and strong
and I've been blessed and nothing less
by your precious love...

3, It's been stitched and darned and sewn
you've mended every hole
the pieces they are back in place
now my heart is home
what was wounded has been healed
and all heartache it is through

cos when I'm standing next to you
lying here with you
when I'm holding you...

My heart is nearly new
nearly new...

cos when I'm holding you
My heart is nearly new
