about
Vines of jasmine growing wild in winding Parisian streets and that passionate feeling of new summer romance. Mackenzie Leighton serenades us in her new indie-folk single, “Of Jasmine”, to the sound of delicate electric guitar picking and soft piano melodies lush with reverb. With precise storytelling, Mackenzie Leighton invites the listener into her most intimate memories of falling in love, bringing you into her sun-kissed universe with a voice like honey.
lyrics
Of jasmine in season
Clinging to the worned walls outside
Of your apartment
Of jasmine I remember
And you, oh so tender
With those loving eyes
Of jasmine I remember
The sweet and fragrant city
Of an easy love
Of jasmine I remember
All the lines of Shakespeare
That you made up
Didn’t know you well
Like I do now
My evergreen perennial
You always stay around
Of jasmine in season
And all the dried figs we ate
In that summer heat
Of jasmine I remember
Bringing you to some bistrot
To listen to poetry
Of jasmine I remember
Stayin’ inside together
For days on end
Of jasmine I remember
You cryin on the steps when I left
Saying we’ll stay friends
Didn’t know you well
Like I do now
My evergreen perennial
You always stay around
You always stay around
You always stay around
You always stay around
