"I Blew A Wish" is a mid-paced country rock song that acts as a wonderful showcase for Suzanne’s powerful and versatile voice. Starting out with some bluesy harmonica that sets an authentic, rootsy vibe Suzanne then enters and delivers a knockout vocal performance. Holding back on the first verse she gets to unleash the Adele-esque power of her voice on the explosive, uplifting and memorable chorus.
Lyrically, the message is positive and empowering (“Leave those regrets behind”) but also expresses the harder side of life (“Another shot of whisky to get me through”) and Suzanne has the ability to convey strong emotion in her singing in a way that truly resonates in the listener, which is what separates the great singers from the good ones, in my opinion" - The Faulkner Review
Lyrics
I Blew A Wish – Original Song
Lost inside my wandering mind
I was praying in the sand
When this little book filled with spells
Took me to the promised-land
I blew a wish into the universe, amongst the stars
Hoping that the life I dreamed of wasn’t very far
Over that loneliness aching inside of me
Bumpy roads and cloudy skies had made it hard to see
Sobbing through my pain I saw the eyes I once adored
But fate had tarnished all the color / Left me crawling on the floor…
(Chorus)
Leave those regrets behind / Pay attention to the signs
Wish I could’ve hit rewind
Leave those regrets behind / Pay attention to the signs
Wish I could’ve hit rewind / I blew a wish amongst the stars
Breathing deep I closed my eyes so tight thought I could see
The heavens shining with the sun white light on me
A broken heart has to trust in love no matter how it bleeds
The sands of time will lead the way so my past can set me free
(Bridge)
My eyes were a cold shade of blue
Another shot of whiskey to get me through
(Chorus)
Leave those regrets behind / Pay attention to the signs
Wish I could’ve hit rewind
Leave those regrets behind / Pay attention to the signs
Wish I could’ve hit rewind / I blew a wish amongst the stars
