I Just Can't Forget

by Lisa Redford

/

about

The moving “I Just Can’t Forget” showcases a country soul influence with rich harmonies, piano, pedal steel guitar and electric guitar.

“It’s fair to say I’ve been really impressed by everything here; not just Lisa’s gorgeously expressive and honeyed voice but her clever and intricate songwriting too; with both combining best of all on my favourite track I Just Can’t Forget, which is a real class act in itself and made me stare at the speakers in wonderment the first time I heard it.”
Rocking Magpie

“The beautiful, slow-burning impact of the pedal-steel coloured “I Just Can’t Forget’ futher displays Redford’s skills. Her ability to pen songs of genuine quality suggests her moment is due very soon.” RnR Magazine

“I Just Can’t Forget and the beautifully intimate closing track Alone Tonight are simply gorgeous tearjerkers. It takes real talent to make such songs not sound overly sentimental and sappy, and Redford pulls it off with class. Like I said: that’s how I prefer my country.” Slim Chance, NL

“I Just Can’t Forget is a soul-tinged song featuring Lisa's silky voice crooning heart aching lyrics. Lush and honeyed but with an edge lurking underneath ... natural and effortless a moody slow burner that is quite irresistible.” Alan Cackett

“I Just Can’t Forget is perhaps the most musically intriguing track of five here. Its sultry intro, featuring the combination of pedal steel and electric guitars, is allowed to thread beautifully through the rest of the song. Acoustic guitar and drums are gradually added, with a dual vocal harmony towards the end completing an impressive musical build. Building Our Own Nashville

“I Just Can’t Forget is one of those songs where country meets soul, another memorable melody and what must rate as some of Lisa’s most heartfelt vocals make this a highlight on the EP. “All the times you won’t remember/I just can’t forget,” sings Lisa and anyone who has loved and lost will relate to this song. It’s another remarkable performance and is in the running as the best song so far we’ve heard from this remarkable talent.”
Penny Black Music

“The more I hear I Just Can't Forget continue the more I fell in love with the song and Lisa's vocal range.” Bring Country to the UK

“reflective, lonely and melancholic piece that can easily be imagined forming part of a soundtrack.” Outline Magazine

"a future classic" The Country Rock Show

“I recommend you check this out” Ralph McLean, BBC Radio Ulster

"I have to say this is just such a lovely song, so well mastered and your voice sounds so tight and crisp it's a pleasure to listen to, for what it's worth I think this track is one of your best and can't wait for the EP" Simply Country

lyrics

I’ve been holding onto memories, so tightly I won’t let them go
Words and pictures they surround me and I’m lying here alone

Thinking of the tender moments ever since the night we met
All the times you won’t remember, I just can’t forget

I’ve been staring out the window
Watching time pass me by
See the blackbird in the oak tree
Makes me wish I could fly

Leaving all the pain behind me
And the hurtful things you said
All those words you won’t remember, I just can't forget

Guess you don’t recall
The meaning of it all and what we used to feel
Now it seems to me, you will always be
With me all the time ooh ooh ooh ooh

I’ve been going to the places, that we walked all of the time
Though for you they’re growing distant
They stay closer in my mind
But I hope you will be happy
Moving on without regret
All those times you won’t remember I just can’t forget
All the things you won’t remember
I just can’t forget
