Nashville songwriter Tenille Townes asks God “why?” in probing new song “Jersey on the Wall”
Tenille Townes' new single "Jersey on the Wall" finds the songwriter asking tough questions of her faith., she introduced herself as the kind of songwriter who was unafraid to tackle the most difficult of subjects. Her first single, “Somebody’s Daughter,” told the story of a homeless woman through precise and potent lyrics full of empathy. Then there was “Jersey on the Wall,” written as a reflection on grief and how great loss can challenge one’s faith.
I had taken a trip to New Brunswick, playing at middle schools and high schools across Canada, and my adventures took me to this tiny little island. I played a show for the school and the parents, and a teacher afterwards explained to me that part of the reason they brought me there was to be a part of this grieving process. There had been a fluke car wreck, and Danielle, the valedictorian and star basketball player, had been taken in the accident.
Yes, it’s a very interesting time and I really believe those questions are completely allowed and normal and very much human. Validating those questions is such an interesting thing to give people permission for. Music kicks open those doors to the places we are scared to go ourselves. I always feel like it’s such an honor to get to hear people talk about it. You can tell when they walk up to you with their eyes down, or they are talking and then they get this bit of courage. It’s always an honor and I always try to ask people what the name of the person [they lost] is, and give them a hug and say a momentary prayer. It’s a very crazy thing to carry and feel like people can come up to me and maybe get it off their chest.
