  • SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR - A Suburban Philosophy (Book only)

    Sportsman Of The Year - A Suburban Philosophy is Jan Hellriegel's 4th studio album, with a unique twist: it is also a beautifully produced book with photos and 12 chapters based on the new songs. She describes Sportsman of the Year as a ‘musical in a book’. The book grew out of her album project when Jan realised the songs were taking a more philosophical, personal direction. She decided to share some stories in parallel with the music, each informed by the other. Includes access to high quality music files. Jan says Sportsman of the Year is about finally arriving at a place where she can look back at failures, disappointments and rejections with a sense of accomplishment and pride, knowing that without them she wouldn't be doing what she is today. It is about following your dreams, and never giving up.

lyrics

MOTHER AND SON

How did I get caught like this?
Tangled up so I can't run
How did I get caught in the cold though I am under the sun?
Without the light of a smile of someone I love

How do I feel so alone?
In a room full of people I know and they're having such fun
How can I raise the bar when it's so far above?
What is the meaning of our nonsensical life?

One step at a time my boy
One foot in front of the other
The journey may take some time to unfold
But you'll get there in the end

How did I fall so far down?
Yesterday I was racing for the sky
How do I pick myself up and make it all right?
How do I face it now?
This wonderful fight

One step at a time my boy
One foot in front of the other
The journey may take some time to unfold
But you'll get there in the end
And all the things you will discover

When you jump on a breeze
It'll comfort and take you there
And know that you're loved
But some things you must do on your own
And I know in my heart
You have all that you need
Oh ah

One step at a time my boy
One foot in front of the other
The journey may take some time I know
But you'll get there in the end
And all the things you will discover
And all the mountains you will climb over time
From up there
You'll see the world
