This song's for everyone who supported me on my Australia's Got Talent 2019 journey where I made Grand Final Top 4. Couldn't have done it without you!

This song really speaks to me on so many levels. We all know what it means for Celine. Perhaps you've faced the loss of a loved one, or maybe you're just "staring in the face of something new." Whatever it is, you WILL find YOUR Courage, too. https://www.instagram.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist https://www.facebook.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist https://www.soundcloud.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist Lyrics: I would be lying if I said: "I'm fine" I think of you at least a hundred times 'Cause in the echo of my voice I hear your words Just like you're there I still come home from a long day So much to talk about, so much to say I love to think that we're still making plans In conversations that'll never end In conversations that'll never end Courage, don't you dare fail me now I need you to keep away the doubts I'm staring in the face of something new You're all I got to hold on to So, courage, don't you dare fail me now Not one to hide from the truth, I know It's outta my hands but I won't let you go There's no replacing the way you touched me I still feel the rush Sometimes it drowns me 'til I can't breathe Thinking it's only in our memories But, then I talk to you like I did then In conversations that will never end Courage, don't you dare fail me now I need you to keep away the doubts I'm staring in the face of something new You're all I got to hold on to So, courage, don't you dare fail me now 'Cause it's not easy when you're not with me This world of madness goes faster now And it's a train wreck but I won't crash yet Long as your echo never fades out Courage, don't you dare fail me now 'Cause it's not easy when you're not with me This world of madness goes faster now And it's a train wreck but I won't crash yet Long as your echo never fades out Courage, don't you dare fail me now

One of the things I love about Indonesian ballads is their timeless quality. I hear all the sounds of the great bands and producers of the 80's and early 90's echoed in the arrangements. This song is like a musical showcase in the style of David Foster, Peter Cetera and others. I'm so glad people are still writing songs like this. Thanks to Bram Manusama for giving us the literal Indonesian to English translation from which we then crafted this English interpretation. I think we captured the soul of the song. I hope you like my version. -Jen You can also follow me here - https://www.instagram.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist https://www.facebook.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist https://www.soundcloud.com/JenniferAndersonVocalist Lyrics Chorus 1 Even though we're always together We're just friends But my heart won't believe it. So why must I pretend? I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way What if ours is a gift from up above? Oh forgive me, but I'm already in love Verse The thrill of your smile Only delays the pain... I feel To think of life without you If in the end it's true That she's the one for you Please tell me Why are you here with me? You make everything so beautiful How could I ever let you go? Chorus 2 Even though we're always together we're just friends But my heart won't believe it. So why must I pretend? I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way What if ours is a gift from up above? Oh forgive me, but I'm already in love Bridge If there is a chance You could feel the way I do Is it wrong for me to hope That maybe I could spend my life with you, in love Chorus 3 Oh my heart won't believe it. So why must I pretend? I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way What if ours is a gift from up above? Oh forgive me, but I'm already in love Last Chorus Even though we're always together we're just friends In my heart I'm still hoping… for something I don’t want this love to end I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way What if ours is a gift from up above? Oh forgive me... but I'm already in love No I can’t forget… I’m already in love

Hanya Rindu is a beautiful song by Indonesian artist, Andmesh. Written as he processed the grief of losing his mother, this cover is an adaptation of the English translation made by Emma Heesters. I know it will resonate with many; the challenge we all face when losing a loved one, of having to move on through our lives without them in it. If that's part of your journey today, may you be comforted. XxJen.

Amazingly, I made it to the Grand Final where I gave it my all.

After this performance I was awarded a Golden Buzzer from guest judge, Hans. I hope you like it.

Well, everyone has a story and this is little bit of mine. I walked away from singing in 2008 and threw myself into being a mother to my two boys. The how and why I got up to perform for Australia's Got Talent after all that time is another story in itself, but I did it. Was I nervous? Terribly; and full of self doubt. But life is short and dreams don't have a 'used by' date.
