Nick Jonas Debuts "London (Foolishly)"

6/17/2010

Nick Jonas strums on his guitar and sings a soft melody as he debuts his new song, “London (Foolishly)” during Cambio’s first chat from London on Thursday afternoon (June 17).

The 17-year-old actor/musician just wrote the tune a couple of days ago, posting on his Twitter account: “‘Another foggy night in London town/all the dreamers are asleep/but know one understands what I have found/no not even me.’ That’s the first line. Its really cool can’t wait for you guys to hear it.”

I love this song! Nick sings and plays it so well. The lyrics, vocals, and melody are just so amazing and catchy. I also love how it’s acoustic. I wonder if it’ll be on the next Administration album or future Jonas album. Hopefully it will, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Incredible job, Nick! :)

MJ- Another foggy night in London town
Where all the dreamers are asleep
No one understands what I have found
No not even me
Foolishly I fall
To the obvious pattern of it all
Carelessly I stop
A thing can change with just a friend that never called
Tragedy’s alright
When it means we count the blessings in our life
Could it be that I now stand corrected
Could it be that I now stand deflected by this blinding light
Blinding light
Big Ben breathing down my neck again
I feel my time just running out
All this baggage that I’m carrying
It’s time lay it down
Hey
Foolishly I fall
To the obvious pattern of it all
Carelessly I stop
A thing can change with just a friend that never called
Could it be that I now stand corrected
Could it be that I now stand deflected
A cup of tea out on my own tonight
Now I’m changing by this blinding light, yeah
Foolishly I fall
To the obvious pattern of it all
Carelessly I stop
A thing can change with just a friend that never called
Could it be that I now stand
Could it be that I change by this blinding light
Blinding light…
Favorite line- Tragedy’s alright when it means we count the blessings in our life.

can I please shake the hand of whoever is giving nick j voice lessons in preparation for les mis?! his voice sounds amazing right now. seriously, I have not heard his voice sound THIS good in…. I don’t know….a long time. when he was singing all the NJATA songs, as well as “705″, “I Am What I Am” and “Make It Right”, I was freaking out. MAJOR. he sounded awesome. SO, THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE.
but seriously, “London (Foolishly)” may quickly become be one of my favorite things ever. it is so good.

kendall-
everything you said, I agree with 100%. All I could think about when he was singing during the chat was how this is the best singing Ive heard from him in the longest time. I’m insanely impressed. Also, I adore this song already.

I agree his voice sounded so amazing tonight and I loved his version of Make It Right. It was great to hear that he was the one that wrote it and from experience.

On Cambio it says “Rebroadcast coming soon”, for all the people like me that missed the chat. Hopefully it will be posted within 24 hours of the original broadcast.
And WOW this is an awesome song. And I guess all the classical training and rehearsal is really helping with his vocals because he sounds better than ever.
