about

This is a live version of a song written by Jenny called "It Happened Today" recorded live in 2015. Jenny performed this song live at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, MI.

Jenny taught cello and strings for many years at Blue Lake in the summer.

Jenny dedicated this live version to her daughter Becca Spurbeck.

Jenny sang and played keyboards. She also invited her good friends BettyAnne Gottlieb (violin), Judy Palac (violin), Molley Rebeck (cello) and John Rebeck (bass) as a quartet to back her during this performance.

This live performance was performed before the release of the studio version of "It Happened Today" which was released on her debut EP "Moments" on February 20, 2016.

lyrics

Walkin' on the railroad
Just passin' the time
Think I’ll stop a while
Read the writing on the wall
Those words could never be mine
But you don’t know how much
I live to just be here
That picture in my mind
It’ll never disappear

It happened today

Lookin' up at blue skies
And feelin' the touch
Of sun and something else
Time is standing still
But my head keeps spinning around
And you don’t know just how
To keep it all inside
No one’s looking now
It can all be opened wide

It happened today

Not because of you
But because
I live for today
Not what was
Or what could’ve been
Wasting my life away
I live for today
For the moment
For the words I’ll never say
Don’t forget
It’s not because of you
Not because of you
It happened today

Tuck away the secret
For the world
The world will never know
Even just the breeze
Reminds me that I’m free
But you don’t know how good
It feels to sweep it all away
Its beauty is revealed
And forever kept this way

It happened today

Rain that fell
And filled the corners of my
Life became the part of me
Turned sorrow into
Light shines in every moment
that happens today

​It happened today
