Lola Parks - It'll Be All Right (Los Angeles)

Introducing Lola Parks Live from the 2024 LA Sync Summit at El Cid, Silverlake, Los Angeles.

Lola does her pitch, then sings "It'll Be All Right", a song based on Billie Holiday's struggles and strife, as a woman, a black woman, a black woman in the music industry, as well as her troubles with esteem and substances. It also speaks to today's suicide and opioid crises, but Parks maintains an optimism that we will get through this, and more, together. #wewillgetthrough #itllbeallright #femalesingersongwriter #Canadianfemalesingersongwriter #LolaParks

Lyrics:
I remember how you looked that night
Standing in the rain by the road
You know, I’m just a sucker
For hearing you laugh
And I can still see your grin stretch across the sky
We thought we’d live forever

I can still hear you laughing like it was yesterday

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right

Can’t shake the feeling
Can’t find the meaning
In how abruptly early you were taken
Can’t stop the thinking
Spirit keeps on thinking
Heart’s still beating but it’s been forsaken

I can still hear you laughing like it was yesterday

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right

I’d give anything – just to have you around
I’d give anything – not to see you go down
I’d give anything – round and round, round and round
I’d give anything, I’d give anything
Why is it the best die young and the most hurt are the most strong? It just don’t seem right

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right
It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna show ‘em a fight anyway
They may never see the light, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right
