about

Abby London, acclaimed singer-songwriter, releases a deeply personal and moving tribute song, "I Wanna Go," dedicated to the memory of a cherished cousin, Lindsey. This heartfelt composition, set to release on December 9th, 2023, captures the pain and loss experienced when Lindsey passed away in February 2019.

The journey began with the worst phone call Abby London ever received, a call on that fateful February day where her father delivered the devastating news of Lindsey's passing. Though Abby hadn't seen Lindsey in a couple of years, there was once a time when she was closer to her than anyone else in the family. The news was shattering, leading Abby to let out a scream that echoed with the depth of her grief.

Visits to Idaho, staying with grandparents and aunts, became a ritual of shared tears and conversations. Lindsey's loss left an indelible mark, a pain that Abby still grapples with, feeling as if it wasn't entirely real.

In a cathartic response to the grief, Abby London penned "I Wanna Go" as a tribute to Lindsey, incorporating a heartfelt poem written by her brother and sentiments expressed by other family members. The title of the song, inspired by a childhood memory shared by Lindsey's mom, encapsulates the spirit of a young Lindsey who eagerly wanted to be a part of every journey, no matter how mundane, even a trip to the dump.

"I Wanna Go" is a musical memorial, a touching composition that pays homage to Lindsey's life, struggles, and the love shared within the family. Abby London hopes this song not only serves as a tribute to Lindsey but also resonates with those who have experienced the profound pain of losing a loved one.

The release of "I Wanna Go" is a poignant reminder of the power of music to heal and commemorate, turning grief into a tribute.

Listen to "I Wanna Go" by Abby London on streaming starting December 9th, 2023, and join in the remembrance of a beloved soul.

lyrics

“I Wanna Go”

Her mom and dad wanted a little girl, they did a pencil test then she came into the world
Strong-willed and eyes of blue
Invited to every birthday at school, creating memories was her golden rule
She is loved by everybody she knew
Happy to stay at home surrounded by family, hardly alone
If anyone headed out the door didn’t matter where they were going

She’d say
I wanna go, don’t care where or how. I want a break from what I am doing right now
I wanna try something new, or something I know
Don’t care where is I wanna go

When she grew up she had her own little girls, her greatest joy was having them in her world
They are loved by everybody she knew
Infectious laugh, undeniable light
We all cry as a way of saying “hi”
We feel her in the sunshine and when the flowers bloom

She said
I wanna go, don’t care where or how. I want a break from what I am doing right now
I wanna try something new, or something I know
I don’t care where is she said I wanna go

We all have trouble
We all have stress
We all have heartache
We all want rest

She said
I wanna go, don’t care where or how. I need a break from who I am being right now
I wanna try something new, or something I know
Don’t care where is I wanna go
Don’t care where you take me
I wanna go
