Henry Jaxson Jr. - I’ll Wait

Henry Jaxson Jr.’s passion for music started at the age of 8. He draws inspiration of the classic 80’s glam metal era to the Seattle Grunge scene.

Jaxson’s new track I’ll Wait is a heartfelt, stripped-down ballad that shows off his raw talent. The track is about waiting for someone who isn’t quite on the same page, and it hits you right in the heart. The acoustic guitar keeps it simple, letting his voice and the lyrics take the spotlight. Lines like “I’m waiting all night for your call” and “What do you expect me to do” creates a sense of longing and we feel the protagonists ongoing frustrations.

It’s the kind of song you can really connect with if you’ve ever been in that headspace of waiting for someone to come around. And considering he’s only 16, it’s incredible how much emotion he packs into such a simple acoustic setup.

What really stands out in I’ll Wait is Jaxson’s maturity as a songwriter. Despite his age, the way he captures that feeling of waiting for someone, being caught between hope and uncertainty, feels incredibly authentic. You can feel the frustration building in each line and the desperation he feels to wait it out. The acoustic keeps the track simple and creates a raw vibe that lets the lyrics breathe. It’s impressive how much emotional depth Jaxson brings to the table, showing that he’s not just a young artist—he’s someone who really gets what it means to put your heart on the line.
