Jake writes:
"Time Will Tell" was written on the tail end a rough relationship, but aren’t all good ballads nowadays? This girl asked the world from me and here I was thinking I could give it to her. I wanted to do everything to make that relationship work. She asked me to talk on a deeper level with her and I’m thinking “how the heck do you do that?!” This was the first of many concerns from her and I was on a mission to fix them ALL. I really love this song because it's just pure raw emotion. I’m not trying to be perfect but I want the listener to lose themselves in the words and truly feel what I went through. The chorus is a compilation of all the different feelings I was consumed with, that come thru on my piano playing. Regardless of the outcome of any relationship, I learned a valuable yet poetic lesson. Only time will tell.... Big thanks to all those involved in making my dreams a reality. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's. More content coming out soon ya'll.

Time Will Tell

From my album The Real Thing (2013), produced by Noah Lifschey.

Maryland's own Substantial is back with the self produced single 'Beyond the Stage' featuring Uyama Hiroto and Stephanie Gayle (formerly known as Steph The Sapphic Songstress. This is the third single and only vocal track on Sub's debut instrumental track, 'The Garden'.

Lyrics:
V1 
(Substantial & Stephanie Gayle) 
All I ever wanted was a little fame 
Take care of me and mine off the strength of my name 
Barely wanted one, never needed two chains 
No disrespect to him it just wasn’t my thing 
Words are my art and the beat is my frame 
Former starving artist painting my pain 
Made my family proud of the man I became 
Hopefully, some of yall try to do the same 

(Substantial) 
I learned that… it’s deeper than cheers, deeper than guest appearances 
As deep as your fears, deeper than sample clearances 
Deeper than lights, deeper than camera, action! 
Deeper than mics, deeper than transactions. 
Deeper than fans, deeper than beats and world tours 
Deeper than brands, deep as peace, it’s all yours 
Deeper than sub woofers who knew than love could’ve 
Made a dream liver from onlooker, songs took’em... 

HOOK (Stephanie Gayle) 
Beyond the stage and bright lights 
Come get a better look at our life 
Where every moment isn’t a highlight 
But we’re alright! 

Beyond the stage and bright lights 
Come get a better look at our life 
From the bottom up to the highlife 
Now we’re alright! 

V2 
(Stephanie Gayle) 
Mama can ya’... pray for me now (Won’t he do it) 
So when we.. play we make you proud (And ya’ knew it) 
Never know who we’ll... save from out the crowd (Put’em up) 
Make sure the… bass bangin out loud (Turn it up) 

(Substantial) 
So they feel it from the stage... and beyond 
Ain’t a flow cooler like I’m making freon 
Feel vibes thru the monitor I place my feet on, like ottoman 
So hot I’m Vulcan-ic, no Klingons, I live long 
Prosper, that’s the motto, green room, 
Brown liquor, like pass the bottle, but I’m good though 
Long way from Brightseat Rd, still hood though 
Still make it home regardless of where I could go 
Where good jokes bring the sun out when it’s (cloudy) 
And good folks show you love but come off (rowdy) 
I grab the mic for PG and rep it (proudly) 
They were looking for the real and they (found me)...

Hey everyone! This is my original song, In The Dark.

It's about how everyone thinks that I'm super happy all the time and I am generally happy for the most part, but shooo...ya girl goes through tough times too. It's not like I try to be something I'm not or anything, I just try not to let the negativity get to me, so I appear to be happy and "bubbly"...and I don't disagree with that, but like, I get sad too lol. I've actually battled with severe depression in the past and it still creeps up every so often, so that's what this is about.

I recorded, played/sung, and attempted to mix and master lol. I'm still getting the hang of Logic, but I hope you guys like it.

There's a video too!!! Go check it out: https://youtu.be/igRjVehfOhM
