I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Jesta

🎉 Wild nights always leave something behind... but what's the WORST part?

✨ Finding glitter everywhere
👕 Waking up in a stranger’s shirt
🤯 Not remembering the best parts

This song is for you party people who love a good night out, and sometimes suffer in the mornings.

The Lost Night at The Neon Grind

“Japanese Fighting Fish” is the latest rock-pop earworm from Jesta, the genre-blending solo project of UK musician and producer Bryan Page. Catchy, sharp, and emotionally charged, the song uses the vivid metaphor of Japanese fighting fish to explore love turned combative in close quarters. The track channels the angst of a breakup through a neon lens of melodic hooks and power-pop energy. Jesta’s trademark sound: hook-heavy, heartfelt, and smartly arranged has made him a hidden gem in the indie scene, and this track is a perfect showcase of his knack for mixing storytelling with undeniable singalong appeal.

Japanese Fighting Fish

This one is for anyone who feels the distance growing in the glow of a screen. "The Drift" was born from that frantic, anxious feeling of watching real connections erode, replaced by the hollow hum of a digital feed. It's about the space that opens up between people not with a bang, but with a silent scroll.

I wanted to capture that specific modern ache - the paradox of being more "connected" than ever while feeling utterly isolated. The verses paint the picture of that loneliness, of stories "bought and sold" and promises that "don't ring true." It's easy to feel like we're all just "islands in a rising tide."

But this isn't just a song of despair. The bridge is the turning point, the moment of defiance. It's the realisation that while the current is strong, we are stronger together. The final chorus is a promise and a battle cry. We can choose to "hold the line." We can choose to fight the pull of the drift and find our way back to each other.

I channelled the raw, theatrical energy of bands like My Chemical Romance because this fight needs that same urgency and grand emotion. It's a fist-in-the-air anthem against the silent separation, a reminder that the way back home is always there, waiting for us to remember we have a choice.

Play it loud. Hold the line.

The Drift

This was written as a theme tune for my friend's podcast The Car Cast (www.thecarcast.com) - as usual I overdid it and ended up with a complete song.

Mean Streets of Seattle - Jesta

Scully said we couldn't marry
Scully said she hadn't time
And though she's know by millions
I wish everybody knew that she was mine

Scully said she had a secret
And things that she could never tell
And if she ever confessed her love for me I would burden them as well

CHORUS
She taught me how to fly
She opened my mind
And never once did I ever doubt that loving her was better
Than living alone

Scully said that she'd forget me
There wasn't room inside her mind
When all you do is everything it's sometimes hard to even fill the time

REPEAT CHORUS

(It's a case that won't remain unsolved)
If I have my way
(I wouldn't be left out here in the cold)
If I had my way
(It's a case that won't remain unsolved)

CHORUS
She taught me how to fly
(If it's only an actress playing a role)
She opened my mind
(Then can I say heaven help my soul)
And never once did I ever doubt that loving her was better
(And bless my remote control)
Than living alone

She's all I want and better
When will I ever learn?

And I never will forget her
She's with me at every turn

Scully knows she made me happy
Scully turned on my T.V.

Jesta is the musical alter-ego of Bryan Page from Morecambe, United Kingdom specializing in genre-hopping Power Pop. Giving birth to quirky, entertaining songs that make you want to dance, laugh or say huh? wtf? Jesta isn't too concerned with getting too deep and meaningful - who has time for all that anyway? Let's party! Though essentially a one-man project, occasionally some fantastic guest artists are brought into the mix including some of the best session musicians in the U.K. Bryan has close to 20 years production experience and has learnt from, and befriended, some of the busiest people in the industry today.

Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1975 Bryan was bottle-fed music by The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra and Earth Wind &amp; Fire along with classic 70's rock. Growing up the in the 80's Bryan was interested in record production at a very early age, mentally deconstructing albums by the likes of Bucks Fizz and Adam &amp; The Ants. Eventually he began experimenting with reel-to-reel tape recording and learning classical guitar. As a teenager he learned his chops in Rock covers bands as lead guitarist and part-time vocalist.

The concept of Jesta began as a name for Bryan's personal music projects at around the same time as he began work in a recording studio, shortly before leaving school. Honing his production and vocal skills over the years, it is now time for Jesta to conquer the world or at least earn enough money to buy a couple of sandwiches!
