The Reason - Hoobastank

“Me & The Music”
(Written by Ja’Net “Jan Bran” Brantley, Composed and Arranged by Ja’Net “Jan Bran” Brantley, Performed by Ja’Net “Jan Bran” Brantley)


Talking: I’m gon’ take this time right here to express myself in a song for my English Composition class, (sung) but nevertheless I’m gonna do it right...

Verse 1: 
I knew what I wanted to do
The first time stepping foot in my school’s music room
The melody ran through my body
And it moved in me
Where I let it live for free
Took that melody home with me that night
Practiced all night long ‘til I felt that I had it right
And the look on my mama’s face, when I performed it for her, did say
That me and you, music, we’re going all the way

Chorus:
Just me and music
And I’m gonna sing our song (2x)

Verse 2:
Now, at nine years old
My brother gave me a gift that really, really touched my soul
Mary J. Blige, ‘What’s The 411?’
And if I can really tell it, ya’ll
It was a real love I reminisce on
Coming straight from school to rehearse every song
Oh, Mary, Mary quite contrary
Singing hip-hop with hair of gold
Taught me how to sing it with so much soul
And, there, the second half of my story goes

Chorus:
Just me and music
And I’m gonna sing our song (2x)

Vamp:
So, what really did it for me
I started singing in church
And I saw the energy that singing brought to the people
And it made me so happy
Then I learned to make my own melodies
I started producing all my own music
And I can say that me and the music
Have the happiest, everlasting, union
Me and my music...
(background sings): Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music (4x)
Note: This song contains no samples, interpretations, interpolations, loops, or other elements belonging to any existing composition.

On The Spot Mixtape Volume 3

Positive Energy - Sikwitit ft -topic x Bobby Sessions

"It's the story of 2 people who can't officially be together because they are in other situations but it doesn't prevent them from finding time for each other. This duet manages to find these incredible moments where we both find spots to express this feeling individually and together".
 - Gene Noble

“I Was So Sure Of Myself, I Put Myself In Danger”

That’s how Phantom Planet frontman Alex Greenwald describes for Alex the downside of a little hubris during the creative process. He’s joking about being in danger, but he’s serious about feeling so self-assured about one’s work that it doesn’t allow creative input in from others. In this conversation, Greenwald talks to Green about silencing the critical voice, how he’s become better at collaboration and how his home state of California has influenced his work. He also talks about the 12 year gap between Phantom Planet albums, how he’s coping with Sheltering In Place and he found stillness by escaping from Hollywood...
