gutlemonade I've been a huge fan of Jack for a few years now. I'm a kid, so I couldn't have gotten into his old videosongs when they first came out, and watching them all now makes me feel like walking through a graveyard. Wish he was still making them, or people were still watching them as much as at their height. I honestly haven't ever heard another artist like Jack - either with the same passion or the same sound. The feeling he puts into his music is really just raw and astounding, and you can see it in his singing. There's nothing more deserving of a 'hero hits rock bottom' scene than his music. I know he probably won't ever see this, but Jack, if you do: thank you for everything. I genuinely think your music is the best stuff I've ever found on youtube. It means so much to me, even though I can never be a part of whatever lively fan base existed back when the songs were released. You're truly genre defining. Thanks Jack.

lyrics

Hey kid, c’mon down, quit collecting clouds! You’re much better off catching worms from the ground. Now sit, type, and stare at a pretty, new screen. And all hail the voice that wakes up your dreams, that wakes up your dreams. You can go anywhere while you sleep in your bed, but when you wake up, shake it all from your head. Slip on a smile and a tie, and force down some coffee, and all hail the boy who swallows his screams. The road is long and dark, cutthroat, cold and harsh. That’s just the way it is. So all hail the pearls that flow from those lips. Are you choking from all the dust in the street? And are you sick of living life two days a week? Well the carousel spins in an infinite course, so all hail the kid who jumps off his horse, who jumps off his horse! Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!!
