Music.

Page 630

Music.

It's always been a part of me.

I breathe music.
I feel music.
I live for music.

If you're close to me, you'd probably know that I'm a big fan of JoJo.

I grew up with her music, originally introduced by my cousin.
She's the reason I love music.
She's the reason I do what I love.

Back then, 'Too Little Too Late' was one of the biggest Pop songs of my generation.
And it made me generate feels I've never felt before.
I played it every single day.
Memorised the words.
Watched her videos.
I was in awe of how strong her artistry was.

And then, she disappeared.

I did my research. Year after year.
She said she was 'working on new music'.
She released mixtapes.
Lots of amazing leaked songs.
Did commercials.
Acted.
But still no third album.
And then eventually she went to social media on her situation.
'#FreeJoJo' campaign was something I strongly promoted.
And thus, began the war against her formal label.
I was anxious. We all were. That she was being held captive.
But she stayed focused and persevered.

And then. 2014 came. 
I was in my classroom when the news came.
JoJo was freed.
She signed a new contract.
I was so fucking happy.

More EPs came. 
#LoveJo and #LoveJo2 were amazing.
It inspired me to make my own mixtapes.
Her Tringle EP helped me through my darkest moments.
During my depression last year.
She was back.
She went through a lot.
She broke up with her bf before her tour. And then, her Dad passed away.
I felt her grief through social media. The pics she posted. Her captions.
Still, being the fighter she is, she fought through.
She started anew from the beginning of 2016.
Scrapped through her current material.
And started from scratch (Cause why not? so many versions of the third album already).
This time, it was clear. She had to be true to herself.
Mad Love was created.

Today, it officially drops. It topped the iTunes Pop Charts.
I'm so fucking proud of her.
She deserves this. And everything more.


I'm gonna continue to support her.
And I hope, one day,
My turn will come too.

Love, Eran.

Who would I be without you?
Current Song Mood: JoJo - Music.

I used to hear the voices through the thin walls
Tension building up and I'd feel so small
Some nights I'd hide under the pillows 'cause I didn't know what else to do
Started singing just to get some attention
A melody to cut through the addiction
And every song I made turned into wishes
Some of them came true

Everyone rises, everyone falls
Everyone spends some nights alone
Rich or for poor
I'm always yours
You never left me on my own

Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

We were never rich not even thousands
Mom was on her knees cleaning houses
I used to go to work with her some days
And dream and dance in the big hallways

Everyone's scared, everyone's scarred
Everyone spends some nights alone
But every high, every low
You never left me on my own

Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I'd rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?

Went on the road to make my daddy proud
But I lost him and then I sang to the crowd
My only hope is that he's looking down thinking
"Oh my God, my daughter's doing it now"

Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I'd rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?
