The Wrong Side

“I'm not going to lie, before I went into the Zoom call with Jake and Jordan I was a bit nervous. I was thinking, "What if my mind goes blank and I forget everything I wanted to say?" "What if there are awkward silences and I end up babbling on?" Or "What if I end up crying and I get super embarressed?" None of that ended up happening. Okay, I cried, but they made me feel comfortable and heard the entire time. I was wanting my song to be bittersweet and uplifting. I had buried myself in my emotions for so long so I wanted to feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders when I heard my song for the first time. Not only did I feel that I heard it, but I even felt that just after talking with Jake and Jordan. They both listened so well and had all of the right things to say and knew all of the right questions to ask. It was amazing. When I first heard my song I thought, "Oh my goodness, this is BEAUTIFUL. My Grandma would absolutely be in love with this." I then really started focusing on the lyrics and they couldn't have been more perfect. They created the most beautiful image. Maybe this sounds weird, but the creation of that song feels like a new memory created for my Grandma even though she is no longer here. This might sound over the top when I say it, but I mean it when I say that this song changed my life. Music is powerful and I love being able to listen to the song and feel that connection whenever I want to. I am forever grateful for Jake and Jordan for coming up with the beautiful idea of creating custom songs for others and the one they made for me.” - Jana A
