I love NakeyJakey. I really enjoy all of his content and I respect him a lot as a creator. I waited really patiently for ROMCOM, and while I didn't like the album as a whole, this track really stood out to me. I had my heart broken a couple of days before this dropped, so the timing was impeccable. It really left a mark on me, and the way the song flows and the beat are amazing. Making a Drum and Bass version is just my way to show my respect to another indie musician. Also it's super easy for me to identify with whatever Jakey says since we're the same age. It's kinda weird to think about that. Hey Jakey if you seeing this please don't sue me or C&D me I'm just having fun.
lyrics
That moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy
And the only thing in focus is you and this person
What if it's a rom-com? Baby, we could get away
Be my Meg Ryan and I'll be your Tommy Hanks
I know people die young and your friends fade away
But I'm your Jakey Matthew Christensen McConaughey
I could be the ten days that you never wanna lose
Be the ten things that they hate about you
It don't gotta be this way
Just rewind the tape back to the meet-cute
View it from the top any time that you need to, babe
"Jakey, Jakey, Jakey, can't you see?
You're the one I want, baby, you're my everything
How could I forgive you if you ever leave?
So don't you ever leave, you said you'd never leave"
Yeah, but also, you said things I'm not even gon' repeat
So let's hit pause on this CD and skip to yo' side of the street
Actually, let's never speak
Actually, let's never stop, yo' voice is livin' in my mouth and it refuses to get out
Hasn't paid the rent in months, it haunts these syllables I speak
Hear the seconds it would take to make you laugh and nearly pee
Looked at photos so damn long, I swear they started staring back
Okay, I'm taking all that back, okay, I'm not taking it back
Probably never gonna work and that's a pill that I can take
Mix it with my Lexapro and take you on a double date
Never speak another word, my lips are sealed and missing yours
So before forever ends
What if it's a rom-com? Baby, we could get away
Be my Meg Ryan and I'll be your Tommy Hanks
I know people die young and your friends fade away
But I'm your Jakey Matthew Christensen McConaughey
I could be the ten days that you never wanna lose
Be the ten things that they hate about you
It don't gotta be this way
Just rewind the tape back to the meet-cute
View it from the top any time that you need to, babe
If I never need you, why you always on my mind?
If I never feel you, why you waitin' right behind?
If I never see you, why you always in my eyes?
If I never really knew you, why can't I say goodbye?
Heard you got a new man in your life, well, that's fine
Hope he gives you "XO," three O's in a line
Hope you're happy all the time when his lips touch yours
But before forever ends
It's the feeling when the DJ finally plays your favorite song
It's the feeling when the sun comes up that you haven't seen in so long
It's the middle of the night with the morning dew
605 or the 212
Even after I'm gone, what if it's all a rom-com?
It's the feeling when the DJ finally plays your favorite song
It's the feeling when the sun comes up that you haven't seen in so long
It's the middle of the night with the morning dew
605 or the 212
Even after I'm gone, what if it's all a rom-com?
What if it's a rom-com? Baby, we could get away
Be my Meg Ryan and I'll be your Tommy Hanks
I know people die young and your friends fade away
But I'm your Jakey Matthew Christensen McConaughey
I could be the ten days that you never wanna lose
Be the ten things that they hate about you
It don't gotta be this way
Just rewind the tape back to the meet-cute
View it from the top any time that you need to, babe

Originally written and produced by Jakey
Weird composition and bad sound design is what defines M4v3r1cX, an indie producer from a forgotten country at the edge of the world. Electrorock, Synthpunk, EDM, Drum and bass, Rock and Metal. Proudly pansexual so get your pans away from me π³οΈβπ
Might be one of the best independent releases I've ever listened to. Late 90s/Early 2000s, Radiohead-esque ass music. Absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone. Fav track is Laputa. M4v3r1cX
Sonic fucking Mayhem was the creator of the quintessential Quake 2 and 3 soundtracks. Absolute blend of metal and electronica and industrial and rocktronica and rust and guts (see what I did there?) M4v3r1cX
VNV Nation is actually one of my influences when composing. Amazing juxtaposition of symphonic voice and dark electro beats. Space and Time is one of my all time favorite tracks. M4v3r1cX
