Me & My Song SE1 Episode 2
“Come Alive”
PART 1:
Join Jessica Leia as she performs her song “Come Alive,” in its most raw form … err, its sort of most raw form. Don’t worry, she’ll explain all that whilst also telling you about the birds and the bees and why this song was born! (Don’t worry, it’s rated PG). It’s an all-star cast in PART 1 of this episode, so join Cowboy Girl, Debbie Downer and others as they take the stage alongside Jessica Leia to animate the stories and the reasons behind a song that she will sing with multiple selves. (She may have a condition). Please enjoy the music - as well as kisses from aliens and educated fleas - while Jessica takes you on this tilt-a-whirl of a ride!
PART 2:
Jessica Leia and her sidekick/bass guitar player, Rob McCloskey, take the stage to perform the song “Come Alive” ... well … live! But before they rock and roll for you, enjoy getting a mini music lesson while you learn that in any given song, the dominant is as far away from the galactic center as it can possibly get. No, really… it is. Naturally, Jessica will start the conversation off by chopping a giant, mutant zucchini. And of course, she will end the conversation by chopping something out of the song that ensures it will never have babies … “The Chopping Block” can be a dangerous place!
PART 3:
Jessica Leia and the band head on over to Dean K Productions in Oakland, CA! … Or is it Dean K Studios? Or is it Dean K Productions? Or is it Dean K Studios? Well, Jessica doesn’t really know where she is. But wherever the heck it’s all happening, there is a whole lot of love and plenty of snarky-ness to go around while she and the guys record the basic instrumental tracks for “Come Alive”. Enjoy taking a peek behind the scenes as real-life, professional musicians continually bicker about who’s right about what and take 500 gabillion takes before finally capturing the perfect one!
PART 4:
Ms. Jessica Leia hangs out over at Dean K productions again this week. But this time, it’s in the vocal booth! Watch (and listen) while Jessica records the final vocals for this month’s song, “Come Alive”. She only acts like a diva a couple of times before confessing to autotuning all of her vocals. What?? Just kidding… sort of. PLUS, you get to find out what comping is! Not camping – comping. (Don’t worry, it’s not as technical as it sounds). And of course, once everything is said and done… err, sang and done, Jessica will present to you, an amazing rock star video, showcasing the final version of “Come Alive” and Jessica in fish nets (not that that’s anything new).

THE SONG
If you have too much going on in your life, you are going to feel this month’s song: “Come Alive” … You’re going to feel it regardless, as Jessica Leia sings her heart out in this upbeat tune! With a 1960’s pop meets R&B kind of feel, this anthem of a song tells the tale of a busy-ness we all know so well and reminds us to just “leave the messes”. Which is ironic, of course, because this is EXACTLY the kind of song you want to dance and sing to while you’re cleaning the house on Sunday!
