O-Town 2 - Girl Like That

We’re goin’ out tonight
New shell toes with blue stripes
My braves cap to the side
Faded blue Levi’s
The club pop’s off at 10
But we won’t be there then
Gotta stop at In-And-Out
and get a #3
But hold the onions please

Pullin up to the valet
Though I hate to be that way
But a playa’s gotta play
And V.I.P.
Which girls are coming with me?

[Chorus]

(in a red dress) I want a girl like that
(half undressed) I need a girl like that
(out late night) You need a girl like that
Hey hey hey hey
(with a tongue ring) I want a girl like that
(doin her own thing) I need a girl like that
(a little tattoo) We need a girl like that
Hey hey hey hey

Now we’re up in V.I.P.
Got this honey next to me
And she screams
When the DJ plays
(peaches and cream)
Baby do that dance for me
Get your friends ’round
Two or three
We can rendevous
And do that thing we do
I wanna drink to you

After drinks, it’s time to leave
Go to valet, get my keys
Here’s a fifty, keep the change
Jump in the Range
Which honey’s coming with me?

[Chorus]

Yea it’s a party, girls all around me
It’s a party, we gettin rowdy
It’s a party, it – it’s a party
Clap your hands *clap clap*
Everybody up in the party
Everybody, time to get rowdy
Everybody up in the party
Clap your hands *clap clap clap clap*
(here we go)

Oh my God, it’s 6 am
The party’s comin to an end
She asks me when we will again
Is that a sin?
Tomorrow is her best friend

O-Town 2 - Over Easy

You said that it’s over, over easy
If I let go the pain will subside
’cause sayin’ goodbye’s never pretty
And it’s uglier livin’ a lie
But answer this one thing for me–why…

What did you mean when you said that it’s over
I don’t understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it’s over, overflowing
With dreams that will never come true
You said it’s a good thing that we found out
Maybe better for me than for you
You wish that something in you would do

What did you mean when you said that it’s over
I don’t understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it’s over
Over my head

And I feel like a drowning man
Who’s still begging God for rain
What did you mean

Woah woah yeah

What did you mean
When you said that it’s over
I don’t understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me

Now it’s over
Over easy
If I let go the pain will subside

O-Town 2 - Craving

Lying here on the couch
With my heart in the mouth
Realize you were right I was wrong and
I’m in pieces and bits but that’s nothing you can fix
Cause baby you’re still my addiction

Ohhh
Every minute’s like a thousand years
Since you were lying here

[Chorus:]
In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There’s no time to waste gotta get a taste
Satisfy my need
Baby, won’t you save me
Got this craving for you

For you…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It’s like you live in these walls
I hear your voice down the hall
I swear I see your face it’s everywhere it’s every place
I start myself past the pain but still it won’t go away
The more I try to forget I remember

Ohhh
Every minute’s like a thousand years
Since you were lying here

[Chorus:]
In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There’s no time to waste gotta get a taste
Satisfy my need
Baby, won’t you save me
Got this craving

To lose myself in you and we’re standing in the rain
To keeping you awake through the night
I hunger for your touch
Cause I need you back what’s wrong with that
No I can’t be without you no more

In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There’s no time to waste
Gotta get a taste satisfy my need
Baby won’t you save me

In the middle of the night
I turn on the light
Too desperate to breathe
Cause I get this craving
There’s no time to waste
Gotta get a taste satisfy my need
Baby won’t you save me
Got this craving for you
Craving for you

Lines and Circles - Skydive

I’m seeing you again,
Watching you do all the things we used to do as two
But now it’s only one, it’s you
And I remember when we would go for days
In ways we thought would never end and
Now it’s over, it’s just me

And I don’t like the sound
Of our feet on the ground
Unless we’re running to the edge of something new for you and me

And I just wanna fall again
And I just wanna learn to fly
So I can love you like I never did

Chorus:
And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
We can skydive
Skydive, oh

I wait outside your life
Holding on to memories of everything you were to me
And how I was to you
And do you think of me
Do you feel the way I feel before I sleep I close my eyes
And open them with you

Alone, I don’t belong
You know I’m holding on
And how we’ll let go of the dreams I had
I know they can come true

And I just wanna fall again
And I just wanna learn to fly
So I can love you like I never did

Chorus 2X:
And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
We can skydive
Skydive

Seeing the whole world by your side
Skydive
I’m seeing the whole your by your side

I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side

And I just wanna skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
We can skydive

I wanna Skydive
Right into your life
Seeing the whole world by your side
We can skydive

O-Town 2 - Suddenly

She said it wasn’t my fault
She said we gave it our all
As she walked away
I never saw a girl’s eyes so blue, no
But tell me is there something I can do

Leave another message on the telephone
And you’re parked outside with your headlights on

[Chorus:]
Suddenly you’re standing at my door
And the steps don’t feel like they did before
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song
Suddenly he’s all alone with you
He’s looking in your eyes like I wanted to
I knock four times and pretend you’re not at home
Suddenly I’m all alone
Suddenly I’m all alone

She said it wasn’t the same (she said it wasn’t the same)
You said our life’s been so plain
Then she walked away
Want to make things brand new
Tell me is there something I can do, whoa

Leave another message on the telephone
And you’re parked outside with your headlights on

[Chorus:]
Suddenly you’re standing at the door
And the steps don’t feel like they did before
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song
Suddenly he’s all alone with you
He’s looking in your eyes like I wanted to
I knock four times and pretend you’re not at home
Suddenly I’m all alone

Suddenly I’m all alone…
Suddenly I’m all alone…

The radio’s playing…the radio’s playing…
Suddenly I’m all alone…
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Suddenly you’re standing at my door
And the steps don’t feel like they did before
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song
Suddenly I’m all alone with her
She’s everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I’m not at home

Suddenly you’re standing at my door

And the steps don’t feel like they did before
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song (but it’s not our song)

Suddenly I’m all alone with her
She’s everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I’m not at home

Suddenly you’re standing at my door

And the steps don’t feel like they did before
The radio’s playing loud but it’s not our song (not our song, oh)

Suddenly I’m all alone with her
She’s everything that I wish you were
You knock four times and pretend I’m not at home

O-Town 2 - The Joint

(DJ can you play it as a favour for me?)
[scratch]
(DJ can you play it as a favour for me?)
[scratch]

DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that she shorties keep talkin about
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that makes ‘em get down, get down

Take those
New records off the shelf
‘Cause I ain’t dancin’ by myself
And you’re the only one who can help

Saw this hunnie come through the back door
And I need to get her out on the floor
So get up on to your feet
By breakin you off a drink
‘Cause you know what I came here for..

[Chorus]
DJ can you play it as a favour for me
You know the joint that she shorties keep talkin about
DJ can you play it as a favour for me

Rockin, rockin
Hip hop with rock n roll
Mix it with a lil rhythm and soul
And you know that we’ll be good to go
Uh huh
I think it’s time for the place to get hot

So DJ make the beat drop
You better raise up your glass

And start shakin yo (ahh)
‘Cause the party ain’t about to stop

[Chorus]

I’ma put another dime up in the jukebox
Let the music play all night long
Giving you a taste of southern comfort
Wraped up in a love song
Record man can we do it again?
Press rewind before the joint ends
‘Cause I’m about to put her out of her seat
And i’m hopin she can stand the heat
ohhhhh

[Bridge]

Burnin up, burnin up
The dance floor’s burnin up
Burnin up, burnin up

Burnin up, burnin up
The dance floor’s burnin up
Burnin up, burnin up
The joint’s like burnin up

O-Town 2 - Been Around The World

Hey Yeah Hmmmm

Well it’s been four lonely days and three lonely nights
Looking for my baby but she’s nowhere in sight
See I’ve traveled far and wide
Seen the finest places
What does it all amount to, when there’s no familiar faces

[Chorus:]
See I’ve been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don’t know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
And I can’t even find myself

Hey Yeah
Oh oh

Well I don’t know where I am
And I don’t know who I’m with
All I’m hanging on to is that loving that you give
You see I’ve lost my sense of time
And I got no direction
Sending out a signal
Been trying to get your attention

[Chorus:]
See I’ve been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don’t know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can’t even find myself

Hey you know what I’m talking about
I ain’t the only one who’s feeling down and out

No, there’s no spaces they clutter up my mind
Those wonderful traces
Suddenly there’s no place I can find
My lover my lover
My lover my lover

Yeah yeah ohh

See I’ve been around the world and I
I can’t find my – my lover my lover
Been around
I can’t even find myself

[Chorus:]
See I’ve been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don’t know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don’t know where she can be

See I’ve been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don’t know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can’t find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can’t even find myself

Well it’s been four lonely days and three lonely nights
Looking for my baby but she’s nowhere in sight

O-Town 2 - I Showed Her

It’s catching up to me right now
Everything that I’ve said
The night I left her there
When I said I wanted out
I was angry and upset
And at the time I couldn’t care less about staying there
I had to prove I didn’t care
As much as she thought I did

[Chorus:]
I showed her
I let my pride take me
Far away from the only woman I loved
I showed her
Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I’m all alone
But I showed her

Oh oh oh

I hear that she’s in love
But it took a while for her to get over the hurt
Now I know that I messed up
I was trying to give us time
But I see she took that time to find somebody else
What happened to the things she felt for me
Am I really a part of her past

[Chorus:]
I showed her
I let my pride take me far away
From the only woman I loved
I showed her
Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I’m all alone
But I showed her

Woah oh oh’s

[Chorus]

Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I’m all alone
But I showed her

O-Town 2 - Favourite Girl

Mmmmm, Mmmmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmmmm, Yeah

It was like there she was (she’s so)
This sweet lady (lady)
Man, she was lookin’ so tight
That it drove me crazy (insane)
And I’ll never go over trying
Tryin’ to make this lady (ooohh)

Oh how I wish that I wasn’t so shy
It wasn’t that I, I never had experience in
In chasing ladies (oh no)
Oh did I miss my chance
Hell I must be crazy
If I ever get the chance (the chance)
The chance to see her again
That’s when I’ll tell her that I need her so

[CHORUS:]
She was my favorite girl
She was sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
And I gotta tell her that I wanna make her my baby (my baby)
And if we get the chance (the chance)
The chance to meet, yeah
That’s when I’ll tell her
That I need her so

Now I’m back on the block
In my new Jaguar
Trying to find this lady
Never gonna admit, I won’t stop (til I)
Till I find my baby (baby)

Back down the alley way
I’m going crazy (yeh)
If it ever crossed my mind
That I wouldn’t find this lady

Reality (oohh)
My mind’s playin’ tricks on me (yeh)
How could this be (that she)
She could have this effect on me
Right before my very eyes (there she was)
That’s where I found her
And then I told her
That I need her so

O-Town 2 - These Are The Days

Motel sitting in the dark
Empty room like an empty heart
Lovers stop but they never stay
They don’t look back as they drive away

Maybe I
Fix this broken head light
Fill in the cracks and paint it bright
And maybe love will stop here tonite

And if she knocks on my door
i’ll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and i know i’ll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than i ever thought i could be but

These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don’t wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I’m stuck here in a place without love
And i just can’t let it stay this way
But for now i’m gonna have to face it
These are the days

Gotta use this lonely time
To change the picture in my frame of mind
Outside the window theres a sunny day
I wanna feel it on my face

You and I
Are out looking for the same thing
And these walls of wondering
Waiting for someone to share this feeling

And if she knocks on my door
i’ll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and i know i’ll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than i ever thought i could be but

These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don’t wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I’m stuck here in a place without love
And i just can’t let it stay this way
But for now i’m gonna have to face it
These are the days

These are the days between your hopes and fears
These are the moments that are still locked here
There still inside even if she will not hear
Like it or not this is what i got
Ohhh God

These are the days

When all that i can do is dream
But i don’t wanna spend forever
living in the in between and
I’m stuck here in a place without love
And i just can’t let it stay this way (yeah)
But for now i’m gonna have to face it cause

These are the days

These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don’t wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I’m stuck here in a place without love
And i just can’t let it stay this way
But for now i’m gonna have to face it
These are the days

O-Town 2 - From The Damage

This time I’m done with always screwing up
I’m sick of one direction down
I’m a broken picture frame
My whole world’s twisted inside out
Streaming voices like a hurricane
It’s telling me to wake up
Get out of bed
Put your feet on the floor
There’s fresh air out the door

And I’ve been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball on a string
It’s taking time for me to get it
I’m ready and willing to do anything to make it up to you

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy
I’m standing here all alone
Wishing that I could’ve known
You just can’t walk away
From the damage

Last time I’m playing with a broken string
It don’t matter no one’s listening
Cause losing you has made me see
I’ve gotta change
Gotta blame it
All on me

And I’ve been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball on a string
It’s taking time for me to get it
I’m ready and willing to do anything to make it up to you (oh)

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty (so empty)
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy (heavy yeah)
I’m standing here all alone
Wishing that I could’ve known
That you just can’t walk away
From the damage (damage)

My eyes may as well be blind if I just can’t see you(if I can’t see you)
My hands may as well be tied cause they just can’t touch you (touch you)

Before the smoke can really clear away
From fires I started yesterday
I know I’ve gotta find a way
Somehow I’ve gotta find a way to wake up
From the damage

My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty
My heart weighs like a ton cause it feels so heavy
I’m standing here all alone
Wishing that I could’ve known
You just can’t walk away
From the damage

My eyes may as well be blind if I just can’t see you
My hands may as well be tied cause they just can’t touch you
I’m standing here all alone
Wishing that I could’ve known
You just can’t walk away
From the Damage

I’m standing here all alone
Wishing that I could’ve known
You just can’t walk away
From the damage

Jacob Underwood (O-Town) November, 24. 2013

It's been over 2 years since you first announced the reunion. Why hasn't anything happened yet?

We have been working  hard to do something fun for the fans but we will still have to keep that secret. I'll answer as best as I can without trying to give to much away.

But there is something coming.

It's a tough question to answer. We haven't been able to find the right relationship because when O-Town stopped it kinda all went disappeared and we wanted to start fresh. We have been seaking out new label or new management or new situation where we feel comfortable moving forward. That's one issue. Outside of that we were spread out across the entire United states with people in Nashville and people scattered throughout California so getting together to rehears or record was really tough. I've made some flights and done a little bit of recording but nothing ever got finished and it was just trying to find the right relationship. So after the last few months have been going well we feel like we're getting ready to be able to do something finally and not just talk about it because it was just talks for a long time and it has been between us. We wanted to do something it's just been trying to find the right thing. I hope that answers the question.

Yes it does. It actually answers it quite well. We figured that was the issue. And then you still have your other band and Dan with the new baby.

Yes and that has been a big one too. Dan has his baby and his wife and we can't just go on the road and tour for 2 or 3 months at a time. We had to find a situation where we can find a company who'd be willing to fund us going out and help us to do maybe 2 or 3 weeks at a time but it was just trying to find the right relationship where we could still have our family and life and be able to go out and do the O-Town thing still too.

And did you find the right ones now?

I think we are on target right now. We have a lot going on this week so we'll have a lot more to say depending on how this week goes but right now we've got some green lights. So we are planning to announce something within the month... is our plan. That's why I dont want to give too much away since we haven't figured out what we are going to do for this build up. But we wanna plan like a month long build up where we get everybody envolved and give clues to what we are going to do. I think it's gonna be fun. We wanted to start slow cause we didn't have anything to promise but we wanted to at least have a forum where we could engage with our fans and its been so long since any of us had any kind of group website or group twitter or anything where we can do that and we finally just decided to get that going again.

Can you go into more details like what are your plans when it comes to liveshows like festivals or tours. It's also interesting to hear about Europe but since most fans are from the US they wanna know if there are any tour dates?

No tour dates planned. With everything that we are planning right now that would obviously come with it. We would definatly be doing some shows. Uhm let's see how I say this. I can say that I personally, I'm expecting to be spending some time in Europe next year. And I might be bringing some friends with me. And we'll just leave it at that. It's gonna be a fun year. So actually I'm not in Nashville anymore. I'm in San Diego where I am from you know. So I am back living with the family and the guys are mostly, they are all in LA so we're gonna start seeing each other a little bit more which is nice. We closed the gap.

What type of music will be doing now? Is it the typicall O-Town boyband music we know or is it something new?

Well you know, we're not gonna go into a brand new genre. We are gonna stick to what we know and love and what O-Town was which is good pop, adult contemporary music. I think the sound that we are actually looking for, the stuff that we've been writing cause we've all been for years still. It's a little bit more mature. We have experience a bit more and we can write a little bit more deeper thoughts I'd say. But it's gonna stay pop music. We are not gonna be go death metal anymore.

Will you be playing some of the old stuff too?

We'll have to, yeah. Can't do an O-Town show without doing „All or Nothing“. We are gonna have to do that. It's been fun. We've definatly gotten to a farther step than we have in the past to actually coming to an agreement and doing something which is why I feel we can talk about it. Yea it's gonna be fun. Reliving the old stuff and maybe putting out some new stuff to people. I don't even know if I have the second album anymore. I think I do. But I went through it after now hearing it for 10 years. I was excited to get back on stage and sing these songs cause they are good songs and I haven't given them a thought in a long time so it's gonna be fun to go back.

On Making the Band there were all these little snippits of songs that you guys wrote for the first album. Is there a chance that we get to hear those now? Do you still have them?

I have a couple of them. Every once in a while I go through my old sessions and find stuff that I never knew I had. Cause there was a song, I don't know if you know the guys name Edwin McCain. He was a singer here in the states that was really big. We wrote with him a few times and there was a song that Dan and Ashley wrote with him that I just loved and it got cut from the second record but it was a great song. Wish I had a copy of that now that I think about it cause I don't.  You just always look forward and keep writing new stuff. I can't promise anything but I'd expect that we not go back and rerecord some of that stuff but we just keep writing for the future. Writing the new stuff, recording the stuff we are writing now. You know honestly, the stuff we are writing now is much better than the stuff we wrote 10 years ago. I would at least like to hope so.  Well I can dig through and talk to the other guys and see if they have anything that's worth listening too cause that's not a bad idea to throw some of that stuff out there. At least for people to have cause we wouldn't like put it out and pay for promotion or anything but at least releasing it so you guys have it.

Yeah, just so we can remember. Kinda like getting back into the old O-Town groove basically.

Yeah you know some of those recording were done on actual tape. Like cassette tape. That makes me feel old.

How did your family and friends react, when you told them about the reunion?

Everyone has been wanting us to do something for a very long time. I mean, the families all loved it. They thought it was fun. And they have been getting asked for years when we are gonna do something again so I think everybody has kinda been on that same tip. Everytime we see them it was like: Why haven't you done anything yet? And there wasn't a specific reason. It just nothing had lined up where it would work out for everybody with their shedules and where we were at in our life. So they have been wanting us to get back together and have fun and now that we are really looking like something solid is gonna happen I think they are pretty excited for us. Those were fun days so reliving these is gonna be even more fun now that we are older. I think all of us have a sense of humor about it now where it's just fun.

How does it feel to be back together after so many years?

Well I am excited. Just after we spoke on Friday with everybody uhm, we've been all getting onto the phone a lot more often recently. So kinda rekiddeling the friendship. It's fun since we spend a lot of time together and we haven't seen each other in a little while. It is the only 4 guys who know what we went through. We're excited. We are in a different place in our life where I said, Dan's got a baby so he has priorities. But I think we're excited to get back together and like I said relive the old days for a little while and visit some places and countries that we haven't been to in 10 years and see the fanbase that is out there that has lived with us the first time around. See who's still out there. Just to reconnect will be fun. And to sing together. I think that's what I am most excited about. I was listening to the old recordings and man Dan can sing. That boy can sing. I'm looking forward to singing with him again and Erik and Trevor, like everybody sounds great so it's gonna be fun to get back into the studio again.

What do you expect from the reunion? What are your goals?

Well. There isn't any big goals and I don't say that with a lack of excitement. It's just, we're not in it to do anything more than just to have fun at this point. We've all been doing music individually and other things since we have broken up and had other bands and other partners but I think it's been, like I said, everybody continually asking us for 10 years and then like the nostalgic of it. I think we are just looking to get together and have fun. The more cities we get to tour the better.

We have also realized, we are all doing the O-Town reloaded project now for 3 years since the first time you announced something like a comeback, that there are still so many fans out there who would die to see you again or to listen to some new music. I think you had the best fans on earth and you still do.

You guys are awesome. I love you for that. I do appologize it took so long. It wasn't anything I wished happend. We've had some good people come and go along the way, make some promises that fell through and it just took the kinda time it has taken now, 2 or 3 years to find the right relationship where we feel comfortable moving forward and making music again.

Was there one special moment on tour with O-Town that you keep remembering?

Trying to think of a good one for you. Well the first one that came to mind was when we were in New York for 9/11. We had a show scheduled on 9/11 in New York and we were stuck on that island and our whole crew was stuck for a few days. Just to be there, to see that with my own eyes, I'll never forget. That wasn't a great thing, a great memory but it is in history. To be there, to witness that is something unpresidented. I'll never forget it. And every year that time comes and goes. We've got pictures of that day. It's just one of those living histories.

You know the other one too and this is funny how these are the memories. The day that we signed our contract with Clive Davis we were in New York and we got downstairs and they had a surprise in a limo for us. ABC, the television company and MTV was in the limo and surprised us with a second season of our show. So we were on cloud 9. That was like litterly the best day of our lives. And then we go on a plane, we go straight to the airport we get on a plane headed to Buffalo and the engine explodes, lights on fire. So we had to make an emergency landing in Scranton, Pennsylvania of all places. Landing gear was stuck, they had to blow the landing gear down with explosives and hopefully they would stick down. Everything was lined with fire engines and we landed and everything was fine but that went from Cloud 9 to nearly dying. We all were on the plane and kind of held hands, saying a prayer and just kinda watched as we tried to make a landing. I still have the ticket stub framed. And here is what was said to us and this is what I thought was always kinda funny. So we land and we tell the record lable at this point „You know what. We almost died. We are not getting on a plane ever again. We're only going busses. We're done with this.“ You know what they said? „It's one in a million chance that you would die on an airplane or it would light on fire and that already happened to you once so it's like one in a billion chance it will ever happen again."

Ashlee, who we have talked to yesterday wanted to know, how you have grown as an artist over the past few years?

I spend 5 years in Nashville and was bacially emercing myself in the most competitive music town in the world. So I am not the same musician I was before moving there, that's for sure. It's very competitive not only on the performance side but mostly on the songwriting side. So gotten a lot of expierence writing everything from rock to country to pop and r'n'b and soul and just experiencing a lot of different things. Playing with a lot of the best musicians in the world, learning studio tricks. I've build microphones for a while for a private company so I have learned a lot about actual mic sonic quality and how to tune mics. I've build my own microphone and definatly grown up a lot just learned a lot more. I put a lot of work in.

What has been your biggest accomplishment or struggle since the band?

Well, I got my business degree. That's been a big one. I'm working on my masters right now in music. I think just the experience in Nashville is what I needed to get to the next level as a musician and as an artist. And I got myself to a really postive place. Especially throughout the last few years. I've been married and divorced and life is perfect right now.

Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

That's a good question. Honestly I would probably try and care a little bit less. I'd take everything a little less seriously in order to enjoy it more. See at that time we were doing so much that we were trying to control as much as we could and it took a lot of the joy away because we were struggling so much to control rather than just sitting back and enjoying the ride. So looking back I would probably have calmed down and not try to care so much, not try to control so much and just sat back and enjoyed it.

Until recently you did have another band „The Midnight Frenzy.“ What's going to happen with that?

Midnight Frenzy is a cover band and thats what I used to just go out and play shows and have fun. So I change out musicians. It's just a band and we get together and do three-four hour cover sets in bars and just have fun. We weren't doing any originals. I have been doing a lot of solo stuff on the side. See I love playing live and even more than playing my own music I love playing other peoples music that I grew up listening to, my favorite songs. Just for fun. We just put that together to go play at the bars we always hang out at anyways and party. So I'll probably continue that band in any city that I am in. I'd like to continue doing covers and I probably keep doing it in Nashville and wherever I am at.  What we'll do is I'll keep Midnight Frenzy going as a party cover band that you can hire to come and play for whatever amount of music. You can help put the set together if you like a certain style cause we can play anything. But that's really all that its for. I mean I am setting up website for that and for the solo stuff so at least people can have forum to go to but thats a company that I started in Nashville just like I said for parties. We can basically play anything. I would like for this band to be hired out for anything. Corporate events, private parties, you name it. 

What is your favorite thing to do at Disneyland?

I like the flying over California. But I also like the ESPN zone and drinking tall beers while watching sports on giant screens.

And what is your favorite Disney movie?

Let's see here. Peter Pan by far is my favorite. My sister calls me Peter Pan.

What is it with celebrities and Peter Pan?

We dont wanna grow up.

Thank you Jacob that you took time to answer all those questions.

Izzy Gallegos ("US5", former band from Lou Pearlman) September, 23.2011

We can not find the Questions of our Inteview with Izzy. But we still have his answers and thats what matters, right?  ;) Enjoy it!

-

1. I found out that Transcon and Lou Pearlman were holding open auditions for a new group from a friend of a friend. This was one month after my former group "Exact" had officially broken up, so it was perfect timing. That was at the beginning of 2005 in January. I didn't have many expectations, just a lot of hope haha.

2. The audition process for US5 was also filmed from the very beginning. my audition was filmed as well as everyone else. I guess they just didn't use the footage for our tv show "Big in America". The whole process was very similar to the "Making the Band" process. I remember watching "Making the Band" on tv and thiking "One day that will be me".

3. To be honest, I never felt like a labor rat during the audition process. I did get that feeling though, after the band was already put together and we were on the road touring. There was a few times that someone in management would make such threats and make you feel replaceable. but after time I realized there is no one in this world that can replace me!

4. I don't think there are any comparisons between O-Town and US5. we were two completely different groups with two completely different identities and two completely different sounds. I think the only similarities would be that we were both formed on television by Lou Pearlman. (and maybe the fact that Jacob and I both had dreadlocks lol). but I feel O-Town and US5 were unique in our own ways. I definitely respected O-Town on a musical level. especially with thier 2nd album. I thought that was a great album! probably one of my favorite ever put out by a "boyband".

5. I think it's great O-Town decided to start a comeback. As far as a comeback with US5...I think it is too soon to start thinking about a comeback. US5 has only officially been broken up for a little over a year, and I think it's important for all of us(US5) to try new outlets and adventures on a personal level. For example, I have formed a new music project called "Taylor Made", and that gives me a chance to do something different, and not be limited musically. We have a much different sound and I am excited to try something new after being with US5 for over 6 years. I think in order to have a successful comeback, you must give ample time away to give the public time to actually miss you. but I guess since Ashley has no interest in the comeback, I guess I will have to fill in for him! lol

6. No I have never regret to work with Lou Pearlman. I would'nt be here today if Lou and Transcon had never picked me up. I know many people feel nagatively and hold a grudge against Lou, but I personally don't have anything bad to say about him. I do believe if he didn't get caught up and arrested, that US5 would have had a huge chance to continue in the states and be as successful as we were in Europe and Asia.

7. I have recently formed a new musical project that consists myself and two other guys. we call ourselves "Taylor Made", after the term tailormade, which means "to be a perfect fit". each of us brings something different and unique to the table. from Rock, to Soul and R&b, to Rap, and Pop. it's something definitely different, and I am excited to debut it soon. I'm sure you will be hearing more out of the new project as time progresses. we are currently in the studio laying down a bunch of tracks to hopefully use for our debut album. maybe we can get a featuring with O-Town.. I think that would be awesome!

Thank you for the interview and the good questions. and of course thanks for keeping the spirit alive for one of my favorite groups, O-Town. 

Rock On!! take care and ttys!

Jason Yeager (Top 25 Finalist of "Making The Band") August, 31.2011

Wow you guys must really be big fans if you remember me on the show! Well, Making the Band was an awesome experience for me. Shortly after leaving the show I was signed with another group called True This that had seen me on the show.

We actually went to one of O-Town's frost shows in Miami and got a chance to catch up with all of them again in their trailer before the show. They were still the same guys I remembered only a few months before. Doing shows in Europe with True This we met up again in Germany and they put on an awesome show there as well.

All I can say is they are all very talented performers and worked really hard to be the success they were.

I wish them all the best in their careers.

Danielle (Jacobs´Sister) October, 8.2011

- Yeah, O-TOWN is back. What do you think about it and how did your family react?

Yes they are! It brings so many great memories back = ) I was in junior high when O-town took off, such a fun age for a boy band! I am excited to experience them again now being 25. I just can't see myself dancing in my room to "Liquid Dreams" anymore but you never know = ))

Everyone in my family is super supportive! They are all such [rad] talented men. We can not wait to see what they are going to come up with next

- Can you tell us who started the O-TOWN "reloaded" project?

Thats a good question. I have no clue = ) haha

- Back in the days when Jake participated at 'Making the Band' how far did you think would he come? Have you ever thought he'd make it to the band?

I consider myself one of Jacobs biggest fans... as a man & an artist. He can do anything when he puts his whole heart & mind into it. God gave Jacob an amazing gift to share with the world. I totally thought he would make it = )

- We know you heard a sneak peek of the new O-TOWN music already . How would you describe it, also compared to the old music?

I actually have not.... yet! Jacob is hoarding it. haha I am kidding! I heard it has a more mature sound, so i am looking forward to it!

- The boys got older and became men - what do you think will be different than almost 10 years ago?

My mama has always told my brothers & I, the older you are the wiser you are. So... wisdom. I think they have A LOT of experience under there belts in the music career. They are going to make there decisions & choices they make this time around really count.

I am just as exciting as you guys to put my O-town t-shirt back on & rock out = ) Thank you so much

- (Not for the interview ) Can you give us a hint who we could ask to get a sneak peek for the fans?

eeek..... Erik Or Jacob????? Erik I think co-wrote the song they just recorded so he might be your best bet!

O-Town - We Fit Together

I’ve been waiting for the stars to come out
Dinner it was fine,
But I can’t lie ’cause I’ve been waiting for ya
To come back to mine

How many triple x dreams that’s been starring you
I got you now and I just wanna
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
