See through Me Lost & Found Music Studios

Previously on Lost & Found...

Lost & Found is a performance venue, it's a recording studio

and I also started an elite music programme for young musicians.

-Do you think that might be about Michelle?

-It might be.

-You should sing it for her, man.

-I can't.

-Why don't I sing it?

I'd just like to thank Luke

-for writing that beautiful song about me.

-John wrote it.

Thanks for not telling Michelle the song was about her.

Yeah, no problem.

-Hey, John.

-I thought I heard your voice.

Erm...

# Thinking about the day when we first met

# The way you made me feel and how you left

# What I wouldn't give just to be more

# To be someone that you hold and you adore

# Look in my eyes

# See what you mean to me

# Feel the beat of my heart

# I need to believe that I could walk through fire and burn in love

# But you still wouldn't feel the heat

# Feel the heat It burns in me

# But you see through me

# I could walk through fire and burn in love

# But you see through me

# I could walk through fire and burn in love

# You always know exactly what to say

# To pull me in before you walk away

# But I don't want to go through this again

# To act like I'm OK just being friends

# Look in my eyes

# See what you mean to me... #

Leia seems really into this performance. It seems like

it's something that's really personal to her, and it shows.

# ..I could walk through fire and burn in love

# But you still wouldn't feel the heat

# Feel the heat It burns in me...#

I wrote You See Through Me about Luke.

I think it's one of the best songs I've ever written.

So I'm submitting it for auditions.

# ..I could walk through fire and burn in love. #

APPLAUSE

The best songwriters at Lost & Found write songs and submit them to Mr T.

And Mr T chooses two of them for auditions.

Auditions are starting soon

and Mr T is just about to announce which songs have been chosen.

-That was so good.

-Thank you!

-Mr T is definitely going to pick your song.

Oh, I know that.

Being best friends with Leia is really intimidating, because I know

she's the best songwriter here.

I have been trying my hand at writing some songs,

but I know it's going to take a while before I reach her level.

All right, nice job, Leia.

OK, so, I've made my decision.

First song, Original, John.

Congratulations, once again.

APPLAUSE

And the second song I've chosen is Now Is Our Time, by Rachel.

APPLAUSE

Good job.

I am so excited that my song got picked for auditions.

I must be getting good.

THEY CHEER

Thanks for everyone's submissions.

I'm not trying to be egotistical,

but I thought my song was way better than the ones that were chosen.

Am I slipping?

-# We are the lost

-The lost

-# And the found

-The found

# Don't know where we stand but solid ground

-# It's your shot

-Take it

-# See you what you've got

-Don't break it

# Only true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa oh-oh Whoa oh-oh

# Whoa.#

# Maybe I'll give you the chance to make me feel good... #

I'm getting really annoyed with taking the bus.

What? I don't know, I kind of like it. It's my me time.

-All the time is your me time.

-Well, I do love myself.

# John loves himself and his me time. #

I don't know if that's song-ready, but OK.

LUKE LAUGHS

Yesterday, Luke played a love song that I wrote for Michelle.

She knew I wrote it, but she didn't know it was about her.

When Michelle came to talk to me after the show,

I had no idea what to do.

-So, let me get this straight...

-Mm-hm.

-You told Michelle

that I wrote the song for Theo.

Yeah.

She's supposed to believe that

I wanted to have my heart broken by Theo?

-Yeah! It's like a bro-mance thing.

-That's crazy!

-Exactly. It'll confuse her.

-I'M confused.

Exactly.

Come on, lover boy.

Tonight is the band's first open mike performance.

We're pretty new to the whole experience of performing

in front of people, but we have to learn somewhere.

Do you think we could borrow a bass amp?

OK, there is one amp. You have to be careful with it.

-McCartney plugged into that amp.

-What!

-No way!

-Yes.

-Seriously?

-You're lying.

-I'm not.

-So, I'm going to play McCartney's amp?

-Yes.

-He's so happy about it.

-Rock it. Have a good one.

-No pressure.

I can't wait to play this open mike, and the band is going on the road.

I mean, I knew that Now Is Our Time was really good when I wrote it,

but I didn't know that it was audition good.

You know, like, Mr T picked my song over so many other people's.

I think it's because of the chorus. Like, the...

# Ah-ah-always on time...

-It's so catchy, right?

-Ba-ba-ba.

-What?

-Why don't I get us some juices?

-OK, sure.

-OK, cool.

-Actually, could you get me a muffin, too?

-Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

Two juices and a muffin, please.

Thank you.

-Hey, John.

-Hey!

-Congratulations on your song being picked.

-Thanks.

By the way, Rachel is driving me insane.

She won't stop talking about how great her song is.

Just let her have this one. I mean, she's happy.

I'm happy for her, but...to be honest, who's song was better?

Your song was better than both of ours.

-Well, then, why didn't Mr T pick it?

-It's a formula.

I've gotten a song into the auditions two years in a row.

And it's because Mr T

is using a very specific formula for audition songs.

You need a song that has no personality,

that someone else can take and make their own.

So Rachel's song has no personality and mine's better?

-Yeah.

-Thank you so much, you've made my day! I owe you one.

OK. OK!

John's formula totally makes sense. I'm not slipping.

-# Now is our time

-Now is our time. #

-Oh, you forgot my muffin.

-Oh, for sure, I did. I'm so sorry.

It's your day, anything for you.

# Now is our time

# Now is our time, our time. #

# Yeah, OK, growing up I realised

# The bigger picture is the real prize

# So I never close my big old eyes

# And when I do I never compromise

# For anybody telling me that you can't do it

# I swear to the heavens and I put it on the sky

# I'll prove it I swear to God I'll do it

# My dreams are going straight to reality

# And another thing that brings insanity with that... #

What are you doing?

I'm trying to shoot a music video and it's not going too smoothly.

-I think all you need is just an extra pair of hands.

-Yeah?

-Can you lend me a hand?

-Yeah.

-Beautiful, thank you.

Jude is always helping people out around here,

so I feel like I should help him, too.

But also I'm trying to put myself out there more.

I think this year is time for new beginnings.

Why would we go to a gig that's going to take us

longer to travel there than we're actually playing?

Oh, the bus is coming. We should probably get ourselves situated.

An open mike is basically a chance for everyone to get together

and play their material in a safe environment.

You play your newest tunes and see what everybody thinks.

Without, you know, actually getting paid. Cos it's not a real gig.

-Guys, we forgot the amp.

-What!

-Wow. Wow, man.

-We're going back for it, right?

-We can't!

-We don't have time for that.

We either go to this open mike or we go back and get that amp.

And either way, Mr T is going to bite our heads off.

-He's going to rip us.

-Great.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, uh-oh.

Hey, I'm really sorry that your song didn't get chosen.

-Oh, that's no problem.

-I think your song was really good.

It was really good. And that's why it wasn't chosen for auditions.

-What?

-Mr T chose the more basic, ordinary songs.

Like Rachel's, per se. So, that way, the auditioners could use them

-and then make them their own.

-Hi, Rachel.

Rachel!

# Yeah, OK, growing up I realised

# The bigger picture is the real prize... #

So, what do you think?

-You want the truth?

-Yeah.

-It's lousy.

Yes! You're a genius.

You need to figure out some way to make a new video.

-Well, what's the song about?

-It's all about being a grown-up.

See, to me, being a grown-up is buying the freshest pair of kicks.

Or even flying to New York to catch a concert or something.

Yes, it's so weird, cos growing up to me is just completely different.

-Mm-hm?

-It's like ordering a take-out and riding the streetcar alone,

knowing what it's like to kiss someone.

Yeah, I don't know why I never added that one to my list. I feel you.

You know, maybe growing up is just a variety of different ideas.

Lots of different perspectives.

-That's it.

-What?

-Perspectives!

That's going to be the theme of the video.

-OK, I'm down for it.

-I'm so excited.

Playing around with perspectives is such a cool video idea

and I really hope that Jude and I can pull this off.

It really hurts knowing that my song

wasn't everything I thought it would be.

I mean, I've always come in second place to Leia,

but I have the feeling she may be right.

Hey, listen, I didn't mean to say that your song wasn't good.

-It is good.

-Really?

Yeah.

Because, apparently, you and John and Mr T think it's average.

Why can't I write a song good enough to get rejected?

Do you think that's easy? It's not.

Then what am I doing wrong?

Rachel needs to be feeling, instead of thinking.

Great songwriters take their experiences

and make them into great songs.

But Rachel doesn't know how to be vulnerable

-and show her emotions like that yet.

-That's it.

I'm cashing in my chip. You're going to teach me.

Whenever me or Leia need a favour,

with no argument from each other, we cash in our chip.

There is no guarantees and you have to do everything I say.

Cos it's going to get messy.

Deal.

This is the amp I lent the band last night.

It's sitting on the street and I have no idea why.

-Hey, my man.

-How does it go?

-It goes well, how about you?

-It goes. It keeps on going.

-Oh, look, it's dumb and dumber.

Look who's awake.

We barely made it to the open mike,

we barely had time for half a song and we didn't have a bass amp.

It was a complete disaster.

-Where are we meeting James?

-At the dealership. But we're bussing.

-As usual.

-Why am I not surprised?

-Let's go. Let's do it.

Let's buy a van!

Right, there's four steps to success - a band, a van, touring,

world domination.

All right, going into the junction.

-Can I take this blindfold off yet?

-No.

I wanted to experience the world in a new and different way.

-Ow!

-Good.

You feel that pain, you channel that pain.

Keep going. You're doing great.

What are you doing?

-Choke, choke, choke. No, no.

-Who is this?

-It's Jude.

-It's Jude.

You two are some nincompoops, man.

OK, sit down, come on. This is not working for you.

All I'm trying to do is trying to

get Rachel to start feeling things, instead of thinking things.

The next experiment I want you to do

-is eat this ice cream as fast as you can.

-Why?

Because I want you to write brain freeze lyrics.

My goal right now?

-Sensory overload.

-Keep going.

Yeah, do you feel anything yet? Yeah? Good.

Now, I want you to stand up

and sing a song about sunshine to the whole junction.

OK.

# Sunshine shines so bright in the sky. #

-Is that bad?

-Yes. Sit.

I don't really know why Leia's making me

sing with ice cream in my mouth.

What does this have to do with writing a song?

All right, I didn't want to have to do this,

-but we're going to the fries.

-What am I supposed to do?

I want you to take two and stick them right up your nose.

-What?

-Just do it.

-Yeah.

-What is this supposed to do?

Actually, that's just for me.

You're supposed to be helping me write a song.

-No, that's what I'm doing!

-You're just making fun of me.

I cashed in my chip!

I just... Rachel!

'I didn't know how much this meant to Rachel.'

I need to find a way to make things right.

What kind of disgusting car dealership is this?

It's one in our price range.

We need to show Mr T that we're tour-ready.

So this van is the first step to living as real musicians

and launching our careers.

I mean, look at it, it's not too bad.

It's got some rust. I think the mirrors are still functional.

-That's not a bad thing.

-This is a lousy van

from an obedient school for dogs

that went out of business.

Perfect.

There is no chance, man. It still smells like wet dog in there.

-What?!

-Luke is crazy.

There is no way that buying this van is going to help get on the tour.

Air it out or drive through a carwash

with the windows down or something.

Fellas, how are you doing? Oh, man.

I see you found a diamond in the rough.

This is the gem on the lot.

I'm going to be sorry to see this baby go.

Look, a full-sized van, not a blind spot anywhere.

-Wow.

-She is nice.

-Isn't she?

There's no lying in me. I'm going to get the keys.

You stay right here, fellas. You won't be disappointed.

Let's just take a vote, OK? Who's in?

-Yeah.

-Are you serious, man?

-There is something about her.

-Stop this.

-John?

-John, think straight.

-Please.

It's not like I'm going to do

anything useful with my money anyway.

Yes! OK, majority rules, majority rules.

We like to make fun of Luke for all of his crazy ideas,

but the guy does have a vision.

# I'm where I want to be

# The van is where I want to be

# The van is where I want to be and I never want to leave

# Never want to leave I never want to leave

# I'm never going to leave

# The van is where I want to be... #

Theo!

# Never ever, ever, ever going to leave...#

Once Theo starts singing, he can't stop.

And it's kind of an issue.

# Ooh, the van is where I want to be

# The van is where I want to be... #

If this is the way the tour is going to be,

I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to go.

Ever.

I found the chip and mysterious note from Leia telling me

to meet her in the green room.

I'm still really mad at her, but I can't say no to the chip.

Have a seat.

I have something very important to tell you.

When I was seven years old, I was walking to the forest...

and then I felt something squishy beneath my feet.

I looked down and there were thousands of worms

wrapping themselves around my legs.

They pulled me deep into a groundhog hole.

And then I screamed as loud as I have ever screamed

and the worms retreated.

-That happened when you were seven?

-No, it's a ghost story.

Your turn.

One dark and stormy night, I was home alone.

Yes, you were.

And...

Why are you doing this?

I'm trying to get you to feel things.

So that you can write music.

It's not going to work.

I don't care, I'm going to get you there.

You're my best friend.

And I'm going to keep trying, because I love you.

Come here.

So, if you could write a lyric right now, what would it be?

You make me feel something so real

I can't let go.

So I'm going to take control.

That's perfect!

Thank you so much.

Right, everybody, cameras up.

OK.

And action!

# Hey, child, this is hot

# Let's get on side and show them what we got

# Like a one-two step that never stops

# Yeah, we can rock the rhythm of the heartbeat

# Hey, world, check it out

# Don't let them tell you what it's all about

# Cos it's your dreams all your life and all your style

# That shines in the light

-# It's like

-Hey, now, I'm not tired

# So, I'm not going to slow down

# I'm too free and I'm too young to hold it

# Close these wild, wild eyes

# Ooh, tonight's the night we set it on fire

# Oh, ah, catch it on the camera

# Ooh, tonight's the night we take it up higher

# So we won't come down... #

We finally rounded up enough people to make this video happen.

I'm super excited.

Different perspectives need different cameras

and we've got a lot of perspectives.

# OK, growing up I realised

# The bigger picture is the real prize

# So I never close my big old eyes And what I do is never compromise

# For anybody telling me you can't do it

# I swear to the heavens Put it on the sky

# I'm proving that this young cash does fly

# I never lose and plus I'm a different you

# That's why I've got my dreams I'm cruising straight to reality

# A lot of zoning out and thinking brings insanity

# But that ain't on my path Not the path for me

# I see a different route for me

# And at the end I ain't lonely

# Yeah, but I noticed that my dream's coming round

# Hey, let's go

# It's goes above my head and what I do is pull it down

# Cos I like a lot of fast cars and girls like a lot of fast talk

# And what I do I mix both of them

# And what I get Ah, you wouldn't even know

# Ooh, tonight's the night we set it on fire

# Oh, ah, catch it on the camera

# Ooh, tonight's the night we take it up higher

# No, we won't come down...#

# ..No, we won't come down

# No, we won't come down. #

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh

# We are the lost and found

# Don't know where we stand but solid ground

# It's your shot Let's see what you got

# Only a true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh. #
