Play the Record Lost & Found Music Studios

Previously on Lost & Found...

'Lost & Found is where everyone wants to be.

'It's an amazing place, where young musicians come to be great.

'I'm actually a dancer, and I met these guys

'because they practise in the same building as The Next Step.'

The guys in the band are like brothers to me.

'The studio is my haven. It's my escape.

'There's nothing else I'd rather be doing'

than making music with my best friends.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Tonight's the night We set it on fire

# No, we won't come down. #

'My name's Clara, and I've been dancing at The Next Step

'with my sister Giselle since I was little.'

But lately, I've been getting a lot more interested in music.

'I'm wandering around Lost & Found,

'and it makes me so happy.

'I really think I could fall in love with this place.'

Being at Lost & Found would just be the best thing ever.

'But that's just a dream. It's never going to happen.'

AMP FEEDBACK

'I think being here - right here, right now -

'is the closest I'm ever going to get.'

# Sgt Pepper spinnin' All night long

# I found some Coltrane So I finally put it on

# Back In Black is playing So loud that I can't hear... #

'I can't help it, but when I start to sing,'

I completely lose myself in the music.

# I close my eyes

# I hear the sound

# I lose my mind

# Can't turn it down

# And that's all I'll ever need... #

'I start dancing around and singing, and I just love it.'

# Play the record Play the record

# Play the record for me

# I hear the music playing That's where I want to be... #

'I really love singing, but I'm not really a musician.'

I don't think I could ever make it into Lost & Found,

because the musicians here are way more talented than me.

# When I'm alone with you

# This is all I wanna do

# This music is all we need

# All we need

# Play the record for me... #

'I come into Lost & Found early to get some work done...'

and I hear this girl singing.

# Play the record, play the record Play the record for me... #

Wow. What a voice.

# So I can freak out to the beat. #

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here.

Are you auditioning for the studio?

No. No, I wouldn't... No.

Well, if you change your mind, auditions start tomorrow.

You still have time to prepare, so e-mail me.

Let me know, and I'll put you on the list.

-Uh, thank... Thank you.

-Think about it.

'I can't believe it.

'I have just been asked to audition for Lost & Found.'

# We are the lost and the found

# Don't know where we stand But it's solid ground

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

# Only your true light shines As bright as you

# Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

# Whoa, oh, oh, oh. #

BAND PRACTISES

So I'm in the control booth, and I see Theo, James, Luke, and John.

They're the top dogs around here. And they know it.

Yo, Jude, come on the microphone.

-Hey, what's up?

-The band's in here right now, man.

Yeah, I can see you guys.

I'm not actually in the music programme here at Lost & Found,

but I might as well be.

I spend so much time with the band.

Watch your attitude.

All right, sorry.

Mom, I'm in the studio, I'll call you later. Yes. OK, bye.

-Hey, Jude.

-Hey, what's up?

-Please, set up the place for recording.

I'm actually getting the two audition songs for Eva right now, so...

That's OK, she can do it. Please, set it up.

For this?

For this.

-OK. Wow. Thanks, Mr T.

-No problem.

-Hey, James.

-Yo.

Guess who's recording now, buddy? So you'd better watch your attitude.

So I shoot James back some attitude - like, you know, I have to.

I got to let him know that I'm in the game, too.

All right, we've got to get to work.

We're trying to get a demo together, so we can build some buzz.

Before we do that, can you let me know your roles for the auditions?

-I'm hosting.

-I'm going to help him with his hosting material,

because right now, it's terrible.

..Says the one who will never perform on stage.

OK, don't make me come over there.

I'm going to go to Busker Alley and calm people's nerves.

Do you even go here?

No.

The thing about these chuckleheads though, is, they need the help of me,

the music producer, to help them get a unified, cohesive sound.

All right. Let's get to work.

-Hello, ladies.

-Hey.

So, we have a few last-minute things to complete before tomorrow.

'This year, Leia and I are in charge of facilitating

'the Lost & Found auditions.'

I'm really excited because I love lists,

I love crossing things off lists,

and I love filing those lists!

We have 50-odd auditioners coming in on day one and 43 on day two,

so I need your help with organising...

..To set up the green room and Java Junction as waiting areas?

-You got it.

-I'm on it.

So, these are confirmed by Jude and Hannah.

I just need you guys to let them know they got an audition.

-All right.

-Sounds good.

-Thank you.

I'm super excited to meet the new auditioners.

Who knows who's going to walk in the door?

Isaac.

Hmm. Sounds pretty serious. I bet he has a really big voice.

No, I think he has a soft voice.

Well, only one way to find out.

-And...send.

-See you soon, Isaac.

# I don't want to see What I can't be

# When I'm staring in the mirror I'm gonna think... #

Isaac! Break's over. We got customers.

I love singing, cos it's the only time

that I can really express myself and be who I want to be.

When you're done, water the petunias.

'If I get into Lost & Found...' TEXT ALERT

it would change my life forever.

ISAAC GIGGLES

Looks like my life might be changing forever.

Let's water the petunias, y'all.

# Tell me who you are It's time to be great now... #

Mom, look.

# Give me the truth # The truth will save you

APPLAUSE

# You know yourself So look me in the eye

# You see yourself

# You know you gotta try. #

OK, cue it up for 23.

OK. Take 23.

The rhythm section is the backbone of any song, so James and Theo

have to lay down the right groove for the song to gel.

Hey, you know what I just realised?

Tomorrow, we'll have been here for two years.

-That's crazy.

-Yeah.

Do you remember the time when you slept over at my house

and we were playing video games, and all of a sudden,

you just froze and you stopped.

And I was, like, "Dude, come on! What are you doing?" And we lost.

And I asked what was wrong and you were, like,

"It's time to start the band!"

'It feels really strange and nostalgic,

'discussing the decision to form the band.'

It's not something we've talked about for a very long time.

You know what my biggest fear was?

-Losing that game twice.

-No, but you're very close.

My biggest fear was one of us not making it in here.

I think about it,

and I have no idea what would have happened to us if that happened.

We would have figured it out.

You're stuck with me.

-All right, guys.

-THEY STOP PLAYING

That wasn't bad, but we need to do another pass, all right?

So, James, I need you to keep that tempo consistent. All right?

OK, here we go. Take 24.

'I'm trying my best to take Mr T's direction...'

but I don't know, I'm struggling with it.

'When you're actually in the recording studio,

'there's a lot of pressure. There's no buffer. You can't hide.

'He's hearing exactly what I'm doing.'

So if I'm the slightest bit off, he's going to know right away.

-OK, kill it.

-THEY STOP PLAYING

James... You know what? Let's just take a break. Take five.

-I'm good, man.

-I'm sure you are. Let's just take a break, all right?

It'll be a good rest for everybody. Let's go.

'This is discouraging. It's harder than I thought.'

I don't know why I'm struggling with it so much, but it's frustrating me.

-Hey. You sound great, man.

-Thanks, bro. I'm going to get some water.

Stupid stick!

'To get this right, I'm just going to work my hardest at this...'

and I will get this. I just have to work for it.

Hey. Sounding good, man.

Thanks, man.

What you doing all...out here by yourself for?

I'm just practising, man.

-Practice makes perfect.

-Yeah.

Whenever I can't get a dance move or something,

I just lock myself in a dance studio and I just practise till I get it.

Mm. Well, you can't do a duet without your partner.

We are the rhythm section, so let's do this.

'Sometimes, knowing that you're not alone, makes things better.'

And I just let James know that he's not alone.

# Da, dum, dum, bloo-loo-loo Da, dum, dum, da, dum, dum. #

-TEXT ALERT

-Ooh. Auditioner texts.

Who are they from?

We've got confirmation from Amy, Trisha, Maggie, and Julia.

Perfect.

People come from all over to audition here.

Rumour has it that Maggie's actually flying in,

and I think that's awesome.

-Hey. I'm Maggie.

-APPLAUSE

Thanks so much for being here.

Actually, I have some pretty big news.

If all goes well tomorrow, I won't be seeing you guys for a while.

No, I'm not going to military camp.

I have an audition for this really awesome music studio.

-APPLAUSE

-'I live in a pretty small town,

'and there's nothing like Lost & Found here.'

I can't imagine what it would be like to go there.

Here's to getting out of this town.

# I've had my eyes on you for some time

# I met you at the coffee shop... #

'In my town, they only have one of everything.

'One grocery store, one laundromat, one bank.'

But I'm hoping after tomorrow, they'll have one less musician.

# I can't get enough of your dandelion love

# Oh, I can see a sail boat in the sky

# So take me out to sea All the things that we could be

# Oh, we could let the day fly by

# You wrote a song for me and sang it

# Now in my head it's always playin'

# And now we're dancing hand-in-hand together... #

'Not a lot of my friends are into music.'

I can't wait to be in a place where all my friends will be.

# Ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba

# Ba ba ba ba... #

# Heya, don't you know

# We're always gonna stay And we're never gonna go

# Heya, don't you know

# We're always gonna stay and we're never, never, never gonna go. #

-It's... It's the lyrics.

-'Mr T was right.'

If the song is going to represent us as a band,

the lyrics have to be better.

-Just take some time... Hang on.

-PHONE BUZZES

Take some time and work on them and just let me know

when you've got something awesome, all right? One sec. Hello?

Yeah, I bet John's going to come up with the lyrics.

-John?

-Trust me.

-More "nevers"?

Honestly, man, I'm not sure, man. It's two against one.

Like, how could he beat them to it?

50 bucks on John.

See? Mr T knows.

I'll bet you five bucks that these two come up with it first.

'Luke and Theo are going to come up with the lyrics first,

'cos there's two of them.'

Usually, when you put heads together, you come to things quicker.

Trust me. Give John some time, and he'll wow you.

All right. All right. Five bucks.

-JOHN:

-'I'm honestly not sure how I come up with my lyrics.

'It's a very weird process,

'and they usually just come to me spontaneously.'

I don't know how to explain it.

-Yeah.

-Hey guys, guys?

I think I might have something. Just listen to this.

# Heya, don't you know

# Some day you're gonna hear us on the radio

# Heya, don't you know

# Happens so fast these days I gotta take it slow. #

Yeah, it's a lot better than what we have now, so...

Yeah, I was thinking that.

What did I tell you, man? Let me hear that money dance now.

-Wow!

-JAMES LAUGHS

-All right, man.

-Pay up.

-That's that, bro.

Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you.

-Hey!

-Hey. Aren't you so excited for auditions?

Yes! Can you believe how many people we're going to have in here?

I know! They're going to be stacked outside in the parking lot.

-And like, on the patio.

-Yeah! Oh, my gosh!

Do you remember when we auditioned? Oh, man.

How could I forget?

What was your first impression of me?

Well, I mean, it hasn't changed much.

-I thought you were pretty stuck-up.

-Oh, OK. OK!

'When I first met Leia...'

I did think she was stuck-up, because...

Well, have you met her?

Sorry, I'm having a lot of trouble with the sound system.

-Can you guys help?

-Oh, yeah, sure.

-Thanks.

-You coming?

-Meh, I'll just stay here.

OK. Come on.

'I am not stuck-up!'

I'm just aloof...

and mysterious.

BACKING TRACK PLAYS

LUKE PLAYS FULL-ON SOLO

'Luke is definitely giving it all he's got here.'

But I think all he's got is a little too much.

Well, that was fun...

but can we do another pass of that

and then do something a little bit more simple with the solo?

I think it's great the way it is.

I think it adds something completely different to the song.

Yeah, it does add something different to the song,

but it doesn't really go along with the song.

I practised this solo at home for hours, and it sounded great.

I don't know why nobody else is into it.

I will do another pass, but with the solo I just did.

'The standoff between Luke and Mr T is pretty awkward.'

Um, this is kind of a moment where...

it's kind of quiet.

So, you're really married to the solo the way it is?

Yes, I am.

Then this is when the music producer goes out for coffee.

-Wait, where are you going? I'm recording the session.

-Mm-hmm.

'I don't know why Luke is acting like this.'

There must be something else going on.

So, uh... Who's going to go talk to him?

-It's all you.

-Yeah, I'll talk to him.

You ever think about how great the sandwich is?

I mean, who thought of this - to put food between two hunks of bread?

It's like food that comes with its own handles.

That guy's a genius. I once used a sandwich as a napkin.

It was very absorbent.

-You know what I'm waiting for?

-What?

A sandwich that comes with its own Wi-Fi.

That way, I can game and eat my sandwich at the same time.

LUKE LAUGHS

See, that's better.

Come on, what's going on?

I don't know. I just wasn't happy with the guitar like I tried to do.

It happens, man. It's nothing to worry about.

I really see greatness in you, and in me, and in the band,

and I really feel like this could be our moment to make it

and do something with it.

I just wanted to seize that moment and not let it get away.

I get it completely. I mean, look at me.

I'm the king of living in the moment.

I just... I look back on time I spent with my mom

and I just wish I could have seized that, you know?

Losing my mom really helped me understand

that you have to make every moment precious.

You have to enjoy it. You have to live in it.

Because now is what matters.

I'm not trying to compare what I'm going through with...

I know, I know. What you're feeling is completely OK.

It's completely reasonable.

But we're either going to make it, or we're not going to make it -

and we're not going to know until that happens.

So you got to relax and take it easy.

What happens if we don't make it, though?

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that we're doing what we love.

-You're right.

-And eat your sandwich.

I'm not really hungry.

Fine, then I'll have it -

cos as we know, I love the sandwich.

Oh, I know. You went on about it for, like, five minutes.

I know! It's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

John, take four.

# Hey

# Take a break

# You're so caught up

# You're gonna trip into your downfall... #

'John is really good at talking me down

'when I get too worked up about something.'

So I went back and recorded a better solo, and it's all good.

# You worry so much about making it You're missing it all

# Oh, oh... #

OK, hang on, hang on, hang on. That wasn't bad,

but what are you thinking about when you're singing the song?

Uh, I don't know.

Well, I need you to think about something.

You know what?

I'll dedicate this to my rock star buddy, Luke,

who's still pouting,

even though he laid down that guitar track

the way it was supposed to be laid down.

THEY GIGGLE

'We're a band, and I can't do this on my own.'

And in all honesty, I don't want to.

I love these guys.

All right, then. Let's go again. OK?

OK. John, take five.

# Hey

# Take a break

# You're so caught up you're gonna trip into your downfall

# Oh oh... #

'We all just want to be great.'

And we're all going to get there together.

# You worry so much about making it You're missing it all

# Oh, oh

# If it's gonna be the best day of your life

# Gonna be, gonna be the best day... #

'I think our dreams as a band are going to come true, for sure.'

This is the best place to be, to make that happen.

# Heya, don't you know

# Some day you're gonna hear us on the radio

# Heya, don't you know

# It happens so fast these days I gotta take it slow. #

So, we'll see you at auditions?

-Yeah.

-Good.

'I've always dreamed of being in a place like this.'

I'm just so excited.

# You gotta be ready when the haters come and crush your style

# Oh, oh. #

Hey, man. What's going on, bro?

What you doing, man? What you doing? What you doing, man?

What's going on, boys? How y'all doing?

You OK?

Hop in. I'll give you a ride.

'If I get into Lost & Found,

'that means that I can spend a lot less time in my neighbourhood...'

which is a good thing.

# Heya, don't you know

# Some day you're gonna hear us on the radio

# Heya, don't you know

# It happens so fast these days I gotta take it slow

# Like the stars that rise and fall

' From so far out, so small

# If some day your back is against the wall

# Don't worry

# Don't worry at all. #

# Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

# Whoa, oh, oh, oh

# We are the lost and the found

# Don't know where we stand

# But it's solid ground

# This is your shot Let's see what you got

# Only your 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. #
