Potent Love Lost & Found Music Studios

-Do you want it?

-What?

-It's yours.

This guitar. I'm not really sure what to do with it

or even how to hold it.

-What school do you go to?

-I'm home-schooled.

My parents are really strict.

No-one here really knows my story and I think I like it that way.

Just to be clear, you don't like Luke?

-Not even a little bit, like not at all?

-No!

-Don't like him?

What I did was open up a huge door for her to just waltz

right in and take him herself.

# I like who I like

# No matter what you say. #

Leia and I are collaborating together for the first time.

We've written a song called Potent Love,

and we're just performing it to see how it sounds.

# I don't sugar-coat it

# They love me or they hate me

# Yeah, my folks... #

I'm really enjoying singing this song with Leia.

We're really hitting it off with our musical styles.

So, it's going great.

# They say the ground's waiting for me

# But I got a good heart, they don't know me. #

I partner up with Maggie because I want to get to know her better,

plus, she won't be partnering up with Luke, so that's a bonus.

# Potent love

# Potent love

# Potent love

Leia and Maggie sound amazing together,

and the song that they wrote is awesome.

# Shout out to my misfits and my caterpillars

# Waiting to be butterflies. #

I think it's going well, so we'll perform at the open stage today.

Open stage is where everyone comes out with new songs

and plays them in front of an audience for the first time.

# They don't know me

# I get away with too much

# Running out of my luck

# But I'm just living off of no fear, no hate. #

-That's actually really good.

-That's really good.

-Oh, my gosh.

I'll be right back.

-So good.

-Thanks.

-Your song sounds amazing.

-Oh, thank you.

-Are you going to use that for the open stage today?

-Oh, I don't know.

Why? Do you want it?

-Are you serious?

-Yes. I'll just send it over to you.

-Thank you.

Yes, no problem.

I'm so happy that Maggie gave me

the song to sing at the open stage today.

Hey, so, Maggie, I'm thinking when we do the song for open stage

we should switch off on the verses and then harmonise on the chorus.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you want to do that.

I told Hannah she could sing it.

You're joking, right?

I mean, all I said was that Hannah could sing the song, I mean,

what's the big deal?

I'm so sorry. What can I do?

There's nothing you can do right now.

Maggie is in so much trouble.

She is about to learn that there's some rules around here.

-# We are the lost

-The lost

-# And the found

-The found

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

-# It's your shot

-Take it

# See what you've got

# Only the true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa, whoa, whoa. #

# And I get goin' cos I know

# Know, know, know

# I can never get enough. #

Mr T, hi.

So, Maggie has something to confess.

OK, um, Leia and I co-wrote a song.

And then Hannah asked me if she could sing it out open stage today,

and I said yes.

Without my express written consent.

So, how's the song?

Oh, it's an excellent song.

-And you gave it to someone else to sing?

-(Yeah.)

Hmm.

What I like about this, is that Maggie is going to learn her place.

Everybody, come on, come here.

I'm feeling really nervous. Leia's basically ratting me out.

I'm new here. I don't want to get in trouble.

I'm told that Maggie and Leia have written a song,

but Maggie has given it to someone else to sing,

without Leia's permission, which is really uncool.

Finally, Mr T is going to set Maggie straight.

Leia has every right to be upset, but in the end, I don't really care.

In the songwriter spirit, since any songwriter should want to give their

songs to other people to sing, I've decided that you're all going to

learn the song, and if you come up with something that you're proud of

you can present it to us at open stage tonight.

Er...

Not how I saw this going!

Great, thanks.

It's going to be so fun, as one of the songwriters, to see

all these different versions of Potent Love.

So what you want to do about the new song?

I feel like it's good, but it's just missing something.

Jude and I are working on Potent Love.

It's an R&B type arrangement, different from the others.

We're just having some trouble deciding who should sing what

and what should go where.

-RAPPING:

-My name is Isaac

And I'm coming on the scene.

I'm just trying to get him to rap

so that we can think of something fresh and new for our song.

A-ha, my raps are too quick.

You can't stop me ever again because you know that...

Hold on, hold on.

-I found a...

-What is that?

-..a book of some sort.

I actually have no idea.

I pull it out and we open it up, and it's just filled with lyrics.

-Man, this is deep.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being lied to, there is a higher power

that I should cry to.

Is he with me? I think he should be, but I can't tell if it's true.

These lyrics are too deep.

You've got to go to the Marianas trench in the middle of the ocean,

dig a hole put yourself in that hole,

and then it'll give you an idea of how deep these lyrics are.

I really wonder who wrote these.

Jude and I looked through the whole book but we couldn't tell anything.

We couldn't even tell by the handwriting

if it was a boy or a girl.

Losing a book with amazing lyrics like these?

'It's a travesty.' Let's keep looking through, though.

We might find some more stuff.

The sound is so much better than the first album.

-And it's even better when it's on vinyl.

-Partners?

-For open stage?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, sure.

-Sweet.

-OK...

-Hey, Annabelle, partners?

-Yeah, totally.

We called the green room.

-Why don't we all just get together as a group?

-Yeah, it'll be fun.

'We're all hanging out in the same space'

and we're all awesome musicians, so it just seems to make sense.

That's not going to work. We don't know each other.

To be in a group, we really have to click.

When I was at camp, we played all these get-to-know-each-other games,

so we would tell our deepest, darkest secrets,

stuff we hadn't told anyone before

and we all got really close and we're still friends today.

-No...

-Can I go first?

-Of course.

'I like the idea of telling secrets'

cos I'll hopefully fit in more.

Before you tell your secret,

you have to hold the Truth Guitar.

This is really lame, you know that, right?

OK...

'I only have one big secret and it's a secret I can't tell Maggie.'

It's that I like Luke.

'How am I going to get out of this?'

So a couple of years ago, I was at my first music festival

and my dad put me on his shoulders so I could see

cos there were so many people and I fell into the crowd of people

and so I was crowd surfing.

It was really cool up until the point

where I got put right up on stage

and I'm, like, crying cos I'm so embarrassed.

What I didn't tell them is that I peed my pants.

I don't think I'm ready to share that secret yet.

All right, who's next?

'I have no idea what I'm going to do,'

so I'm just going to wait it out and see what comes to me.

One, two, three...

# Like who I like, no matter what you say

# I do want I want

# I say be real or die

# You're nothing if you're fake

# I do want I want

# I don't sugar-coat it

# They love me or they hate me

# Yeah, my folks, they done tried

# But they can't even save me... #

Sorry.

-Eva, what's wrong?

-Nothing, let's just go from the top, OK?

-OK.

'When I'm rehearsing Potent Love with Mary,'

she sounds beautiful as always, but I just can't get into it.

'I recently lost my diary and I'm so worried

'about someone finding out about all my deepest, darkest thoughts.'

# I like who I like

# No matter what you say... # EVA STOPS ABRUPTLY

-Uh...

-What's wrong?

I don't think I can do this.

I think you just have to find another partner.

'I have to find my diary before anyone else does.'

I just keep picturing my parents.

They're very strict and they would never approve of what I write.

I can't let them or anyone know what I'm going through.

Let's see, um...

Oh.

-I really like ants.

-Oh, I know that already.

-That's not really a secret.

-Do you know why?

It started when I was four and I got an ant farm.

They were my best friends, especially the queen.

She had it so together.

I just thought it was really interesting

how they all worked so hard and they were so organised and...

I don't know, they were kind of like me.

Rachel's story is just really weird.

Ants are tiny and gross and you're supposed to step on them,

not make friends with them, so...

Anyone else?

OK, uh, I'm ready to tell my secret now.

OK, but, guys, this has to stay between us,

like, code of silence, no telling anyone, OK?

I didn't go next, because other than I like Luke, I got nothin'.

OK, so, when I was in grade four,

my teacher said that it was almost impossible

for two people with blue eyes to have kids with brown eyes.

But both of my parents have blue eyes, so I put up my hand and said,

"You're wrong, because I have brown eyes,"

and she said that I must have been one of the rare exceptions.

But I could tell it kind of bothered her,

so I went home to ask my parents about it and my mom,

her eyes, they just filled up with tears and, uh...

..she told me that I... I'm adopted.

And, yeah, they were going to wait

until I was a little bit older to tell me.

-OK, thanks.

-'After hearing Maggie's story,

'I feel so much closer to her.'

I definitely feel like we have a new bond.

Oh, my turn!

'I feel like I just want to be Maggie's sister.'

Like, I feel so close to her after that.

-Thank you.

-'Looks like I'm up next.'

I have to find some way to not tell my big secret.

# I'm so afraid to say

# I know you'll run away, yeah. #

# Sometimes I feel like I'm being lied to

# And there's a higher power that I should... #

Ring a bell?

-Let's go.

-'Jude and I,'

we're walking through the Junction to see if anyone owns this book.

# Sunday morning, it's all the same

# I came to your house and sang your name. #

They're really looking at us like we're crazy.

Why, I don't know. These are some good lyrics.

# I paint my eyes when you can't see

# You know it's wrong, but it's what I need?

Nah?

HE SIGHS

Does this book belong to anybody?

We've been through almost this whole building

and we still don't know who owns this book.

# But I've got a good heart, they don't know me

-# They say, they say... #

-'I heard Mary lost her partner,

'so this is my chance to finally show everyone here what I can do.

'I'm really, really, really nervous to ask Mary to partner with me,'

because she's such an amazing performer.

I think she's so talented and I would love to work with her.

-Hey, Clara.

-Hi.

I was wondering if you... if you wanted to be my partner.

I really want to nail this performance.

I think I should just stay solo.

'Clara's nerves often get the better of her.

'She couldn't even perform in the sing-along with Hannah.'

Um...

Clara, I'm just not sure that that song suits our voices.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Yeah, mm-hmm.

-Bye.

-Bye.

'I have no idea why she doesn't want to be my partner.

'I don't want her to think that this affects me and for her to think'

that it really hurt, even though it did.

Well, I guess you guys want me to tell you some secret story,

truthful story...

I'm still stalling,

because the secret I have is one that Maggie can't hear.

Um, it's just that there's too many, I can't pick just one.

Well, you won't have any trouble with the truth guitar.

You have to have something.

'Leia is definitely stalling, because she doesn't want to share'

her big secret about liking Luke.

-So, um...

-MOBILE TEXT ALERT BLEEPS

-I...

-Oh, guys,

I just got a text from Mr T. He said we had to go watch a performance.

-Oh, my gosh, sweet.

-Cool.

-Who's performing?

'So I probably have about 20 minutes

'to make up the greatest pretend secret ever.'

# Can you see into?

# Can you see into? #

# I like who I like

# No matter what they say

# I say be real or die

# You're nothing if you're fake

# I don't sugar-coat it

# They love me or they hate me... #

Isaac and Jude sound incredible.

I had no idea that Potent Love could sound like that.

# ..save me

# They say the ground's waiting for me... #

We still do not know who owns this book.

But we love the lyrics so much

that we wanted to add them into our version of Potent Love.

# But I'm just living life with no fear, no hate

# Potent love

# Potent love

# Potent love... #

I noticed Jude holding a book

and I realised, "That's my diary."

But I can't claim it now in front of everyone.

HE RAPS: # Yeah, sometimes I feel like I'm being lied to

# And there's a higher power that I should cry to

# Is he with me?

# I think he should be

# But I can't tell if it's T-R-U-E-nough

# I said, these people, they see me,

# They bar like they're building a step on a stage, gimme it easy

# Cos I'm the man, I said so

# Insecurities, you've got to really let go

# Headin' to the top, do a right

# Through the darkness, we will fight

# Cos I can't see through the light

# I don't understand, you need to shine bright

# They say the ground's waiting for me

# Cos I can't see... #

When I see Isaac and Jude up on the stage

singing the words from my diary, I feel completely exposed.

I just want the ground to open up and swallow me whole,

I don't want to be here.

-# Potent love

-Cos I can't see through the light

# Potent love... #

These words were never supposed to be said out loud

and I just want to...disappear.

# I'm living off of no fear, no hate

# Potent love. #

WHOOPING

I have to get my diary back before Isaac and Jude

reveal anything else about me.

I can't afford to have my thoughts exposed like this.

# I like who I like

# No matter what you say

# I do what I want

# I say be real or die... #

Her song is going amazing.

I think the girls are awesome. They have great chemistry.

# I don't sugar-coat it

# They love me or they hate me... #

'Singing this song is definitely helping me forget about the secret

'that I have to tell the girls'

and I'm kind of hoping that it's helping the girls forget too.

# They say the ground's waiting for me

-# They say, they say

-But I've got a good heart, they don't know me

-# They say, they say

-I get away with too much

# Running out of my luck

# But I'm just living off of no fear, no hate

# Potent love

ALL: # Pour, pour it up

# Potent love

ALL: # Pour, pour it up

# Potent love

ALL: # Pour, pour it up

# I'm living off of no fear, no hate

# Shout-out to my misfits

# And my caterpillars

# Waiting to be butterflies

# It'll be all right

# They say the ground's waiting for me... #

Thanks a lot, guys.

-For what?

-For reading my diary out in front of everyone.

Your diary? I-I'm so sorry.

You have amazing thoughts.

No-one should know what's going on in my head.

ALL: # Pour, pour it up

# Potent love

# Pour, pour it up

# Potent love

# Pour, pour it up

# I'm living off of no fear, no hate

# And potent love. #

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

Everything in that book is glorious.

I wish I could write lyrics like that.

Thinking the thoughts in my diary is bad enough,

but actually performing them?

I could never do that.

Maggie pulls us out so we can hear Leia's secret

and I'm really intrigued to find out what it is.

So why are we missing Hannah's performance?

Cos you've still got to tell us your secret.

'Leia's been weird all day and things got kind of awkward on stage.

'We really need to bond,'

so I think she kind of owes it to us to tell us.

Yeah, why won't you tell us?

-I don't want to seem like I'm bragging...

-Good, brag away.

OK, so...

..I actually was in a girl group with Selena Gomez.

Well, more of a duo.

It was really fun.

Actually, I met her while we were both busking at Disneyland.

-That never happened.

-'Why doesn't Leia want to bond with us?

'I mean, after all that we shared with her,'

she just turns around and gives us a fake story?

I don't get it.

Uh...

I know Leia's got nothing except the Luke secret.

Guys, guys, listen.

I know why Leia's been lying to you.

It's... It's because her secret, it's top secret.

Right? Um...

So Leia's parents...

..are spies.

Yeah! You guys can't tell anyone.

I don't believe that Leia's parents are actually spies.

It's sort of a far-fetched story,

but it's really sweet for her to go and defend Leia, so I get it.

So I guess we're a girl band now? Sweet! Let's go!

'I'm so grateful that Rachel saved me.'

This is a very true testament to our friendship.

# I like who I like

# No matter what you say

# I do what I want

# I say be real or die

# You're nothing if you're fake

# I do what I want... #

Mary's performing her solo version of Potent Love

and it's so good

and the whole time I'm just wishing that I got to sing it with her.

# My folks, they done tried

# They couldn't even save me

# I do what I want

# They say the ground's waiting for me... #

Mary's performing her version of Potent Love

and she sounds incredible.

She always puts so much of herself into her songs

and I wish I could be like that too.

# Running out of my luck

# But I'm just living off of no fear and no hate

# Potent love

# Pour, pour it up

# Potent love... #

I can't throw out my diary.

After Jude and Isaac told me that there's good stuff in there,

I have hope.

Maybe it's OK to feel these things.

Maybe other people do relate to me. I don't know.

# Potent love

# Shout-out to my misfits

# And my caterpillars... #

I come to the recording studio

and then I see my red guitar sitting there.

# It'll be all right... #

I can't hide what's going on inside me any more.

# They say the ground's waiting for me

# They say, they say

# But I've got a good heart, they don't know me

# They say, they say

# I get away with so much

# Running out of my luck

# But I'm just living off of no fear and no hate

# Potent love

# Potent love

# Potent love

# I'm living off of no fear and no hate

# Potent love. #

# Whoa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa-oa

# 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've got

# Only your true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa

# Whoa-oa-oa
