Jade Defrancia - The Green Room

Hi and welcome to the Green Room[00:04.32]Where I'll be sharing the story[00:05.97]Behind each song in this album[00:08.05]I released one song a month[00:09.88]On particular days[00:10.98]That meant something to me[00:12.54]This coincidentally transitioned[00:14.57]Into a love story[00:15.69]Between two people[00:17.05]And for myself[00:19.61]Kryptonite, my first single was released on 8/18[00:21.73]A consistently appearing angel number in my life[00:24.98]That symbolizes the end and beginning of a new chapter[00:28.53]Kryptonite is about the moment that two people meet[00:31.53]And there is an undeniable cosmic connection[00:34.69]I decided to write this song[00:36.25]About the everyday supermen[00:37.81]That are often running around[00:39.25]Saving the day[00:40.57]This song is a reminder[00:41.85]That they too can relax[00:43.13]And enjoy themselves[00:44.58]They can take their capes off[00:46.01]And let down their guard[00:47.52]Kryptonite doesn't make them weak[00:49.21]It makes them human[00:50.33]And there's nothing wrong[00:51.69]With being human[00:57.28]Into You was released on 10/10[00:59.06]Which is another angel number[01:00.92]Symbolizing union, twin flames and true love[01:04.53]Into you is about the feelings[01:05.89]You unintentionally have[01:07.65]When you're genuinely falling[01:09.34]For the right person[01:10.71]They talk to you, hear you, comfort you[01:13.69]And understand you[01:15.05]They reciprocate the energy[01:16.61]And effort that you give[01:17.93]And you find yourself[01:19.14]Feeling and falling in love[01:27.10]Cold was released on 11/11[01:29.10]An angel number that is a reminder[01:31.22]That you are divinely guided[01:33.40]I love that this song[01:34.73]Was released in November[01:36.07]A cold month[01:37.09]With new relationships[01:38.64]There is often times[01:39.73]A moment of miscommunication[01:41.56]Or radio silence[01:43.28]You start questioning[01:44.43]What you're doing[01:45.30]And where things are going[01:47.46]This is for the moment[01:48.53]When the person you're into[01:49.89]Seems distant and cold[01:56.43]Lights On was released on 12/12[01:58.65]Which calls attention[01:59.85]To the ways in which[02:00.79]You show up in your relationships[02:02.81]As you follow along this storyline[02:05.14]She's now telling him[02:06.77]I don't have time to play games[02:08.73]If you're going to be with me[02:10.25]This is who I am[02:11.49]I'm confident in my skin[02:13.42]And have accepted all my flaws[02:15.42]And insecurities[02:16.79]If you're serious about us[02:18.87]I can give you my all in a way that is[02:20.93]Uninhibited, real and unconditional[02:23.73]You can[02:24.65]At the end of the day[02:25.68]Keep the lights on[02:31.19]Not Every Dream is Jaded was released on 1/31[02:34.02]My birthday[02:35.49]Considering it's my story[02:37.09]It made sense for it to be released[02:38.73]on the day I was born[02:40.47]This is the story of my life[02:42.41]And the pivotal moments[02:44.05]That guide my ambitions and decisions[02:46.22]If you're going to be with me[02:47.75]You need to know who I really am[02:50.14]This is the message to myself[02:51.86]And to others[02:52.82]Who have experienced sexual abuse[02:55.17]And have come close to death[02:56.65]Let your experiences drive you[02:59.01]To achieve your dreams[03:00.33]And remember[03:01.29]Not every dream is jaded[03:07.68]Touch Me All Over was released on 2/15[03:10.28]My engagement anniversary[03:12.46]This song celebrates love[03:14.45]And is about giving full permission[03:16.36]To your significant other[03:17.81]To explore your sensuality[03:20.17]This one is for the long-standing[03:22.03]Committed couples[03:23.41]Who are still madly in love[03:25.62]For the ones who continually[03:26.97]Accept one another[03:28.33]And who dare to keep the passion[03:30.08]And fire alive[03:31.05]In their relationship[03:37.29]Picasso was released on 3/15[03:39.17]My daughter, Jane's birthday[03:41.82]This is where the album's storyline breaks off[03:44.19]As this song was not originally[03:46.52]Intended to be on this album[03:48.01]Inspired by Picasso's blue period paintings[03:51.70]This song uses the symbolism[03:53.56]Of a painter and his muse[03:55.43]The muse describes how comfortable she is[03:58.33]Revealing herself to her painter[03:59.52]Both physically and emotionally[04:02.02]This plays into the discovery by scientists[04:04.25]Of underlying paintings[04:06.05]Beneath some of Picasso's[04:07.62]Most famous works of art[04:15.57]See You Again was released on 4/30[04:17.75]The angelversary of my husband's close cousin[04:20.56]Who passed away leaving behind[04:22.49]A wife and two sons[04:24.63]I was visited by his cousin in a dream[04:27.05]And woke up in an overwhelming[04:29.04]Flood of tears[04:30.77]This was emotionally the hardest song I've written[04:33.85]I method acted and cried[04:35.97]To the point where I couldn't breathe[04:37.93]In order to write a majority of the song[04:40.33]This was the very first song[04:42.13]That my producer, Lamar and I recorded[04:44.70]We chose to record this song on 4/30[04:47.21]Without realizing that it was his angelversary[04:50.57]That's how I knew[04:51.81]I was in the right place at the right time[04:58.21]Line in the Sand was released on 1/31[05:00.56]Along with the remaining two songs of the album[05:03.33]I chose this date because[05:05.42]It would bring the single, the album[05:08.27]And my 33rd birthday full circle[05:10.25]I wrote the notes that started this song in 2015[05:13.45]When I simply had enough[05:15.86]I drew my line in the sand[05:17.38]But every once in a while[05:18.89]The waves seemed to creep in[05:20.93]And erase the boundary I drew[05:23.38]This metaphorical creation[05:25.01]Is one of just two[05:26.42]Co-written songs on the album[05:28.63]Shoutout to Odalys Pacheco[05:30.21]For this poetic masterpiece[05:36.89]Live My Life is about pursuing[05:38.97]The life of your dreams[05:40.48]And more importantly[05:41.29]Doing what you love[05:42.83]When you follow your dreams[05:44.37]You find your purpose[05:46.16]I believe that the universe[05:47.50]Pulls its strings[05:48.75]And moves mountains[05:49.95]To make it possible[05:51.63]We are spiritual beings[05:52.81]Having a human experience[05:55.12]but when you trust the process[05:56.56]And have faith[05:57.73]I believe we become humans[05:59.29]With spiritual experiences[06:05.06]Visions is the last song of the album[06:10.30]This song was co-written with Nicci[06:12.51]And was inspired by our[06:13.82]Job quitting stories[06:15.80]This song is a reminder[06:17.00]To not let your dreams collect dust[06:19.26]Or else they'll become[06:20.29]Nightmares that haunt you[06:22.09]So believe in your dreams[06:23.95]And shoot your shot[06:25.62]Because you might[06:26.45]Just make it happen[06:30.53]In the end[06:31.36]I grew physically[06:32.18]Emotionally and spiritually[06:33.70]As I progressed through[06:35.14]The making of this album[06:36.57]That spanned almost two years[06:38.41]As I near the end of this album's production[06:40.98]My advice to everyone listening[06:42.98]Is to trust that you will have[06:44.43]All the right puzzle pieces[06:46.22]When you are ready for them[06:47.62]As you take inspired action[06:49.51]And make faith decisions[06:51.58]The details will fall into place[06:53.93]Trust the process[06:55.00]Have faith in the universe[06:56.98]Believe in yourself and[06:58.51]Do the work
