Jean (why we decided not to do it)

This is a very upbeat alternative song by Clean Cut Kid which was one of my groups song choices, but we decided to scrap the idea as the song itself left us  with limited range as the title and majority of the lyrics focus on a 'Jean' character. Due to this, the lyrics do not leave much room for exploration as they tell a very clear story, of a man in love with a woman who is no longer with him. This was not something we wanted to go into as it is very stereotypical and has been done several times in music videos covering several different genres.


Jean by Clean Cut Kid

I sing along along and I listen to my heartbeat 
and then I make believe it's yours
I hear the phone ring and I call for you to answer it
But you are not her anymore

I changed the channel and I look to see your eyes roll 
But no ones there to look across 
I'll always wonder where this fifty something years go 
But in my living room I've loved 

Jean
Won't you find me
Jean 
Won't you find me

I hope our children find a love like you and I do
Someone to guide you through the years 
I sing along and I look up to the sky too
Until my eyes are filled with tears

You're in my seconds, in my minutes, in my hours
And not a single day will pass
When I don't dream about a time God will allow us
To be together Jean and I

Jean
Won't you find me x4

Did I ever dream that we be seeing out these years so 
Far apart
Jean I hope you find me in the dark
You will always be, my Jean
