HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Spouses" is not recognized
Darren Michael Jessee is an American drummer, songwriter, singer and member of the rock bands Ben Folds Five and Hotel Lights. In 2014, Jessee joined Sharon Van Etten's touring band.
Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in North Carolina, Jessee currently lives in Brooklyn. Ben Folds Five are known for energetic live shows and vocal harmonies. Jessee's drumming style has a strong jazz influence, from his longtime love of the genre. Referred to by WXPN's Bruce "Dan" Warren as "Ben Folds Five's secret weapon", Jessee formed Hotel Lights in 2003 after many years writing songs, playing drums, and touring in the trio. In his own band, Hotel Lights have had their songs featured in hit TV shows (Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill) and a major motion picture Baby Mama. The song "Sky High" written by Jessee and performed by Ben Folds Five was heard in ABC TV's Quantico.
Ben Folds, on a recent iTunes Originals compilation, credited the Jessee-penned chorus for "Brick" as the missing element to a song that he had tried to compose for a long time, remarking "I've never understood a hit chorus. I wish I did."

Lyrics
When you're making your way
When you think to yourself
You've got it made
You're a good looking girl
With access to everything
Look at you go
Letting you go is trying
Look at us now
Look at us now we're dying
Watched you get on a plane
Cause we're getting ourselves straight
Don't you take it too bad
I always knew I was your mistake
Look at you go
Letting you go is trying
Look at us now
Look at us now we're dying
Letting you go
Letting you go is trying
Look at us now
Look at us now we're lying
Vaya con dios baby
The river flows on
I hope you find it
Everything you want
Damn I’ve thought about you lately

"Everything Hurts You Now" was originally released on Hotel Lights Get Your Hand In My Hand in 2016.
You're mixed up
Something on your mind
Is there something you wanna say
Everything hurts you now
Getting in your own way
Everything hurts you now
You're downtown
Dancing at the bar
Floating into chaos
Homeschooled and beautiful
It's a big world you figured out
Everything hurts you now
Truck stop speed and spinning minds
There's no highway back there
Walking out across the bridge
It's really raining down
Not much gets in or out of kings county
Without getting it's ass kicked
You're at the end of it all
Please watch your step
Bird songs what if they're not that strong...

SONG INFO:
The original acoustic demo of Magic recorded by Darren Jessee and released on "The Garden Place" compilation. It's pretty great.
DISC INFO:
Everything here is lossless since all of it was released officially. Yes, In Love's demo was released with this much distortion. No, there is nothing I can do to fix it.

Lyrics
What are you up to tonight
Getting off the train
I'm high and light as air
If you wanna hang
Summer girls reading books in sheer dresses
Aching to fall giving it all and leaving messes
The vibe's gonna be
You and me anything you need
I know we've been going out a lot
You're cool with all my friends
I'm the boy who feel in and got the gorilla killed
Summer girls reading books in sheer dresses
Summer boys giving it all and leaving messes
The vibe's gonna be
You and me anything you need
I can tell your mood
Honey barrel emoji
Boy chasing balloon that's me

Before I'm through the hills
First thaw of spring
Clear-eyed chasing

The trees tell me
You're gone too soon
I'm two hundred today
See my branches sway
There you go
Wild and ascending blue
It's gonna take time
The hawk tells me
Before I'm flying free
Above everything
Clear-eyed soaring
There you go
Wild and ascending blue
All you knew left to be discovered new
There you go

You're mixed up
Something on your mind
Is there something you wanna say
Everything hurts you now
Getting in your own way
Everything hurts you now
You're downtown
Dancing at the bar
Floating into chaos
Homeschooled and beautiful
It's a big world you figured out
Everything hurts you now
Truck stop speed and spinning minds
There's no highway back there
Walking out across the bridge
It's really raining down
Not much gets in or out of kings county
Without getting it's ass kicked
You're at the end of it all
Please watch your step
Bird songs what if they're not that strong
If their songs aren't songs at all
Just lights going off and on
All the time it's overwhelming
You're mixed up
Something on your mind
Something you wanna say
Somewhere inside your now
Getting in your own way
Everything hurts you now
You're at the end of it all

"We don't do demos" is a thing Ben would often say about Ben Folds Five, as Ben usually demo'd the songs on his own for the band and the band usually didn't record rehearsals or rough takes. As such, we don't have much in the way of demo material between 1994-1999. This is a compilation of the scraps we've gotten between those times, a few demos and alternate takes. Everything here is good, there's just not much.

Darren Michael Jessee is an American drummer, songwriter, singer and member of the rock bands Ben Folds Five and Hotel Lights. In 2014, Jessee joined Sharon Van Etten's touring band.
Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in North Carolina, Jessee currently lives in Brooklyn. Ben Folds Five are known for energetic live shows and vocal harmonies. Jessee's drumming style has a strong jazz influence, from his longtime love of the genre. Referred to by WXPN's Bruce "Dan" Warren as "Ben Folds Five's secret weapon", Jessee formed Hotel Lights in 2003 after many years writing songs, playing drums, and touring in the trio. In his own band, Hotel Lights have had their songs featured in hit TV shows (Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill) and a major motion picture Baby Mama.
