Now that I've experienced that myself, going back and hearing it just really adds to the meaning. Still waiting for the day I wake up and I feel 100% okay, but I hope you'll get there too. 💜

    Mandatory comment as a JATP fan (and trust me, you're going to get plenty of these comments) Perfect Harmony was written by Madison and Charlie who play Julie and Luke and was shown to Kenny as a surprise when they were filming and it ended up being included in the show - I think that just adds to how beautiful the song is.

    Two things:

    2. Luke's parents heard him sing Unsaid Emily. People can hear the phantoms sing even without Julie (happens in "This Band is Back") so they 100% heard him sing that

If Luke's parents were hearing him, both they and Luke would have definitely reacted to that. I'm not even sure why fans *want* that to be the case, it would be weird af.

    Stand tall has a slower start bc the boys were fading out. Julie found out and they needed to play that show to help them cross over so they didn’t cease to exist but they didn’t show up before Julie went on stage so she thought they were too late (they almost were). She went up anyways to honor them which is why she gets so excited when Alex (drum player) comes in bc she has hope again. It’s also why Luke glitched out he had a harder time coming back from the brink. The theory is it was supposed to have a harder drop (when Julie started singing high alone luke was supposed to come in with low harmonies) so when they didn’t show up for that she really thought they were gone.

    So, I am going to explain a little bit, just to give you more context. The guys are dead, they are ghosts, but Julie can see them because they have some sort of connection. Nobody else can see the but when they are playing music WITH JULIE. Nobody else knows they are ghosts, they think they are holograms of people who live far away and connect with Julie online to play music. Also, Perfect harmony is a song that was written by the actors of Julie and Luke. It was not originally on the show but the actors felt like they needed this for their characters, so they showed it to Kenny, and he was very impressed and desided to add it to the show. A lot happened, in between of course, but I am not going to spoil anything.

  • @Abigailk59
    @Abigailk59 10 месяцев назад +20

    Want to answer the questions you had in some of the songs in the vid.
    Stand Tall - they didn't all come in at once because before that they were loosing power and not even Julie could see them. Luke was phasing in and out because he was affected the most by it (which is why the other bandmates looked concerned). The guy who it zoomed in on when the drummer came in was one of the original band members (that didn't die) and used all the songs that Luke wrote and released then himself. He was recognising them.
    Perfect Harmony - not as much answering anything as letting you know that the actors who played Luke and Julie (I forgot their names. Don't flame me in the replies lol) wrote it while they were filming the show and downed it to the director who put it in the show.
    Unsaid Emily - so Luke and his mum (Emily) had a massive argument because Luke wanted to go to a different state to do music with his band (the others who were in the garage in the flashback, playing the instruments) and she didn't want him to go, so he ran away angry. Luke died before getting a chance to apologise to his mum and regrets it all the time (for obvious reasons). They have been stuck in a purgatory-type place for I think 25 years, until Julie listened to their CD and they came back as ghosts, hence why Julie is the only one able to see them. The other 3 guys were his bandmates.
    Luke, Alex and Reggie all died on the night they were going to perform for an audience for the first time. They died to really bad hotdogs from a street vendor.
    Hope this answered some of the questions you asked. Sorry for the super long comment.
    On a totally unrelated note though, love the fit!

  • @Cllocopine
    @Cllocopine 10 месяцев назад +18

    So basically there were four boys who ran away from home to start a band together. The main guy, Luke, always missed his parents and regretted the way he left things with them so he wrote that song, probably hoping to someday have the courage to come home and show it to his parents and apologize. But before he managed to do that he and two of the other guys from the band died. For twenty years the three of them were kind of stuck in limbo until Julie put on one of their songs and they came back as ghosts that only she could see and they started playing music with her.

    in the show, people basically think the ghosts are holograms, which is the excuse julie gave after they materialised for the first time in the 'bright' performance. that's why in universe their band name is julie and the phantoms, both as a nod to the fact they're ghosts and it sort of plays into the hologram gimmick, too. the guy with the beard next to the blonde girl, carrie, is the ghosts ex band mate from the 90s who didn't die, and he went to the concert with carrie (his daughter) to see if it was really them bc he saw carrie watching a video of them performing. so he's basically shitting himself bc, you know, they're meant to be dead, and he stole all of the music that luke wrote. stand tall is much more satisfying when you know the context and have the emotional impact of everything leading up to that performance, as that is the finale song.
    perfect harmony is basically a daydream julie is having about luke, while dancing in class with the guy she used to have a crush on, nick. madison reyes (julie) and charlie gillespie (luke) wrote perfect harmony together, i believe partly inspried by 'can i have this dance' from high school musical, as a surprise for the director kenny ortega (guy behind hsm).

      Perfect Harmony - the song and scene are inspired by "Can I Have This Dance". The choreography and styling (both costume and set) are nods to the movie Dirty Dancing, which Kenny Ortega was the choreographer on.

    I remember the first time I saw the show, I loved so much 'Wake Up' that I remember telling my friend that the songs were good but not one was at the level of 'Wake Up', until the 'Edge of Great'.
    Don't get me wrong, I loved the songs but I thought 'Wake Up' was the best they've done in the first part of the show.
    Now that I've listened over and over to the songs I love all of them equally, but 'Wake Up' is still one of my favorite, with 'Stand Tall'. I just love Madison's voice, and I love listening to her voice!

    I am hom3tly SO anoyed that they cancelled JATP - it’s been 2 years and I STILL love it! It’s one of the few shows that I haven’t ever really stopped watching and listening to. It’s still in my playlists and I watch it every month tbh. It’s such a great song - the fact we’ll get no more songs is just too sad 😢

    Julie and the Phantoms was the show my family and I watched during covid, my sister and I started the first episode and my parents made us restart so we could watch it together. Stand Tall is our kind of family song and we sing or listen to it anytime one of us is having a hard time and it makes me really happy to see this show finally gaining more traction (still hoping for a season 2 one day)

    In Wake Up, Julies actor- Madison Reyes, recorded it when she was only 16 which is amazing
    Also did you know that Madison and Charlie (Luke and Julie) wrote Perfect Harmony themselves and then Kenny Ortega added it for them because of how beautiful the song was- it shows how talented they are

    In Stand Tall, Julie thought that the ghosts were gone for good, but they were actually being forced to play at a ghost club. She went onstage after she got a ‘sign’ from her mom. That’s why they all poofed in at different times. They were fighting to be able to perform with Julie.

    Hi Mathew, thanks for talking about your grief even though it must have been hard. My grandpa passed away last week and he also had dementia, and even though its been really hard to manage the pain you, made me feel less alone during a time I felt isolated. Hearing Unsaid Emily again for the first time after feeling his loss made me cry so much with you and in the process it helped me let go of some of the grief lodged in my chest that I didn't know how to get rid of. thank you for another video❤

    i was adopted when i was 6 into a very loving home. my biological mother was a drug addict, who struggled on and off to get clean. this past january, i found her on facebook, and i almost sent her a message. but, i got too scared and didnt. a week later, she overdosed and died. hearing unsaid emily makes me think abt what might've happened if i had reached out to her...

    I was right. *Tears are streaming down my face.* How the hell does this song do that EVERY SINGLE TIME??

  • @cdmay4
    @cdmay4 10 месяцев назад +2

    18:04 yup. He died i think a few months later. They also weren't able to interact at all until years after they died like not existing as ghosts even they just sort of blinked & a decade or 2 passed in moments for the ghosts litteraly. So like look at how old his parents are now. For them it wasn't that long ago.

    If you wanna know how they died, they ate some bad food and all three of the main boys died from it. The fourth boy (the guy in the audience with his blonde daughter) was their band mate, that was why he looked surprised to see them.

  • @brithebi7342
    @brithebi7342 9 месяцев назад +1

    Context of each song
    Wake Up- this is the last song that Julie’s mom wrote for Julie before her death. Julie loved music, but hasn’t since performed since her mom passed. This is the first time she’s really *played* since her mom died
    Stand Tall- this is the finale performance of the show (because it was canceled). The boys, when in life, were about to play at a venue called the Orpheum the night they died (opening scene of the show iirc) and as Julie and the Phantoms, they have a chance to perform there again. However they’re sort of being held ghost hostage and are sort of dying a second ghost death? That’s why Julie is the only one there at the beginning, why she looks so pleasantly surprised when Alex joins in on drums, and why Luke is flashing in and out before he establishes his presence fully in the song.
    Perfect Harmony- Julie really realizing that she has FEELINGS for Luke. Like, BIG FEELINGS. It’s sort of a daydream thing she’s having in the middle of class/rehearsal (fun fact, the actors actually wrote this song themselves)
    Unsaid Emily- …the context is there already, it’s a love letter to his mom regretting how he left things with her, I don’t need to say much else. Clarifying a couple things though- Luke and two of the other members of Sunset Curve (Alex and Reggie) died a bit after he ran away from home (yes, he like RAN from home, ran from home). It’s not really clarified how long it was, though, or what the fight was about. He wrote the song BEFORE his death, and Julie found the lyrics with some of the other songs Luke wrote for Sunset Curve (the band he, Alex, and Reggie had formed with *insert unnamed fourth member here*).
    On that note, another fun fact- each of the actors ACTUALLY play the instruments their characters play in the show. iirc they purposely cast actors who could play their characters’ respective instruments because they wanted the authenticity of actual musicians

    Definitely hoping you do a JATP part 3 just because you haven't done Now Or Never yet. As a Charlie fan, I can't be happy until you do all his songs 😅 Yeah, the other songs are great and all but... Charlie. I need it 😂

    9:00 He's involved. He's their age if they were still alive.
    9:30 They told her beforehand that something was happening and they did not know if they could make it. They appeared when they were let go.
    17:01 Food poisoning, that the last member knew about and didn't eat.
    18:02 They didn't want him in the band, wanted him to go to college and focus on school. I think anyway. I never cared much for the storyline after a few episodes.
