Jacob steps onto the stage after being announced and smiles as he looks around the place filled with smoke and some drunken people Jacob had been here many many times too many to count actually but he had never actually performed here he would usually just come to drink but since he was trying to stay away from that he couldn't tonight he was only here to perform a few songs for a few of his fans who had came out tonight then head off Jacob picks up his acoustic guitar off of the stand and puts the strap around him then heads over to the mic stand that was set up he smiles once again as he speaks to the people there
"Hey guys what's up? My name is Jacob and I'm about to play you guys a few songs come covers and some originals hope that you all enjoy it and if not then oh well I tried right?" He laughs a little then smiles again before he began strumming his guitar he then moved back closer to the mic and continued to strum his guitar
"So this first song was my debut single I released this one a long ass time ago it's called "'Cause of You" enjoy" he smiles and continues playing for a little before he started singing the song was one of the slower songs from Jacob's album and it was his debut single like he said earlier so this song meant a lot to him Jacob sang in that rather nice smooth voice that people tend to love from him he sounded almost the same live as he did recorded if not then probably better he continued singing the song and even sounded like he was heartbroken or really missing someone which he probably was as he continued it's pretty much known by now that him and his ex girlfriend Harmony Sparks from Metallic Swan broke up it was awhile ago Jacob was most likely still missing her probably a lot too he continued singing the song showing a lot of emotion as he did Jacob looked out at the crowd as he continued singing through the song sounding really good it had been awhile since Jacob had given a live performance the last time was probably with Izzy a long time ago but Jacob seemed to have gotten better than before which is good since he was already a pretty good singer and his guitar skills were amazing as always Jacob continued singing through the verses pre-choruses and chorus sounding pretty good but he sound his best when he reached the bridge of the song singing with so much more emotion than before and showing off his voice a bit more as well and how much he had improved with it and he then sang the last chorus sounding really good better than the last two before he then brought the song to an end and smiled as the people in the little crowd started to cheer
I look around everything reminds me of you
But you can't be found I only have the memories
Of us where did you go when will you be back I can't

I still don't know why we're through and
I'll never know never know why we ended

Was untrue and if I could go back to that day and change it you know
That's what I'd do
it's so hard to think straight when all I can think about
is you when I close my eyes I see you're face and I just don't
know what to do
I'll never know never know what went wrong
I still don't know why we're through and

chest and baby it's all 'cause of you it's all 'cause of you
You it's all 'cause of you you it's all 'cause of youAs the people around continue to cheer Jacob smiles to himself he hadn't realized how much he had missed performing live until now he loved the connection he felt with his fans when performing live and it also gave him a rush doing so he smiled and let them clap and cheer as they began to die down a little he moved closer to the mic and spoke again
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed that that song is on my debut album 'Chasing Changes' which some of you probably have bought if you bought the album can you make some noise?" He moves away and let's the people in the crowd cheer showing that they bought the album he moves back and speaks again
"Okay how many of you have illegally downloaded the album?" He moves away and let's them cheer again then laughs before stepping back over to the mic "Well that's completely fine I still love you just not as much as I love the people that actually bought the album" He laughs before speaking again
"Just kidding you're all my buddies and I love all of you you're al equal in my heart...well apart from the people who bought the album they have a special place right here that the others don't" He pats his chest then laughs again "But seriously I really do love all of you so much you're all awesome anyway moving on this next song is another track from my album it's about a girl I went to school with she was one of those you know bad girls some would go as far as calling her 'the devils daughter' but I use to call her" Jacob begins playing the familiar tune that had a rather bluesy sound on his guitar and stopped speaking for a little he just continued playing that blousy type song on his guitar he moved back to the mic with a little smirk
"Well I use to call her Heartbreak Girl the crowd started cheering after Jacob had finished the sentence now knowing the song he was about to play he continued playing through before he started singing the first verse to the song matching the mysterious bluesy sound with his voice sounding almost like the song could fit in an old detective movie in a way Jacob continued singing it with those smooth sounding vocals he continues singing through the next few verses and choruses singing amazingly showing probably the best vocals he had shown live before on this song he had sang this song a few times and it was his favorite to perform and it was clear why by the time the song ended he was showing off those vocals even more going from smooth to a but more scratchy but in a good way after the song ended the people in the crowd began cheering once again

"So you guys like that song huh?" the people cheer a little again and Jacob smiles
"It's one of my favorite songs to sing so thanks guys anyway this next song is probably one of my biggest singles it peaked at #2 on the charts which is seriously crazy but yeah that's thanks to all you guys it features a lovely young lady who goes by the name of Isabel Merjos she's an amazing artist and she couldn't really be here tonight so I'll be singing this one alone so don't expect it to be as good" He laughs a little then begins strumming the beat to the song on his guitar as the people begin to cheer again he moves back to the mic and begins singing the first verse of the song which was one of his more upbeat songs Jacob sings through the first verse which in the song is originally his verse he sings it pretty good singing in that smooth cool voice that Jacob sings after he finishes the verse he goes into the chorus which was originally shared with Isabel he takes the whole verse by himself this time sounding pretty good as he sings after he finishes the chorus he goes into the second verse which was Izzy's he had changed it up a little to fit his voice a bit more as Izzy sang it a bit different than this he finishes up the verse singing rather well then sings the chorus again the same way as before then made his way into the bridge after that he sings the chorus once more then finishes the song and the people there start to cheer once again

Jacob smiled as they continued cheering for a little as they began to calm down Jacob spoke
"Woo you guys are so awesome I love it this is fun for me how about you guys you having fun?" the people began cheering once more
"Awesome I'm glad that I'm not the only one that could be a bit embarrassing you know?" He laughs a little
"Okay so you guys know what I think? I think that every girl should be serenaded at least once in her life what do you guys think?" The crowd begin to cheer again and Jacob smiles
"Okay then why don't I serenade one of the many beautiful ladies here is that ok with all of you?" The crowd cheer once again Jacob then takes his guitar off and places it back on the stand before getting off of the little stage he heads over to the people out in the crowd and they begin cheering loud he then heads over to one of the girls and whispers something in her ear before holding his hand out she takes it and leads her over to the stage he helps her up before getting back up on it himself he then pulls out a chair from the back and puts it near his micstand so she could sit down he then picks his guitar up and looks at the girl and smiles a little
"Hey it's nice to meet you what's your name?" Jacob smiles as he puts his Guitar strap back over him he then bends down a little to hear the girl speak she tells him her name and he smiles before moving back to the mic
"It's nice to meet you Hannah" He smiles then looks out at the crowd
"Let's give Hannah a hand guys" He smiles and the people begin cheering for her
"So then this song is going to be the first cover of the night hope you guys know this song" He smiles and begins to play the chords to the song 'Nothing On You' by Bruno Mars and B.o.B anf the people begin to cheer as the girl smiles Jacob looks down at the girl and smiles back at her before he started singing the lyrics to the song singing it rather well Jacob was a pretty big fan of Bruno Mars and loved this song he looked at Hannah as if he was singing the song to her and she smiled as he did Jacob continued singing the song singing it rather well until he ended it he had replaced the word "You" with Hannah's name which caused her to laugh a little Jacob then ended the song and hugged the girl and gave her a kiss on the cheek before taking her over to the edge of the stage and helped her off of it he then made his way back over to the mic and smiles
"Thanks Hannah it was great getting to sing to you you're beautiful" he smiled and everyone began cheering once again
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you Hannah
Nothing on you Hannah
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you Hannah
Nothing on you HannahI know you feel where I'm comin from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun
With no directions just tryna get some
Tryna chase skirts livin in the summer sun
And so I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none
There's so much nonsense, it's on my conscience
I'm thinkin Maybe I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wonderin if there was somethin that you wanna know
But never mind that we should let it go
'Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode
And all the bad thoughts, just let 'em go (go!)
Go (Go!) Go
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you Hannah
Nothing on you Hannah
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you Hannah
Nothing on you HannahThe crowd then calm down once again and Jason speaks again
"Alright glad you guys enjoyed that so I'll be singing two more songs tonight then I'm off this song is the last single off of my album 'Chasing Changes' I wrote this one awhile ago this is a really personal song it's really close to me and maybe some of you this song is for anyone who had battled any kind of addiction whether it be sex, drugs, alcohol or anything else this one is for you I really hope you guys can enjoy this song and if you know the lyrics please feel free to sing along I would love that" Jacob begins plucking his acoustic guitar getting as close to the original song as he possibly can the recorded version was played on an electric guitar and now he was playing the acoustic version of the song Jacob began singing the song he closed his eyes as he sang it Jacob clearly put a lot of emotion into this song even on the smaller parts like the verses it was clear how much this song meant to him and how much he could relate to this song just by the sound of his voice he sounded almost as if he was going to break down at any moment Jacob hadn't performed this song live before it was his first time he didn't think that he'd be performing it for the first time in a bar it was a little awkward but he was doing it anyway Jacob showed a lot of emotion through the whole song but none of that compared to the ending of the song which was the best part of the whole song after Jacob ended the song he opened his eyes and stood there looking out at the people there as they started to cheer him on he stayed quiet now for a little as they didn't stop for awhile
Mark this day as the day I make a change no more
Sitting here no more living in fear no more of these
Tears I want no more of these bottles no more throwing
Away myself no more of this I'm gonna be somebody
Else I'm gonna give it up but tgen I realize I need it so
Much its what's keeping me up I need it I need it
I'd like to better myself but I keep slipping up
I'd like for someone to care but they don't give a fuck
Lots of problems I'm trying to shake off but they come
Back I'm getting too tired to run but I still won't give up
Not now its time to be tough time to move on and start
Chasing changes chasing changes chasing chasing chasing
ChangesI can't look into the mirror I don't want to see what I've
Become relying on something like that to hold me up
I've got a problem I admit it but I'm to addicted to quit
It if I try I'll just give in I'm tired of this so tired of this
I'd like to better myself but I keep slipping up
I'd like for someone to care but they don't give a fuck
Lots of problems I'm trying to shake off but they come
Back I'm getting too tired to run but I still won't give up
Not now its time to be tough time to move on and start
Chasing changes chasing changes chasing chasing chasing
Changes
I don't want to live this way but I don't want to quit
Today I'm not ready to stop right now what am I saying
I'm done now I'm gonna prove them wrong face my
Problems head on I'm gonna be strong I'm gonna be strong
I'd like to better myself but I keep slipping up
I'd like for someone to care but they don't give a fuck
Lots of problems I'm trying to shake off but they come
Back I'm getting too tired to run but I still won't give up
Not now its time to be tough time to move on and start
Chasing changes chasing changes chasing chasing chasing

I'd like to better myself but I keep slipping up

Not now its time to be tough time to move on and start
Chasing changes chasing changes chasing chasing chasing
ChangesAs soon as the crowd calmed down and got quiet Jacob moved over to the mic to speak once again
"So this is the last song of the night it's one of the newer songs I've written it wasn't on my album I haven't released it and I've never played it before this song is another song that is really personal to me it's basically about not being there for the person you love and messing up a good relationship and wanting to get it bacj but knowing that you can't and yeah I just really really hope that you guys like this song and hope that maybe some of you can relate to this song oh and before I go I wanted to say thank you all for everything you've done helping me with my career and helping me reach places I never though I ever would I honestly do love each and everyone of you you're all amazing don't let anybody tell you otherwise thanks again for buying the album or illegally downloading it however you got it just thank you for listening to it and supporting me and pushing me on and everything else anyway this song is called 'I'm Sorry" Thanks again guys Jacob begins slowly and gently plucking the strings giving off a slow sound Jacob moved closer to the mic and began singing the first verse in a gentle voice as if he was talking to someone this song was clearly a message to someone most likely his ex girlfriend 1/2 of Metallic Swan Harmony Sparks the lyrics sound like the song could be about her which it probably is Jacob began singing the chorus keeping the song really slow and still singing in that lighter voice still the song was a really sad and emotional song which a lot of people could probably relate to Jacob continued singing through the chorus of the new song before going back into the verse continuing that slow sound and soft voice he then went back into the chorus again this time picking up the sound a little making it go a little faster than before but still pretty slow as he began singing louder now Jacob then stopped singing and began playing a little guitar solo after the chorus finished up he then moved back to the mic and began singing the bridge showing more emotion here and showing stronger vocals here as well he continued this through the bridge then through the chorus until the end the last "So sorry" was sang in a much lighter tone than the song ended after that and everyone started cheering louder now than they had before Jacob nodded and smiled a little before moving back over to the mic
"Thanks guys I love you have a nice night and drive safe" Jacob then stepped off the stage with his guitar as the people continued cheering
Come on let's have one last chat sit down

Changed and I probably can't change it back
I'm sorry (I'm sorry) so sorry if I could somehow change that day
You know that I would and I'm sorry (I'm sorry) so sorry I wish
