Title: Lights Off
Label: Kaleidoscope Records
Genre: Country, country-pop
Lenght: 3:54
Writer(s): Bryce Green, Christian Travis, Kelly Nelson
Producer(s): Bryce Green, Christian Travis
Released: April 3rd 2015

About the song

"Lights Off" Is the debut single from country singer/songwriter, and American Idol contestant Bryce Green the song was written by Bryce Green, Christian Travis and Kelly Nelson the song was produced by Travis with the help of Bryce, Bryce began writing the song back in 2012 after an awkward run in with one of his ex's in a bar the song speaks about the run in showing details from the conversation to Bryce's actual thoughts at first Bryce seems hesitant and unhappy that his ex happened to walk in but later on we hear Bryce sing the lines "I don't know why I'm still talkin' to you/Maybe I'm just hopin' for round two" which is basically Bryce questioning himself for still talking to him and questioning the possibility of them starting over while recording songs for his upcoming debut album Bryce found this in his old song book and brought it in to the studio where he got Travis and Nelson to help him fix it up a little then decided it'd be best to release this track as his debut single Bryce also performed the track four days before the release at a small secret concert in the Dirty Bastard Hotel and Casino

The song starts out with with a few instruments playing through the intro what actually give it more of a pop-country feel than just country after the intro finishes we hear Bryce come in singing in his rather smooth southern accent Bryce sings in a more laid back way as the beat sounds as if it's been muted a bit but is still audible through the first half however it eventually kicks back in for the final half of the verse right before it changes up a little for the pre-chorus which is still sung in that more laid back voice however towards the end it gets a little bit faster he then makes his way into the chorus which is sung a little bit higher however the laid-back vocal style we heard before is still there as well as he sings through the chorus the beat begins to really pick up the song and the meaning sound rather different as the chorus has this fun upbeat sound to it which matches nicely with Bryce's vocals however the song which would usually be sung as a ballad is changed up and sung and played in a more fun upbeat style Bryce then makes his way into the second verse and unlike before the beat isn't muted but can be heard in full though it did slow down a bit from the chorus it still has this fun almost popish sound to it with a country twist he sings in the same laid back style we heard before he then makes his way into the pre-chorus after he finishes the second verse which is sung and played the same as before and then the chorus which is also sung and played the same way as before after finishing the second chorus we hear Bryce go into the short bridge where it gets a bit slower and more emotion can be heard in Bryce's voice seeming as if he connects with this part the most almost as he shows a bit more emotion on the fun country-pop record here he then sings the pre-chorus which is slowed down a lot more than the previous times before making his way into the fun upbeat chorus again after finishing this we hear him sing to final lines which are from the pre-chorus before the song eventually comes to an end

Bryce's comments

"I am so proud to be saying that I'm finally releasing my very own professional single I honestly want to thank a few people before I get into the meaning and all that shit so I wanna say thanks to Christian and Kelly for helping me out with these lyrics and then to Christian again who also helped out with the production behind this track, big thanks my brothers Chase and James you indeed are my brothers so thank you for being my brothers haha no thanks for stickin' by my side you know I love you knuckleheads, I wanna thank Kaleidoscope for giving me a real shot, Idol for helping me out along the way and of course all of y'all for supporting me throughout everything y'all are a blessing and I wouldn't trade any of you for anything in this world anyway onto the song I wrote this song a few years back about an experience with an ex who walked in to a bar I was in and basically just started telling me how things were goin' great for him job wise and relationship wise then he start talkin' about us and yeah just listen to the lyrics I mean there aren't any hidden messages I just put it all out there for y'all to hear thanks for checking out my debut single I hope all of you enjoyed it and also thanks for showing up for my performance a few days ago just thanks for being amazing haha"

Of all the bars out in this town
You had to step into this one
Walk on over here, offer a beer
And sit yourself right down
You tell me bout how you're happy
While I just lie right through my teeth
Cause I ain't moved on not at all
Your kiss is still on my mind

Boy you still get me wild
You don't even realize
That with you right by me I'm goin out of my mind
It's too early to be round me baby why don't you
Just head over there

You found me at my lowest
Now I'm sinkin' lower
If I didn't know better I'd say you did this on purpose
I ain't up for reminiscin' but boy you're still talkin'
Bout how we use to lay close with all of the lights off
With all of the lights off


You're talking bout what we use to do
How we'd kiss outside just cause we could
Baby I wish you'd walk out that door
But I don't want you to
Now you got me laughing of course
Cause you know all my favorite jokes
The next song on the radio
Is the one we first kissed to

Boy you still get me wild
You don't even realize
That with you right by me I'm goin out of my mind
It's too early to be round me baby why don't you
Just head over there

You found me at my lowest
Now I'm sinkin' lower
If I didn't know better I'd say you did this on purpose
I ain't up for reminiscin' but boy you're still talkin'
Bout how we use to lay close with all of the lights off
With all of the lights off


I don't know why I'm still talkin' to you
Maybe I'm just hopin' for round two

Boy you still get me wild
You don't even realize
That with you right by me I'm goin out of my mind
It's too early to be round me baby why don't you
Just head over

You found me at my lowest
Now I'm sinkin' lower
If I didn't know better I'd say you did this on purpose
I ain't up for reminiscin' but boy you're still talkin'
Bout how we use to lay close with all of the lights off
With all of the lights off, with all of the lights off


Boy you still get me wild, you don't even realize

Queen: Hmmm....I'm not sure about you just yet. I think this is a cheesy attempt at the "next gay anthem" but it doesn't sound terrible, lucky enough for you. You are basically the sole country artist right now so I'm rather intrigued to see if you can hold it down for a genre that is non existent. As of right now, you need to convince me.

OOC: Nice work :)

Faith: I like the idea of more people being open with their sexuality in their songs, and I also like the idea of country coming into the mainstream, because I think it's a genre that's been ignored for a little bit lately. I think you're cute, and even if you weren't talented, you would get decently far with just being attractive - but, as an added bonus, you're also talented, so there you go. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. You're at an advantage of being one of the few country singers out there, so you really have room to experiment and show off your style for a while before you have to worry about real competition.

Bryce: Well first I want to say thank you for listening to this track ma'am I really do appreciate that but I wasn't trying to release the next 'gay anthem'I was looking to release a song from a personal experience however if people want to see it as a gay anthem I'll give them the go-ahead because that isn't a bad thing tbh but like I said it's not exactly what I was trying to do I mean people release tracks about the opposite sex and it isn't known as the 'next straight anthem' anyway I apologize if I sounded disrespectful because I most certainly wasn't trying to I do appreciate your honesty and hope I can change your opinion on me eventually but if I can't that's also fine anyway thank you again ma'am :)

ooc: Thank you :)

Bryce: Thank you I honestly don't see the point of masking it if you're openly gay people are gonna know that it isn't about the opposite sex so there's no need in innuendos but I guess to each their own right? And I do too like you said country has been ignored for quite some time now and I grew up on it so it'd suck to see the genre just fade out I'm hoping I can do something about that but if I can't reach out to a bigger fanbase I'm fine with that as long as I'm doing what I enjoy and even if it's just a few other people who enjoy it there ain't nothing wrong with that haha and thank you ha I'm sorry I'm not the best at taking compliments about my looks so I'll just say thank you and it means a lot coming from one of the prettiest ladies involved in the industry well in my opinion anyway haha thanks again :)

Valentina: I'm all here for gay pride boo & equal rights, but I also understand that this isn't trying to be some trendy anthem about a gay relationship, it's just a relationship, ya know? We don't have straight anthems, so why should people treat this any different?! This song has such a feel good vibe to it and makes me smile, so thanks for being a qtpie & keep doing ya thing cuz I think we all need a lil more country in our lives. <3

Avil: So you're trying to bring country in to the mainstream, huh? It will take a really big song. Are you ready for that, kid? This is a medium song but you've got some potential. I look forward to seeing what else you can bring to the table.

Bryce: Thank you at the end Valentina I'm really glad you see it that way cause at the end of the day it's really just another song about a relationship it's not meant to be anything else but like I said before people are welcome to see it as what they like and I definitely agree everyone needs a little bit of country in their life haha thanks again Valentina :)

Bryce: Thank you Erica that's one of the things I aim to do I read somewhere I think it was tumblr or something that said "Do something with your life that would make a 1950s straight white man angry" and it's been my goal ever since haha ps keep quite about Arnold the armadillo thank you ladies :)
