#werenotokkk . . . So with all the things happening in the world, I've struggled with what it is I can do to help. I strive to continue to educate myself and help using the privilege I was born into but at times it feels like it's not enough which is so frustrating. I doodled this song as a way to vent my frustrations. . . . I love all of you and if you are a person who is being perpetrated and following me, I support you 100%. I apologize for the language but fuck nazis, fuck white nationalists, fuck racism, fuck judgement, fuck Donald Trump. . . #politics #donaldtrump #notmypresident #charlottesville #music #musicaltheatre

I need song requests for a video I'm making. Any genre is cool, and if you recommend one you may get a shout out in the video:)

[jakesmithsings]

Man, that Persona 5 OST is so good.

[jakesmithsings]

Hahahahaha you guys are super dumb for watching @floatslikebricks and mine stupid videos. But I love dumb people. And I love you all. So so much. Thank you for supporting @shortonegaming and I hope you continue to come back and watch us be silly. We have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

50000000 hours later. I have my P5 print done for Animazement. Here is to hoping it does well with everyone else doing it. I just really enjoy Persona as a whole. 

Reblogs are always appreciated.

I’ve been relistening to the Persona 4 musical again!! and I wanted to get down some doodles of all my favorite lyrics for each song! If you haven’t listened to it yet, please do here omg it’s incredible!!

It was written by the absolutely incredible @floatslikebricks and @jakesmithsings ! 

This is only the first half :P you can find the rest here!

[jakesmithsings]

Holy crap. Gina, gina look look look (she's across the room from me right now but we're watching Harry Potter and I don't want to interrupt). I constantly forget that we actually wrote this so whenever someone brings it up I get so excited. Thank you so much for this gift, it's amazing and we're so glad you liked the work. @floatslikebricks

Hey, what have you been up to theatre-wise lately? Also, do you wanna be my friend?

I'm working at a theater this summer performing in a production of Guys and Dolls directed by Hunter Foster and I'm music directing a series of shows by performed by the theater's interns which should be fun! Also, always working on writing some new stuff to show off in the future!And hell yeah, let's be buds!

[jakesmithsings]

Little fun fact before my question: I only keep two emails in my inbox and one is you following me on twitter because that was a happy, happy day. I apologize if you've answered this somewhere before, but what are your inspirations for writing music, and do you have any advice for other starting-out songwriters?

Holy crap, that's incredibly kind of you. I swear I'm just some punk kid😅 but truly that means the world to me.I have tons of inspirations! Of course, traditional new age theater writers like Jason Robert Brown, Pasek & Paul, Sondheim (not new age but duh), and stuff like that. Sara Bareillis is also a huge inspiration on the pop side of things along with writers like Sting or Chris Thile. More than anyone, though, my favorite new age writer is a guy named Adam Gwon who wrote the show Ordinary Days which was a big inspiration on a lot of the music in Like Dying Things Do. Sorry that sort of rambled, hopefully that answered your question! Also apologies for typos, I'm on my phone!

[jakesmithsings]

Okay first of all you're so crazy talented?? What the heck you're amazing Also I saw you're majoring in musical theatre and I was wondering what school you go to? If that's too personal I completely understand, I'm just a curious egg haha Anyways hope you have a fantastic day and continue your incredible work!

Oh my god you're an absolute sweetheart! And not too personal at all! I go to The University of Michigan!:)) Try thank you for your kind words!!

[jakesmithsings]

Musical Grumps | A Game Grumps Fan Song

Music by Jake Smith Lyrics by Gina Smith Performance by Jake Smith

This is OLD (and somewhat dated), but we thought we would upload it anyway since we both always enjoyed this little number.  This was originally posted to both SoundCloud and Tumblr (on our other accounts) a little over a year ago.

–

As is usually the case, this is the result of our taking a joke a little too far. Ever since the Game Grumps made an off-hand comment about a Grumps musical in their playthrough of Mario64, we’ve joked that we should be the ones to make it. Flash forward to now and you get a ridiculous, lighthearted musical theater style homage to two of the people who inspired us to start doing Let’s Plays!

Follow along with the lyrics here.

Listen to the full song here!

[jakesmithsings]

Persona 5 is real, guys. It's real and I own it.

[jakesmithsings]

This is so damn cool. I totally know 500 isn't that many, but it's awesome knowing that people are tuning in and enjoying our stuff. We enjoy it so so much, so we hope you guys stick around and continue interacting with us.
