Lyrics:
Welcome home, Peter Pan, you’re a man
Thought you said that you can’t grow old
Isn’t it a luxury?
Rest in peace, Marsha P., Harvey Milk, Oscar Wilde
Sorry that you can’t grow old
Such a fucking tragedy
I suppose the yellow brick road
Is easier to navigate than it’s ever been before
I feel like the red finish line
Keeps getting pushed back every time I learn a little bit more
I thought that truth would set me free
But it was momentary
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
It was momentary
Welcome home, Icarus, blow a kiss
Thank god you wanted me more than the sun
It’s so romantic
I guess we could assimilate, play it safe, married, kids
But that’s not what we want
It’s just a habit
I suppose the yellow brick road
Is easier to navigate than it’s ever been before
I feel like the red finish line
Keeps getting pushed back every time I learn a little bit more
I thought that love would set me free
But it was momentary
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
It was momentary
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
It was momentary
I thought that love would set me free
Set me free
But it was momentary
I thought that love would set me free
Set me free
But it was momentary
Welcome home, I miss you, I love you
Wonder if they’re playing Elvis in heaven
I thought that peace would set me free
But it was momentary

genuinely so excited to have stumbled onto jake on tiktok. I feel like we're here just at the cusp of him shooting into stardom, and someday we're going to watch him perform at the Grammys and accept enormous acclaim and recognition. This is the sort of song that becomes an anthem and is borderline profound in how touching it is. can't wait to see where you go from here!

[@JeremyWilbur]

You know what’s not momentary? The career Jake Wesley is going to have. This music is beautiful and touching in ways I haven’t experienced. It just feels like a soul cleanse. Thank you for giving us this outstanding music.

MARSHA P. JOHSON was an African-American gay man and drag artist - someone who dresses extravagantly and performs as a woman - from New Jersey, whose activism in the 1960s and 70s had a huge impact on the LGBTQ+ community. At this time, being gay was classified as a mental illness in the United States. Gay people were regularly threatened and beaten by police, and were shunned by many in society. Marsha said the "P" stood for "Pay it no mind" - a phrase they used when people commented negatively on their appearance or life choices. Marsha went missing in 1992 and six days later police found Marsha's body. They said nobody else had been responsible for the death. But many friends argued this ruling at the time, saying attacks on gay and trans people were common. Others said they saw Marsha being harassed by a group of "thugs" a few days before they died. Twenty years later, in 2012, campaigner Mariah Lopez was successful in getting the New York police department to reopen Marsha's case as a possible murder. After the NYPD reopened the case, the police reclassified Johnson's cause of death from "suicide" to undetermined. Marsha's legacy lives on today in organisations such as the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, which says it "protects and defends the human rights of BLACK transgender people". In February 2020, the Mayor of New York renamed the East River State Park in Brooklyn, The Marsha P. Johnson State Park and announced there will be a statue created in honour of Marsha, to be unveiled in 2021.

[@Mgfaulkner793]

You make church music for us beautiful lost boys.

[@MartinAlexanderVideos]

Speaking of beautiful, that was beautiful and I agree

[@Alyssa-cv6ii]

Young Elton John. My 3 year old son loves you. Your music speaks to his little soul.

[@rt3593]

[@autumnchilders9196]

You're music is going to be what will be playing as we drive into this summer's sunsets

[@beckersita1]

[@farrahwild3720]

IM SO HYPED FOR THIS HE’S SUCH A LEGEND

[@mrmarshfellow]

This artist is going to ascend. You heard it here folks. I don’t think my goosebumps will leave anytime soon after hearing this

[@MyRingFilms]

OH. MY GOD. I'm back. Second comment I've ever made on a youtube video. When I tell you my jaw (And roommate's jaws) were on the floor the entire time. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@kalonfilms]

I Feel a lot of Grammys coming up for this artist!!! THIS IS MUSIC! LOVE

[@DaleFrewaldt]

It's been a really long time since a song had a strong enough reaction on me that I sat crying over it. Thank you. It was just the kind of emotional release I've needed to move on.

[@lyndeyrepic6543]

That was both beautiful and devastating. So raw, realistic, dare I saw haunting. A true masterpiece. I cried hearing this. I fully expect that your name will soon be known in every household.

[@HARTHEFOX]

I’ve watched this at least 5 times today and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to stop.

[@Lokassenna]

this is absolutely an anthem for our people. thank you for such a beautiful song

[@macyh883]

LGBTQ community: I love you and I stand with you💕 It's all love where I'm from❤

[@AlohaNLight2All]

My gawd his range. 🧐 What a beautiful gift his voice is! 🥰

[@sofischnoke8642]

Im not sure what it is but I listened to one song. And now im hooked. Ive never heard music this real. IM OBSESSED

[@tinselthread]

Jake, thank you soo much for your art! idk why but i always tear up when singing along to this song. I just listened to Middle of Love again and listening to Momentary right after that tells a bitter sweet story about the power of love and how it was (and still kinda is) forbidden for us queer folks to love. Its heartbreaking but so beautifully told with music that touches my heart

[@DannyCurley]

I feel so lucky to see such a wonderful and excellent music video so early!

[@FeelingFroggy44]

No lie, his voice in this song gave me goosebumps. Excellent job!!!

[@Troydylanallen]

ake was come in fast and hard! He is incredible, but also, how does that man look IDENTICAL to Oscar Wilde???

[@keithwallace2102]

Found him by accident . Live in Scotland and to me a fantastic cross of Lewis capaldi and Sam Smith when he was simply a gay white singer. Can't believe he hasn't broke through. All we can do is share his videos with family and friends. The more people who hear his music the better . Love to all

[@kitkatstrats9516]

Why is this not at a billion views yet? This is the best song of this decade.

[@branbran903]

Man I feel in love with that 12 second clip on Tiktok. This is special

[@kathrink.4071]

This song makes my queer heart ache. Thank you, Jake! ❤

[@christinewhite4193]

Wow! Just wow! This song, this video is incredible!! I am obsessed with him after discovering him just a week ago.
