"Won't Give Up" - Jorge "Jay" Rivera-Herrans

[@lapse2237]

Hearing him say "Hello Everybody" instead of "Hello my friends" is making my brain have an aneurism.

[@prysthaea7735]

I can't tell if it's poetic or ironic to have this recommend to me 4 years later, after he's already widely recognized for his incredible music.

[@jacobspalace2720]

both. both Is good

[@Greenyoshi72]

My favorite thing is Jay’s first musical ending with “imma keep on playing the game, ‘til everybody I inspire’s out there doing the same” and flash forward to his next musical popularizing the idea of documenting writing musicals on social media.

[@fontamora]

This guy is gonna make a epic musical

[@naturenora]

Ha. Ill be waiting, waiting

[@thefollower89]

Well don’t put too much pressure on the guy remember he is just a man, we should greet with open arms anything he comes up with 😂

So glad we are finding more of MR JALAPEÑO without him telling us to find them. Wonder if he knows these are still around

[@katiefinnerty453]

I got literal chills that was beautiful, so sad that he can't see how many people have found and loved this song after seeing EPIC. Fly high Mr Jalapeño ❤🕊😢

[@JustLilyTbh]

LMAO WHY 🤣 How did the joke about him dying even start?

[@thecockatiel]

It's so sweet how his family and friends still post pre recorded videos on his account so we can still have content 😔 RIP 🕊

[@Lunoer]

@@JustLilyTbh i think it was from a video ab someone talking about hispanic men who wrote their own musicals and casted themselves as the main character, and at the end it said "fly high mr jalapeño" or something 😭

[@erenyeager1660]

It was because he was focusing on the Wisdom Saga and wasn’t posting much

[@Dawn_the_dragon]

It’s almost like we can still hear his voice… almost like he’s still posting.. 😞 fly high jorenbong

Well, he wanted to engrave his name to our brains.. He did. And we love him for it! Keep goin', Mr. Jalapeno!

It’s weird to see this right now- after the release of the wisdom saga- i love how Jorge has pushed through and come this far, he really is epic.

[@Humifiedalien]

I love watching songs from this musical, I feel like I can almost see (or hear) Jorge become the absolute artist he is today!!! Absolutely epic tbh

[@Mr_pokeadventure]

Say that last part again?

It’s young Ody!

[@책잘읽어주는누나]

Yall I think he's gonna make a really epic musical, yk I just have a feeling.

[@chloebenson7118]

You might say he's on a journey- an odyssey even, of success

[@polarbears3197]

He’s on a narrow journey but they’re are other ways

Guys this may seem crazy but i think this guys gonna make a musical based on the odyssey by homer

[@Rowan-g5n]

Wow! That would be totally *EPIC*

[@buggymah]

Omg that’s such a cool idea that you definitely just randomly thought of but yeah he should totally do that. Another random thought he could call it EPIC and divide it into sagas

[@AUserYouMayKnow]

I feel like this musical will be legendary

[@hungduy4655]

Yeah and he would totally show Poseidon’s ruthlessness

THANKYOU i thought it was just me, also the rhyme scheme is so awesome and very hamilton coded, i love it

[@misfits9294]

Ok, I'm sorry, don't do that to him, I love Lin and the songwriting reminds me of him (major compliments) but he is not the best singer. Tho the rapping does sound a bit like him.

Except Jay can sing.
