from Weston, Florida who has had a meteoric rise in the music industry. In January of 2011 the
multi-talented musician who taught himself to play the drums and guitar at a young age, put out
a few homemade music videos on YouTube which immediately created a buzz and attracted the
attention of music business insiders who began to guide Jake on his journey.
Ever since Jake Miller began posting his original songs on YouTube a few years ago, the 21-year-old Miami-born pop artist has been building a virtual army of fans. His millions of social media community followers call themselves the Millertary and come to his concerts wearing camouflage and greasepaint under their eyes. They are devoted to Millerβs irresistible musical blend of pop and hip-hop, combined with the positive messages in his songs.
Miller has independently released two EPβs: 2012βs Spotlight and 2013βs The Road Less Traveled, which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart. His full-length album, 2013βs Us Against Them, sold over 33,000 copies and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Rap chart. One of MTVβs 2014 βOnes to Watchβ artists, Miller has shared stages with Mac Miller, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, Asher Roth, Jason Derulo, Cody Simpson, Austin Mahone, and Sammy Adams at various radio festivals, including Y-100βs Jingle Ball and the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, where he performed for a crowd of more than 200,000 screaming fans. He also sold out a 43-city House of Blues Tour before a major record deal, driven primarily by his incredible social-networking presence.
Now Miller is set to extend his reach even further, having signed to Warner Bros. Records, and will release his new single βFirst Flight Homeβ on July 5th. Produced by Danish songwriter-producer Cutfather (The Wanted), the track is an irresistible calling card for Miller, who credits Eminem, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Drake as inspirations. Hailing from the South Florida community of Weston, Miller began rapping when he was 17, but began to take it more seriously a year later when his YouTube videos caught the attention of local news and radio stations. This led to his first-ever live performance β a plum slot opening for Snoop Dogg in 2011.
Having built the Millertary on his own, Miller is looking forward to seeing what he can achieve with the support of Warner Bros. Records behind him. βItβs obviously a dream come true,β he says. βThe night that I signed my record deal we released a video with my family and friends in it, popping champagne and celebrating, it was the greatest night of my life.β
Saved Me
Jake Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was down
I was down
Now I'm all the way up
Almost drowned
Pulled me out
Right before I gave up
You saved me
Yeah
I was dropped
From the top
Hit so hard I went numb
When we met
I was lost
Didn't know who I was
You saved me
You saved me
These last couple years fuckin' sucked
Drank a lot, smoked a lot
Long nights I didn't sleep a lot
Told my friends I'm too busy for love
I was looking though
Couldn't find it though
I was losing hope
Then one night you fell down from the stars
Shining a light into the dark
And you picked up all my broken parts
You know who you are
Who you are
I was down
I was down
Now I'm all the way up
Almost drowned
Pulled me out
Right before I gave up
You saved me
You saved me
Yeah
I was dropped
From the top
Hit so hard I went numb
When we met
I was lost
Didn't know who I was
You saved me
You saved me
These last couple months, change of plans
Drinkin' less, smokin' less
Better sleep, better sex
You make me wanna be a better man
A thousand nights I prayed
That you would find your way
Then one night you fell down from the stars
Shining a light into the dark
And you picked up all my broken parts
You know who you are
Who you are
I was down
I was down
Now I'm all the way up
Almost drowned
Pulled me out
Right before I gave up
You saved me
You saved me
Yeah
I was dropped
From the top
Hit so hard I went numb
When we met
I was lost
Didn't know who I was
You saved me
You saved me
Only you, make me smile on my darkest days
Only you, you know how to take the pain away
Only you, only you
I was down
I was down
Now I'm all the way up
Almost drowned
Pulled me out
Right before I gave up
You saved me
You saved me
Yeah
I was dropped
From the top
Hit so hard I went numb
When we met
I was lost
Didn't know who I was
You saved me
You saved me
The song "Saved Me" by Jake Miller is a ballad about finding love and how it helps to heal emotional wounds and puts life back on track. The song tells the story of a man who was struggling with life and didn't know who he was, but then he met someone special who saved him from drowning in his sorrows and helped him to become better. The lyrics suggest that the singer was struggling with depression and addiction to alcohol and smoking, but the love he found helped him to overcome these problems.
The first verse describes the dark place where the singer was before falling in love. He was drowning in his sadness and just when he was about to give up, someone saved him. The second verse suggests that the singer was successful on the outside but lost and numb on the inside. He was lost and didn't know who he was until he found love.
The chorus repeats how he was saved twice and how the person who saved him is special. The last verse tells us that he has been a better man since he found love, and life is becoming better than it ever was.
Overall, the song "Saved Me" is about how love helps people find light in their darkest moments and helps them overcome problems like alcoholism and depression.
