Jonas and Plunkett are a songwriting duo from London. They write and perform songs with strong melodies and intelligent, memorable lyrics. The songs are positive and upbeat, yet emotionally appealing. The performance is pure with frequent use of vocal harmony - echoing the sounds of the Everly Brothers, Lennon and McCartney and Simon and Garfunkel. The sound of the live performances is matched in the studio recordings with sparse use of percussion, allowing the vocal blend, and natural organic sounds of the acoustic guitar and cello to combine perfectly.

Jonas And Plunkett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta know if I'm coming in clearly
Static through the speakers
In a second, your heart will be fearless
Taken for granted
Right now, you can't stand it
Break down, it's a show down
Got to scream it out loud
'Cause I'm not faking
Girl, I'm just saying
Hey you, hey you
Now we're into something new
Hey you, hey you
Now you're feeling like I do
Come on, shout it
Let's leave the past behind us
Come on, shout it out
Hey you
Not open to suggestions
I'm dreaming of you and me dancing
No one's interferin'
Gotta do it ourselves
We don't need 'em
Long as we're together
Won't want nobody else, baby
Tell me if you're ready
'Cause tonight you will see
That I'm not fakin'
Girl, I'm just sayin'
Hey you, hey you
Now we're into something new
Hey you, hey you
Now you're feeling like I do
Come on, shout it
Let's leave the past behind us
Come on, shout it out
Hey you
But you doubted me
And you trusted me
And I made you see
How to find your relief
I don't know what to say
Get on your way
I gotta hear you scream
Hey you, hey you
Now we're into something new
Hey you, hey you
Now you're feeling like I do
Come on, shout it
Let's leave the past behind us
Come on, shout it out
Hey you
Hey you, hey you
Now we're into something new
Hey you, hey you
Now you're feeling like I do
Come on, shout it
Let's leave the past behind us
Come on, shout it out
Hey you
The song "Hey You" by Jonas and Plunkett is an energetic, upbeat track that celebrates the power of starting fresh and moving forward. The opening lines of the song ("Mic check, can you hear me? Gotta know if I'm coming in clearly. Static through the singers. In a second, your heart will be fearless.") describe the feeling of uncertainty that comes with trying something new, but also the thrill of taking a leap and seeing what happens. Throughout the song, the lyrics encourage the listener to leave the past behind and embrace the excitement of the present moment.
The chorus is particularly catchy and memorable, with the repeated refrain of "Hey you, hey you, now we're into something new." This reflects the theme of breaking free from old patterns and moving forward into unknown territory. The rest of the song is filled with lyrics about dancing, dreaming, and shouting out loud, all of which suggest a sense of liberation and joy.
