Wyatt J. the woods album concept

By: Wyatt T. Jacobsen

From: Hip-Hop/Rap album “the woods”

It all started in 2024 when a 13-year-old boy had an idea. His name was Wyatt and he was very new to the music industry. He had worked on past songs and albums through 2022 and 2023 that were never released, but Wyatt wanted to make an album to release. He wanted the world to hear his ideas and start a music career. He wanted to do all this but he needed someone to do it with him. 

Then his friend Noah came into the project. The plan was they were going to work together to create a 12-track album. They were so excited to work on the album and make music, that they forgot an important music rule “never, ever, rush your work”. Wyatt wanted to hurry up and make an album. They both rushed it by making beats fast and lyrics that didn't go right to the beat. They had the first checkmark done, which was the story and concept. The problem was they left all the other parts to a good album unchecked. They continued to rush and even ended up announcing the album and setting a release date when they weren't even done. That meant that they had a date they had to be done by, making it even more of a race to finish. 

Wyatt’s first song, “One Way Road”, was released, making it not only his first released song but also the lead single to their new album. The song did sell well, but didn't have good lyrics and wasn’t good quality. The “replay value”, (A meter that shows the chance of a listener playing the song or album again), overall, was super low. They released the album a couple of weeks later, and that same thing happened with replay value. People were excited to see what Wyatt and Noah had done, but the quality and music in general was so bad. The only song that did well on the album other than “One Way Road” was the song “Gas”. Wyatt did a live concert of the album and it went well, but that album still had lots of problems. 

Months later, Wyatt made more singles, released them, and they were way better and had very high replay. The songs were hits, but Wyatt wanted something better. He needed a new album that was good and people would like. He needed a new start and to come back into the music and entertainment world, but he didn't know what to do. 

Wyatt loves music so much that he took an old radio from the garage and a flashlight with him, and he ended up running away from home all the way to the middle of the woods. He ran so far he didn't even know where he was. He was lost in the woods in this new reality. It was like a different world. Everything was quiet and peaceful and the weather was very nice. He continued to walk and look around the woods enjoying the beautiful trees and plants around him. He even turned on his old radio to listen to music. The radio had lots of static and then was cut to a news station. Wyatt was having trouble understanding what they were saying. It appeared they were talking about Wyatt. They were talking about how bad his last album was and many other topics. Wyatt didn't know if he was mad or happy about this, but then a song kicked in. All the static stopped and you could hear the radio channel clearly. Wyatt just continued to walk and walk and walk past all the trees. He felt happy that he got a fresh start to something, but he didn't know what. As he kept walking in the endless trees and grass, he was given time to think about the past and other big memories or situations. He was given time to reflect back on the past, and that only motivated him to do better. He continued to think about his old love life and old friendships that are still going, and some that ended. He thought about all the people he loved, and all the people he hated or was mad with. He kept walking for hours, and the radio kept cutting in and out on the ends of songs or sometimes would stop playing. Wyatt would have to hit it a couple times so it would start playing again. He noticed a lot of the songs went along with the thoughts and ideas he had in his head. It was as if the songs were about him and about what he was thinking and feeling. The songs shared deep thoughts and some songs were sad, some were motivating, and some sounded mad, but best of all, some songs were happy and about being a happy person. 

After listening to songs for hours, thinking about lots of things and walking a lot, it started to get dark. The night was coming into the woods. Wyatt felt like he was ready to go back home to the real world. Wyatt liked the woods because it gave him time for a restart. It made him a better person, though he was worried about his dad being mad at him for running away, but probably his dad would understand. He was feeling motivated to be himself and he was ready for his new comeback in the music world. He knew he would get better over time and he would never rush his music, work, and life ever again. After thinking about all these things, he walked into the night.
