there are so many ways to connect with people now.
so many ways.
social networking, cell phones, email, instant message, text messaging, airplanes, cars, trains, telephones, television, webcams, personals sites, pen and fucking paper.
so many ways.
so many ways of fucking connecting with other human beings...
and none of them work.
none of them.
no matter what you do...you can't get in.

That's not true - I don't believe that. And you have the gift of music, my dear, that must work!
Yes, maybe. But maybe the best way to connect two minds is look or listen when you are in front of someone. Sometimes you don't even need to connect by this means.
But the first thing to do is get connected with yourself. Are you?

Excactly what I feel. Ahh, loneliness, my one and only companion.
Isn't that the most ironic thing about all the advancements in technology. We can communicate with people so easily now, and yet still feel completely alone.
In all the years I have put myself out there on the net, I have only met TWO decent people. One turned out to be my best friend! To which I would say don't give up hope. You are a beautiful and thoughtful person, I would be lucky to meet a guy like you in the real world!
Version 1: you don't seem to realise you don't have to work at connecting with people. You are, apparently unconsciously (Hmmm!), already connected - to all those who love your songs.
Version 2: you are detached, uncomprehendingly, in a distopian mental void, where only the disturbed try to connect with you.
No marks for guessing which explanation JB prefers :)
Yes. "Only connect" as E.M. Forster said. Easy in todays world, but incredibly difficult. If only to be alone, but not lonely.
Don't say that... You've already let us in. We have already been into your bed through lonely collective nights... And how can you think you put yourself into ours heads and hearts and we can't grab a grasp of your soul and feelings through the songs you write and the moments you share with us. This falls in my description of love. Be good. =*
Might go back on my statement after my recent philosophy class.
Why are you trying to get in someone else? Are you already done with yourself FIRST? ;)
Look at you, spinning truth into poetry.
I heard your voice for the first time today, and it was worth it.
I hear you Jay :/
(But as Anisha said, your music has touched many people...But im sure thats not what this post was about.) My best wishes,

Oh Jay Brannan. i would pretend to be a phrenologist just so I could grope your marvelous face.
This a really nice song about this .It in Hebrew and it says that the human being is like a "locked garden" that can not be reached.

What's the point of getting in when there's nothing there, just space, emptiness.
Love,

Sounds like you are feeling pretty lonely, I often feel the same way.
Cheer up!
Didn't you know?
Out magazine has pick as #1 of the most eligible gay bachelors!
You are the man Jay!
You are awesome, never forget that.

They all only work if you want it to work. Paper is just plain white until you write something, then it has words. A computer is just a box of plastic and wires until you use it and type, search, etc and make it a computer. You make it work not the other way around.
Nobody is deafer than the ones who won't listen
it so hard
but looking around and the hope light up your life
from Russia with love ))
All those things are mechanical devices, their only use is facilitating getting to other people. The only way to connect with a human being is one on one, person to person touch of flesh to flesh, whether a hand shake, kiss, hug or more. Since we are all born flawed and grow up being hurt over and over again, the best we can do is find someone who makes an equal effort at not hurting each other.
I don´t agree with you.
Maybe it can happen in your life, but there are many persons with happy lives. Not all time, but during a good part.
I don´t see you putting replies for the persons. I think I saw only 1 time - I didn´t read the blog so much -.
Maybe it´s your truth. I don´t know you to be sure. However, I need to say many persons put really good comments here. Some talking about loneliness, other remembering about being in contact with our souls (like DEMIAN and AMIR). For each one, a truth. So, some are happy and other, not so much. But we are all alive.
It´s strange. You say you feel lonely, but when some fans try to have contact with you, you post some like that comment about people you don´t know and about advices you don´t believe and/or you don´t want to hear. Well, I know many artists who like their fans and consider their support a fountain of strength. Exactly now, it´s in my mind the name of an artist who always asks things for the fans. And I can cite other who really reply not everything, but most part of comments, including critics. Sincerely, I consider it EXCELLENT!
About the comments, what I can say is: when a person gives me a device, I thank, if I feel the person is trying to help me. Some counselors became my friends and I feel gratitude when I remember they helped me. Maybe some devices can be plain, but not everybody had the same chances to study. Okay, I read something you said the school was terrible for you. I believe. It was very hard for me, too. Yes, I am a gay, too. And, please, believe me: I wasn´t handsome like you, I was considered the ugly and graceless. But I wanted to study. And I succeeded.
I don´t know. You talk so many times about being poor. How can be poor a person who had those several International trips? I had never put my feet in another country!
I must say I agree with some of your comments - like "judge" is a very used word nowadays -, but I disagree with other.
For example, BEN remembered (very well) you were considered an example of beauty by OUT. Many persons, here, put multiple comments about your beauty. Is not same thing to become happy? How many persons would like to hear, at least once, they are beautiful! And you hear it all the time! I say because I had never heard the praises about beauty you permanently receive. But, even being not that model of beauty, some of my friends say I´m "sunny", because I want to be happy. And I can say I live happy moments (of course I have troubles like everybody).
Think about what I wrote. If you disagree, reply me. In my life, I thank deeply some advices I received, that´s why I will post here as "Counselor".
Only a CORRECTION: please, read "some thing" and not "same thing", for the phrase "Is not some thing to become happy?".
shallow - you're just not open to it.
just wanted to let you know that estás bien sexy
Feels good to find someone on the same wavelength. Everything you say feels like something personal
I know it's fucking hard right?
It's almost like being a robot. Can't feel something you can't see or identify.
Every time I connect with someone I experience a kind of buyer's regret. Why is that? Is it because I'm old and prefer to be invisible? Or that contact interrupts my solitary good cheer? People nearby only contact me to complain about their lives but they never ask me why I don't complain back. ... Well, actually, I have many wonderful relatives and old friends who do not complain. But I don't believe in long distance relationships so I make effort to avoid them and always neglect to return their phone calls. I'm entitled to be eccentric, lol. ... P.S. You look cute in basketball gear, and it takes some energy to play, so I suspect you have an upside to you that you are ashamed to admit to. That's OK, we all have our secrets.
