Jax

An American singer-songwriter from East Brunswick, New Jersey, born on May 5, 1996,
Jackie Miskanic, aka Jax released a new song entitled “Like My Father”. It is one of her hit

released on the 3rd of June 2021 and the song's length is 3 and 3 seconds, it has a 93 BPM
tempo, an F key, a major mode, a low-intensity level, and a time signature of 4 beats per bar.
She gets sentimental with her new single as it was a tribute to her parents’ lovely relationship
alongside an equally touching video companion. The music video was directed by herself and
the stars are her parents, it was written by Jax, and Wayne Wilkins. The beats and vocals
blended well, producing this masterpiece's deep representation of thoughts and emotion.

Love is not just all about colors and happiness. It is all about patience, enduring stressful
stimuli, sacrifices, trust, and faith. Even looks fade, her body changes shapes he will still say
“Oh my God, you look hot today”. The song talks about how her father loves his mom and she
wishes her future husband will be like his father. “I need a man whose patient and kind, gets out
of the car, and holds the door. I want to slow dance in the living room like we’re 18 at senior
prom and grow old with someone who makes me feel young. I need a man who loves me like,
my father loves my mom”. The song contain of 2 verses, a chorus, and a bridge, producing such
an outstanding song and presenting an impressive record that was positive people would love.

The first verse till first chorus is the reminiscing of the past of her parents. Jax surely
adore her parents love for each other as she tells us the things his father does. What she
learned from her parents about how a man should act in front of his wife, and things he should
tell to his wife. Even when hair starts turning gray, even when the face wrinkled, skin become
dull, the sweetness, love and adoration should not be decreased but instead it should bloom
more. How love brings happiness not sadness and how fun it is to enter a sure thing
relationship. However, first verse gives a too good to be true feeling, a sana all vibe that will
surely question ones relationship if when will I experience this kind of love? Or is there such
thing as a true love?

Love that is full of fun, making memories, childish moments are the things Jax wants to
experience. How she want to travel with her love one, make fun memories, and have kids.
When we grow older, insecurities about physical appearance will hit you hard but the second
verse gave us hope that even when look fades, body changes there still someone who will love
you endlessly.

Every women deserves to be treated like a queen, a man should treat his wife a queen
and a princess to his daughter. The bridge part only talks about the point of view of a women,
she could include the point of view of a man of how a women should treat her husband, things
to say to her husbands, and the balance kind of love. Everyone deserve to be treated like a
royalty.
 The meaning of each lyric was so mesmerizing and all the lyrics were carefully chosen
to blend perfectly with the instruments, scenarios, and melodies. Although it was very specific it
did not stop the song to make more magical. The music video shows different scenarios
wherein her father shows how love should be, how a man should treat his wife, and how a man
should act like a man “I hope that people connect with it. I never really know because I’m always
super close to the music. So it’s hard for me to look on the outside looking in, but I do know that
for me they have set an example, and that is the ideal example of what a couple should be”.
However, that is not the case for everyone. She just give the good side about love, colors,
rainbow, and sweetness but not the bitterness, and sadness which is far from reality. This song
hits so differently when your father was nothing compared to hers. As a daughter who grew up
in a toxic family, with a toxic father, I can’t relate to this but it clearly gave us the message that
we need to carefully choose a man that will surely give us the assurance, care, and love that we
all deserve.

Jax “like my father” get positive feedback, a 9/10 even though many people can’t relate
to the lyrics but it is because the music as a whole really touches one solely, make eyes tear,
and it has an ineffable beauty that surely captures eyes, ears, and hearts. It teaches people to
set their standards high, don’t settle for less, and find a man who will surely treat them like
royalty. Once in blue moon, you will find a man like that but once you will find a man like her
father, you could never ask for more.
 “Like My Father” Lyrics
I wanna come home to roses
And dirty little notes on Post-its
And when my hair starts turning gray
He'll say I'm like a fine wine, better with age
I guess I learned it from my parents
That true love starts with friendship
A kiss on the forehead, a date night
Fake an apology after a fight
I need a man who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're 18 at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
.
I want a road trip in the summers
I wanna make fun of each other
I wanna rock out to Billy Joel
And flip our kids off when they call us old
He'll accidentally burn our dinner
And let me be the scrabble winner
And when my body changes shapes
He'll say, "Oh my God, you look hot today"

I need a man who's patient and kind

Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're 18 at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom

And if he lives up to my father

Maybe he could teach our daughter
What it takes to love a queen
She should know she's royalty

I need a man who's patient and kind

Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're 18 at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
