Johnny Marnell - Going Where I Need To Be [PLATINUM HIT]

[Mozzajobo]

Never watched the show, just stoped on MM and heard it. Such a good summer feel song.

[smsoccergirl]

Jhonny Marnell is my cousin lol i live very close to him and hes officially my favorite cousin

[shebert101]

is it wierd how im still listening to this :D

[sapphirefiredragon]

gonna be roadtripping to this one....love it!

[millmill87]

i listen to this song alot! ill get on my laptop, get on you tube pull this song up and ill start writting my paper for school.

[CBroderick94]

Anyone know the chords? I've worked out the verse but still need help??

[TheLiquified]

@pkeriwa I can totally understand why he did it, though. He *did* have more knowledge abut the genre and Nick's stuff, quite honestly, was crap, and he realized that. So he put his foot down and took over. I would have done the same thing. He just had some tough luck and it didn't work out the way he'd planned. I think it's cool that he had the balls to do that. Nick's song probably would have been even *worse*, anyway.

[TheLiquified]

I stopped watching the show as soon as he got kicked off. That was the most unfair decision ever! Listen to this! Has that jerk-wad Nick come up with anything as charming and original as this? Don't think so! Don't worry, Johnny; a lot of people know talent and originality when they see it (or hear it, heh). Not everyone is as blind and mainstream-minded as those judges! You have talent! Get out there and prove those dumbasses wrong :D

[pkeriwa]

@TheLiquified he was super talented!he just shot himself in the foot with the way he acted on that challenge.

[UlyssesFarr]

Every 10 or so years, an artist such as Johnny Marnell comes up and completely rocks it! I wish him the best in his music career, and hopes he gets far!

[millmill87]

This song is great! I love the melody, and the lyrics, it's one of my favorite songs!

[MrSoulaqustik]

who won arena chanel is only up 2 episode 6 i think

[23marap]

@MrSoulaqustik Sonyae

[MrSoulaqustik]

@23marap thanx shes a really gud artist glad she won it!!

[MrSoulaqustik]

still love it!! melody is awesome!! one of ma fav songs off tha episodes :)

[FaithandKenzie]

I'll let those tire tracks talk dirt behind my back... that's amazing. I watched every episode of platinum hit but I didn't see who won?! A commercial came on right before the announcement so I changed it! Grrr..

[whw524]

@FaithandKenzie sonyae! i loved her and i really love jess too!

[FaithandKenzie]

@whw524 Oh, thank you so much!

[Slyngelynge]

@raeerenee

Start out the verse with C-Em-Am-F and the rest'll come to you...

[Slyngelynge]

I think the judges wanted Johnny to stay but the producers wanted Nick to stay obviously. Tough luck for Johnny. Keep it up, though! Amazing song.

[alishatorn]

Definitely one of his better songs! He deserved to go home based on that one challenge, though. Both he and Nick acted like jerks.

[fridayniteribs]

Love him. Love him!

[kelsiWofficial]

Im really not happy that he left. Def. one of my favorites..didn't realize how great of a voice he had!!

[raeerenee]

i really want to learn this on the guitar but cant find tabs/chords anywhere, does anyone know what they are?

[swiminthissilense]

i was soo pisssed when johnny got kicked off like wtf!? this was my personal favorite song of the season so far! & nick was a complete asshole! im hoping sonyae wins now!

[CailJhill]

Honestly those judges couldn't have made a bigger mistake! The fact that Nick stood there and yelled swear it on your mothers life should have got him sent home....little prick

[ilikekelseymae1]

i cant believe they got rid of one of the best songwriters there.... the judges made a huge mistake, nick should of been gone LONG AGO ! i hate him.... im gonna miss johnny ;/ i may not watch the show anymore...

[nickang311]

johnny should have won, and the reason he "wasn't receptive to Nick's ideas" was because Nick wasnt writing for Gavin, he was writing for Nick

[TemptationGirl4Ever]

@nickang311 Dude. I feel EXACTLY the same way. Johnny has unbelievable talent. They'll never have another - he was so consistent in quality songwriting.

[ThatNatalieGirl]

dude, why the hell they got rid of johnny and kept nick is beyond me.

this guy is one of the bestt.

[clumsyone92]

absolute most favorite! this and his hero rap.

[pinkstate]

Why these kind of reality shows do the same thing by keeping on the show controversial contestants and let go the real talent? They are keeping Nick just for rating sake, he is all talks but zero talent, none of his hooks win!

[mariahessel]

I was crying so bad yesterday. I watched the show for him.... and Jes also.

[minimu530]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  i only watched the show for him!

[1987mscoco]

i cant beleive they sent johnny away n kept nick their nuts im done watchn tht show

[mariahessel]

love Johnny

[babyinblack]

This is definitely a PLATIMUM HIT. It's so beautiful. :') Johnny should put this on one of his future albums if he makes them. 

[babyinblack]

All the songs the contestants made in the road challenge are really good.

[timmys4life1]

Not my kind of music but i did pay attention to the lyrics and they are deep, clever and real. When you put my top three from the competition together you definitely get a platinum hit like this. Good job fellas.

[14bubbles02]

I love Johnny's, Scotty's, and Brian's voice! They are so beautiful! (:

[Audabel12]

so awesome

[beckey101]

amazing song, the lyrics are beautiful. Johnny is a wonderful musician and writer ♥

[Jennamorrison43]

Gosh. He's so adorable.

[bamfan151]

so awesome. this dude will be a ledgend someday. hes right up there with mraz, jack j, and mayer. superstar status is written all over this kid

[772mt]

Amazing song.

[maadison]

GO JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[JohnnyMarnell]

thanks for all the love. here's to going where we need to be :)

[valarierenee]

@JohnnyMarnell

I have to know. What is the lyric that you are singing?

Is it :

A. My heart beats faster than speed orange signs

B. My heart beats faster than speed born signs

C. you fill in the blank

We've listened to it a hundred times and can't figure it out.

[ErinThompson222]

@valarierenee

I think it's "my heart beats faster than speeds on signs"

[JohnnyMarnell]

@valarierenee yup, @ErinThompson222 is right :) thanks for listening!

[arit111]

@valarierenee And my heart beat faster

Than speeds on signs

[valarierenee]

@DaooxD

That makes more sense It's strange how speeds on signs sound wierd when you sing it as opposed to when you just speak it. I

[BloodyBonita]

Johnny oh so adorable. Love this song and your sense of humor. Good lyrics, looking forward to seeing more.

[sexehnata]

This group worked very well together:) I love this song. It was stuck in my head the next day haha.

[serasenshi]

sounds like a jason mraz song

[bjones13]

I just listened to this song 2wice in a row. It is that good

[gurlygurlcheer]

Top 4- Scotty, Johnny, Sonyae, Nick

[hhigroup1]

You are a star , don't let them smash your dreams

[codyzulinski]

I'm calling the final of Johnny and Jackie.

[Sikaretts]

@codyzulinski

Jackie needs to go!

`

[codyzulinski]

@Sikaretts Whaaaat? Jackie's amazing. Don't knock her.

[Sikaretts]

@codyzulinski

Dude she's whackk!! what kinda corny shit was that ? "But im just a cracker??"

she been in the bottom teams for the last two eliminations she gotta go bruh haha

Powering downnnn

[codyzulinski]

@Sikaretts I haven't seen the rapping episode yet and I don't really want to after reading about what went down. Regardless, she's still majorly talented. I don't know why she was in the bottom two for "The Road is Where My Heart Is". I thought it was really catchy.

[codyzulinski]

@Sikaretts Okay after watching it, I still stand by Jackie. She just wrote a hook and accidentally won. You can't hate on her for that. If that were the case, tons of terrible songs would be representing the writers.

[Sikaretts]

@codyzulinski

Thats true i just can't stand how she can't take responsible for anything. I know she's trying to win but ..EVERYTIME??? haha

[APIanoman4you]

Best song of the season so far, I just hope his "girlfriend" leaves so he can concentrate better.

[ItsANDREZ]

For everyone who loved the live version better...like I did, @soulchip uploaded the original vid! search "Platinum Hit: Where I Need To Be (Johnnie, Scotty, Brian)"

[PRiNCESSxSPAZZ]

i think im in love with this song<3

[savedbyhisgrace316]

i.cant.stop.listening.to.this.­song.oh.my.goodness.ahhhhh  <3333333

[BBLOSSER86]

i love it so much :)

[jayd1879]

I hear a strong similarity in vocals to LIfehouse's Jason Wade. I think Johnny has an incredible tone, a lot of strength and nice texture without having to overpower. I'm quickly becoming a fan of yours Johnny.

[jmpasz58]

Loved it. goosebumps on the original version. This kid just may do it!!!....

[academycute101]

liked the live version better.

[504soccer]

I'm from New Orleans! :) great song guys!!!

[JohnnyMarnell]

thank you all so much for all the love :) the whole experience was really magical for Brian Judah, Scotty Granger and I... and we had a blast doing it... literally laughing like school girls... crazy it came together on a reality tv show :) more of my stuff''s on the interwebs if you're interested

[planetmu]

I agree with livinontop. I like the raw version better. Why do producers always over produce songs so that the life and soul is smothered out of them? I still give it a thumbs up. (So who is the one thumbs down hater? LOL Always seems to be one in the crowd, eh?)

Check out my cover of Hide Your Love Away on MuTube...

[ArrenWalker]

This song is amazing. I must say, the man has real talent. Such great lyrics... but it's not just the lyrics, there's also so much emotion woven into the music itself.

[Kitty25cc]

This was HIT when I heard it something about it...it's the truth that's all LOVE the guitar in it!

[ilovejoejonassxo]

i'm so mad he didn't open up the song with "i'll just let those tire tracks, talk dirt behind my back" watching it on tv literally gave me chills.

[raeerenee]

this song is so goood

[gurlygurlcheer]

i love this song so much. can't get it out of my head. awesome job!!

[kebin65]

Less is more. Live version is so much better, but this is still an amazing song.

[LouBonesMusic]

Absolutely awesome song. So many really, REALLY good lines in it. The line about the tire tracks talking dirt behind your back is one of the best lines in the song, but so many others stand out too. The imagry of the road singing your bravery is incredible. The tempo, the chord progressions, the harmonies, the arrangement, all combine with your amazing lyrics to make the whole song so good that it can (and should) hit #1 on most charts and stay there for a long time. Great job!

[dancerprin12]

im in love with this song and can't get it out of my head, that shows a real artist and writer

[Laninha100]

I love this song! Love it, love it!

[niczfrowy]

damn this is beautiful. it´s only available on US store in iTunes so i can´t download it.. :(

[akiiam]

the next Jack Johnson...

[haveumetmark]

this is my song!!!

[ohyeahhhdenise]

Love this OMG

[livinontop13]

Good song, but it sounds better more raw than it did produced like this.

[kiahrogers]

Great song. Wish he recorded it the way him and his team did it live...

[jmpasz58]

@kiahrogers yeah i loved the first version. this kid is going to do it I think......

[jmpasz58]

@kiahrogers Loved it. goosebumps on the original version. This kid just may do it!!!...

[kiahrogers]

@jmpasz58 I know right!!!  I got chills the first time I saw that. Played it over and over about 10 times...

[Punner1]

Great job Johnny!

[korbyquan]

simply fantastic

[gotjesus13]

this is amazing!!!
