Jane

Jane is a demo made shortly after the completion of songs for What a Shame in April 2005 written and sung by Looney Lion. Though the demo circulates online, it has never been officially released, not even on any of Lion's solo albums, despite being one of the Kitty Concert fanbase's favorite demos. The period of time which produced consistently top-notch songs is called the Afterglow Period.

Overview
"Jane" was written in April 2005, shortly after the death of the Kitty Concert's lifelong friend, Mark Tilbert, to AIDS. Many heart-wrenching songs were immediately produced after this, some released and some only circulating demos, such as "Unprotected Sex", "Wishing Well", and "Mark". After a dozen or so songs filled with heartbreak, however, the band went in a new direction, the direction they thought Mark would have wanted: happy and poppy love songs. Almost all of the songs on Granted are poppier love songs, so perhaps the reason this song was not used was because it is more lovelorn.

Lion has written quite a few love songs ("Banana Smoothie", "She's Put It Behind Her", "The Ballad of Koda and Rosie", "On the Griddle", "Ampersand", "Apostrophe"), but they're all meant to be taken in a goofy, lighthearted manner, but "Jane" is alike with only one other song of Lion's, "Happy, Darling", in that it is sincere and downcast in tone. The song tells the story of a girl Lion cannot have, possibly the same girl featured in "Happy, Darling". Ai-Ai Paulden plays the celeste, which he learnt to play for "Blanketed by You", Elec plays the glockenspiel, and Xifan Plates plays the flugelhorn. Lion wrote the guitar, bass, and drum parts for the song. "Jane" is in the key of E major, with a chord progression of B minor to G to D to A to E minor to D to G.
