Somebody (Finalized Demo)

This one is gonna be track 9 or 10 on the upcoming album. Finalized the lyrics and arrangement today, super happy with how it turned out! It's kind of a kooky song ain't it?

My goal this week is to finalize all the demos for the album and have them ready to record in my friend's professional studio very soon. I haven't talked about this publicly yet, but I'm gonna try and raise a bit of money on Kickstarter to fund the production of it. Thinking we'll attempt to raise between 5-10k for the recording, mixing and mastering of the project. I really believe in this album and want it to be the best it can be :) More on that once all the songs are completely finalized! So far I'm at 5 out of 16 songs (and all the harder ones are basically out of the way) so we're making good time. Anyway, hope ya'll like how this one turned out.

Lyrics:

I'd like to be like you

But I'm stuck as me

Nobody

Ten people know who I am

Must increase to a billion

Then maybe I will finally be happy

I'll be somebody

You can't ignore, as I come through your door

Get on your knees and beg the lord that I notice thee

No longer obvious that I am worthless

Facade of influence, carrot dangling right in my face

Fades away, left with nothing

Feels worse than before, please God, give me one more hit

Hit me baby one more time

No goals in sight, good times all behind me

Don't play the song in your head

Play the one they've heard already

I dunno about this melody, baby

Don't say what's in your head, please

Say the one they've heard already

I dunno about this melody, baby

Remember when we something going here, Andy?

Now you cannot stop thinking about making enough to live

You don't wanna be like me

My life is a nightmare

Will never wake from the bed I've made

Be yourself, please

Be somebody
