I have. So I wrote this is a gritty angst-ridden singer songwriter song about giving up and not being able to fight the universe any longer. I purposely wanted the music to feel very relaxed, mellow, almost soothing and psychedelic but in a dark kind of way (I threw in overpowering hi-hats). For this one, I needed clean guitar work with a couple of piano melodies but I feel like the lyrics are definitely where the power is. The vocal style has a hint of sadness with a distorted robotic eery voice in the verses and belting for the chorus (which I personally liked better but hey you've got to have some contrast). And that was really needed especially in this song because it's so long to add to the feeling of hopelessness, boredom and monotony. The music video comes out next week. Get ready for my stoic, deflated, heartbroken close-up shots! Lyrics: Verse 1 My momma was a hard working girl Said an image can create a new world Being is part of breathing And believing is always a part of dreaming Verse 2 I’ve wasted so much of my life drowning Used up so many of my days climbing, climbing Spent most of my nights, crying So tired of always trying, trying Chorus 1 Who am I to fight the universe? Who am I to curse the universe? The silly stars stare back at me If God allows this mess to be Then maybe I should just accept my destiny Verse 3 Fresh ink on the newspaper Yet I don’t feel any safer Home still smells the same And I’m still stuck in a house of pain, so much pain Verse 4 Momma said I was meant for something greater So why am I denied my nature, my nature How could she be, so wrong? I don’t feel like I belong, I don’t belong Chorus 2 Who am I to fight the universe? Who am I to curse the universe? The silly stars stare back at me If God allows this mess to be Then maybe I should just accept my destiny Bridge My entire life I believed in, in God & love Played the game the right way Does fate even really exist at all? Was I ever really in, in control? Chorus 3 Who am I to fight the universe? Who am I to curse the universe? The silly stars stare back at me If God allows this mess to be Then maybe I should just accept my destiny End Why do I fight? Why did Icarus challenge the sun? Why was Oedipus blinded by the moon? What's done is done I'm done Done Fighting The Universe
