about

This is technically the first song I wrote back in 1986, but I never completed it, which is why Love Is In The Air is actually the first song I wrote. I just had the lyrics for this one and the melody in my head back then, but never did any more than that. This is the first time I ever tried recording it. Overall, it is the same song I had the idea for back in the 80s, it's just more guitar orientated than it would have been back then.

lyrics

The world today it makes no sense to me
Everybody's coming down on me
Because I'm different, but can't they see
That I'm not, I'm Just being me

Because I'm not like anyone else
They say I'm weird cause I'm being myself
No, I'm not jock and I'm not new wave
I'm just myself can't you see what I'm saying

Why can't people
Accept others for what they are
Why must people
Insult others for what they are
