Quick and dirty to get a song done on day 2 as well! Thanks to the wonderful Tara for a great collab! More to come!
04.02: added first attempt at m8.
[Verse 1]
I've tried to be some sort of tough guy
But I can't watch Hugh Grant without cryin'
I've tried to fit in with the 'in' crowd
But I got so fed up with the lyin'
I've tried to speak like a professor
But it was only my clothes that were smart
Now I can see, I've got to be me
'Cause nobody else wants the part
[Chorus]
I'm just me, just myself
Cannot be anyone else
Believe me I've tried, it didn't feel right
That's okay now I don't mind
I don't mind
[Verse 2]
Why dress yourself up like a model
When you’re happy in faded blue jeans?
Why try hard to please everybody
When you’re falling apart at the seams?
I'll always be right here beside you
Loving you 'til the end of my days
If you hear people say that they want you to change
I hope you know just what to say:
[Chorus]
I'm just me, just myself
Cannot be anyone else
Believe me I've tried, it didn't feel right
That's okay now I don't mind
I don't mind
I´ve tried to be super interesting
But I'm not really that exciting
[M8]
We don’t need to change
Let’s forget everyone else
You’re my shining light
You make my days so bright
[Chorus]
I'm just me, just myself
Cannot be anyone else
Believe me I've tried, it didn't feel right
That's okay now I don't mind
I'm just me, just myself
Cannot be anyone else
Believe me I've tried, it didn't feel right
That's okay now I don't mind
I don't mind

I missed this . Sounds like a great time was had by all. Love your song and mandolin.
@theicylakes Feb 2022
What a wonderful feedback @timfatchen! Glad you enjoyed it

This is what I love about FAWM. Quick'n'dirty? Live and sparkling. I like the lyric because I'm past the age of even thinking whether I should worry, and my wife still pines for an unexciting life. But the backing absolutely sparkles and the vocals are hugely uplifting!
@tasia Feb 2022
I love this. I'll be singing it to myself. May I have a copy of your sheet music that you wrote, please.
@pianoonthepatio Feb 2022
I love, love the harmonies coming in for the chorus!

Thanks guys! @celineellis @christmascard

The simple start then the chorus with multiple harmonies which gave me
The impression of a group singing is awesome. Reminds of a folk club where everyone joins in on the chorus.
@christmascard Feb 2022
Very cool, love when the chorus comes in with multiple harmonies. great work
