I wrote this song when I was in High School. For as long as I can remember being in school, I've been bullied for one thing or another. I've prob heard every insult in the book x10. Life now is pretty good for me though! Read more on Full Info! Rough

Electric, Eccentric and Eclectic! Worldly Electronica, with Exotic flare!
(For best listening experience, please use headphones!) An Avant-Gardist to the maximus and connoisseur of Tribal and Dance Music!! : )) "I have always marched to the beat of my own drum...the style is all my OWN!" Art & Music are my passion :) . I'm not in it for anything other then creative expression. As a Visual Artist, I feel most creative while listening to inspirational music. As far as the tunes go...I just like to have fun. I program everything from the synths to the drums, note for note. I occasionally use loops that I manipulate into something completely different from which they started. I also like to add live instruments now and then. I am a Minimalist...and it's just my personal prefrence as an artist. I got into music production, mainly, to create backing tracks for my vocals...since I love to write and sing my own songs. And I guess too, my love of music got me itching to produce some of my own! :) I've been sharing my music online, since 2001...I really got into it in 2004, as I started to collaborate more with other artists. I just do it for fun and for the sake of creative expression. With that said, I create for myself, first and foremost. If you like my tunes, that's cool too!! I've worked in many genres of music. I have some that are real dancers, others...more primal, passionate and or meaningful. I also have some that are just very silly and fun to sing along with! Take you're pick! I am versatile, like that. I've had my music played on a few internet stations across the globe, have been interviewed on a few OMDs and have been featured on "The ZEST Radio Show, CKRG 89.9 FM" with Host Paul Richmond AKA ZEST. Which is a station broadcasting from Glendon Campus at York University and in Toronto Canada. Thanks ZEST & Crew! Click here to hear a clip from one of ZEST's Radio Shows: And a special thanks to all of those DJs out there, that remix and play out my tunes in their night club sets!! And to the folks promoting and blogging my music, thanks friends!! :) Read some of the Reviews we've got; http://usimon.com/LowFlyinCat.htm My Artistic Drive: *I am not a professional on LDs, but I am dyslexic and these are MY personal experiences & findings.* I am a Right Brained Dyslexic artist. Dyslexia is a life long condition. This world would NOT be what it is, without right brained people! Many of the great entertainers, artists, C.E.O.s, Entrepreneurs and inventors/engineers of our times are or were also, Dyslexic. There are SO many, unfair stereotypes of Dyslexic people...when many Dyslexics are in fact, of above average intelligence. There is so much more to it, then literary issues alone. With early intervention, constant practice, hard work and endless tutoring...I've overcome this part. At 6, I could barely get through a simple sentence. I realized THAT early on, that I was "different". It made me self-conscious. But with time and effort, I caught-up in reading and writing etc. I'll never forget those whom had the patience to help me learn. Now, I fully enjoy reading and writing, as you can see! Almost every Dyslexic has the same tail to tell...now, doesn't that say something? ;) Search; "Famous People with Dyslexia" for yourself and read their stories! You'd be very surprised! And...back to the art! I Write/Perform/Produce/Mix/Master/Program/Sequence all of my music(except on collabs of course). I'm just a needle in a hay stack...in a big sea of artists fighting to get to the top. I've became content as a gritty gut bottom feeder. :D

Story behind the song
I wrote this song when I was in High School. For as long as I can remember being in school, I've been bullied for one thing or another. I've prob heard every insult in the book x10. Life is pretty good for me now, though! As I got older I pushed myself to be stronger and more confident and not to care what others think of me...because I know who I am and you can never judge a book, till you've read it. I've also used this awful experience I had with that, to become a better person. I stand-up for what I believe and treat everyone with the respect I like to be treated with. And that really goes for anything in life...I put myself in others shoes when I feel I need to...and it's the reason I wrote this song. There were so many times that I wished they knew how I felt inside and how it effected me. 'These are in no way my feelings now...have a great life and people treat me well...just when you are young(teen etc)...it's rough on you! Your whole world is based on popularity and fitting in. Though when you get older you realize how silly it is...and just be who you are. But it's a big deal at that age when you are just starting to find yourself.' Still think it's a good song, so here is my latest recording of it :). Done this morning, in Acappela.
Lyrics
what i've came to realize all i could see was white and how i've became so panicked and wish i could run out of site cause there was no way in and no way out and all that i could think about is why are we so blind? and try to fade out what they don't like or what we have fear of oh why not all just be ourselves? if we can't; what the hell are we here for? we try and dress to impress the in-crowd but never would we do it for ourselves only do as expected now don't even ask me why i had to beg myself just to be like everyone else oh in a world i fake and felt like a disgrace i'll give you my old sneakers just to give you a taste of what it's like to be put in your place or spit in your face fueled with so much pain it could take you to space oh ohoh oh why are we so blind? and try to fade out what they don't like or what we have fear of oh why not all just be ourselves? if we can't; what the hell are we here for? we try and dress to impress the in-crowd but never would we do it for ourselves only do as expected oh oh oh oh la de da da da da da da da yayayayaaa hum um la da da da da la da da da da da da dum da dada oh why are we so blind? and try to fade out what they don't like or what we have fear of oh why not all just be ourselves? if we can't; what the hell are we here for? we try and dress to impress the in-crowd but never would we do it for ourselves only do as expected 99-08 GinNger SparklezZz

Hmmm...what is Ginnger up to with this? This is my guess: The lyrics are good and what it's all about. To even try to understand them, you must read them as they are inaudible. Mission accomplished. The massive reverb? To me it's very reminiscent of a high school lavatory...tile, high ceilings...cold. A sad girl with streaks of mascara from falling tears sings alone, pondering the cruelty and insensitivity of her peers. Am i close?

great job Gin..! Interesting echo on your vox too. You gonna put one of your cool backings to this one? I imagine another video targeted for teens on this one... so hard for teens nowadays Pookies already worried about what she's gonna wear for the day and she's only 2 1/2. She wakes up everymorning and wants to pick out her princess!!! Which means dress! She won't let me pick it out:0 I'm really in for it I think!!!!!!!!
