Chords are a little jazzy. Lower ranged vocals, but strong.

Just me and my guitar for now.
An introduction is not exactly necessary. There is nothing special about me and my band is a little incomplete as it is just me. However, I would appreciate it if everyone would give my music a chance and listen to each song at least once!

Story behind the song
The motivation behind the song is just taking a look around at the media, at people in general and their perspective on how people should look or dress, what they should drive and how they should live. Basically I have found that people place their faith in superficial things and neglect the important things in life.
Lyrics
I jumped into the, crevices of your mind And sat there for a while just to unwind Guess what was on the wall, for me to see Nothing more than your picture of me You thought I was beneath you cause I had no money I thought you were my friend so that's not funny Oh and you think its stupid that I quit school Well I'm following my dreams not by societies rule Look at you and your shallow mind you don't know it But you're being left behind There's so much beauty all around Yeah there's so much more to be found I wonder what other thoughts will echo off this wall Oh you think I'm a midgette cause I'm not very tall Oh and you think I am fat cause I'm not as skinny as you WEll I'm sorry that I like to eat and don't wear a size two Look at what she's driving I heard inside your head I wouldn't step in that thing, even if I were dead She must have got her clothes from the thrift store down the street Let's act real nice but think bad thoughts about everyone that we meet Look at you and your shallow mind you don't know it But you're being left behind There's so much beauty all around Yeah there's so much more to be found Like the birth of a child and the stars in the sky and the sun that rises everyday Like the beauty of the earth and the air that we breath cause the sun sets everyday
