I heard the PERFECT song over a gas station PA system. Naturally, it’s piped in by satellite, so I’d never be able to track down the artist/title via humans. So, I’ve turned to the brain trust of the SDope for help!!!
Surely, someone must know a modern-sounding, upbeat AC* song with an lyircs that go something like this: “I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be…I’m tired of looking around wondering what I’m supposed to be…”
Wow, how true! The lyrics talk about a person fed up with the world defining what they are (whether the artist means by peer pressure or the job world, etc, it’s all so very true) vs. what the person him/herself wants to be!
Any clue? *AC, I wager, as opposed to hip-hop, classic rock, or oldies.
Thanks a zillion! Well, at least a google, in any case! I thought the lyrics were too general, and I anticipated a sea of fruitless results to mine. Again, thanks!
Wow, next to “running through the halls of my high school” (no such thing as the Real World), we need more songs like this that really tell it as it is! Likewise, some may know REO Speedwagon’s “Rock N Roll Star” lyrics along a similar vein.
Cool! …Give em hell, Harry! America needs you, Harry Truman! (aal Chicago lyrics)
I like that song! It’s called “I Don’t Want to Be,” and the artist is Gavin DeGraw. I have it on a CD I burned of songs to listen to when I need some inspiration.
