This song was a spur of the moment creation, but I'm happy with the sound that came out. I had some more trouble with mastering it because of my average quality programs (either that or just my inability to use them). This song is about the underdogs of life, people who are hated just for being who they are, just like how everybody else is. Unlike all my other work, this was done from start to finish in less than a month, and when you consider that I don't have time to work on anything on weekdays, this easily could have been done in just one week's time. Because the quality's a little bad, I might redo this one along with all my others that need remastering in the future. Enjoy. :)
The lyrics are:

What do you think I am?
What have I ever done
To you
Or anybody else?
Who do you think we are?
We are people too
Like you
And Everybody Else.

She wants to be loved and
Not feel so broken
Someone to hold her
But nobody cares
Just cause she's different
But why is she different?
Her heart beats the same as
Everyone else
Why can't you love her?
You think you're better
How are you better?
Well nobody cares
Now she is crying
Now she is dying
Isn't she just like
Everyone else?

What do you think I am?
What have I ever done
To you
Or anybody else?
Who do you think we are?
We are people too
Like you
And Everybody Else.

He's just a boy
Without a home
Another victim
All alone
His mother fears
What she has done
His father never
Had a son
There's only darkness
Deep inside
Where all his life
He had to hide
Now he's headed
Straight to hell
For being just like
Everyone else.

What do you think I am?
What have I ever done
To you
Or anybody else?
Who do you think we are?
We are people too
Like you
And Everybody Else.
What's all this hatred for?
We don't care anymore
That you're
Unhappy with yourself
And when this life is through
We'll still be standing too
Like you

Don't cry
You'll make it someday
I will come
And take you away
For now
You must be strong
Just wait
It won't be long

What do you think I am?
What have I ever done
To you
Or anybody else?
Who do you think we are?
We are people too
Like you
And Everybody Else.
What's all this hatred for?
We don't care anymore
That you're
Unhappy with yourself
And when this life is through
We'll still be standing too
Like you
And everybody else

"I Agree."

I agree with anansz, your music is underrated, there is no reason that you get below a 4.0. I can tell you put a great deal of work into your music and i dont respect people who give your a low score. I am a fan of your music and it is amazing.

Thanks, I get aggravated sometimes about the overwhelming persistence of the zero bombing league, but ultimately as long as there are still people listening to my music and getting enjoyment out of it, I'm accomplishing exactly what I set out to do. And thanks for giving this song a 10 because it really has bad mastering and I plant to eventually change that in the near future, like by adding guitar and redoing the vocals.

Don't cry
You'll make it someday
I will come
And take you away
For now
You must be strong
Just wait
It won't be long

We will go and rescue them all, someday.

I'll be waiting.

I'm glad you liked that segment, I was sort of felling like it was a bit too cliche or cheesy. Thanks for bringing back the original emotional I wrote it with. :)

"Ratings = too low"

date: August 5, 2009

You deserve better recognision, since the general ratings you get are utter crap, especially when you realise that Newgrounds is filled with 4-star-rated junk that sounds even worse compared to all the great songs you sung.

Author's Response:

Thank you for saying that. But I think that everyone who puts music out that reached front page eventually gets low votes in large amounts, and no longer has any high rated songs. When I first started here, I had two songs get front page in consecutive weeks, but after that I got zero bombed everyday like somebody hate my guts. I think some people just look for high voted music and put it on their list of daily zero bombing to keep that artist from ever getting front page again. So with all that in mind, I'm pretty happy that some of my stuff is still above a 4 in spite of the constant zero bombing. :)

"I love this song so much!"

date: July 28, 2009

FIrst off, I'm a big fan of yours and and an aspiring vocalist myself 8D Do you think I could use this song for an opening animation of my characters for a small flash movie? They're wolves and this really fits it. And no, I'm not a furry.

Author's Response:

Yeah go ahead, that'd be great to see! I love it when people ask to use any of my songs in a flash project. :)

"GMTA!"

date: March 23, 2009

Great Minds Think Alike...Boux is right, and like I said in your Hallelujah song. Few people on here have true vocal talent. You are a major exception.
I cant say enough.

Author's Response:

Thanks, I really do wish there were more vocal talents on NG though. If you find more, let me know. I know of a few like LadyArsenic, Hania, MilkManDan. I think because of vocal rarity, it's generally well received on this site, but because bad voters, it never really spreads very far. I'm really glad to know that you're into vocal works. I feel like I have a place here. lol
