Being true to yourself demo

Bash This Recording
#1

Back and forth with a two day track about keeping one’s identity and not trying to be someone else. Not a great attempt, but somebody has to keep this place movin.
Lyrics help appreciated.

You be you and I will be me

F C Bb C
You are a very good you…but I must always be me
F C Bb C
When you try to be me… and I try to be you
Bb C F
Nobody wins… we lose… being unique

Bb F C F
You be you… and I will be me …we can not pretend …we must disagree
Bb F
You be you… and I will be me
C F
we must be ourselves …if we’re to move on and be free

F C Bb C
Some feel a need… to fight….to prove who’s wrong or right
F C Bb C
Sim…pa…ly try to hold back that …adrenalin first reaction
Bb C F
you might get be repaid …by an af…ter…noon delight Bb C F

Hi Paul, very sweet sounding melody as usual - great harmonies too.

One thing I noticed was that you started off with a nice swing in your strum, but when the drums came in, they were straight time, and it kind of took me out of the moment.

Maybe finding a swing style groove or using your DAW’s midi note “swing” parameter would help maintain the groove.

Hi Andy Man you have been missed here. I think most get burnt on songwriting and simply give up. I think there are only three or four of us still making songs…sad
I will make changes to the chorus background as you requested. i forgot about this song. haha Very sick with a sinus infection and covid. Getting some big gun drugs this morning hoping I can kick it. Supposed to join all the fam for christmas?? thanks
