You and I

Soundtrap song- this one was one I wrote recently based on a conversation I had with a new friend of mine about how we felt outcasted and different from other people growing up, combined with the "animalistic" and "escaping reality" themes I often like to incorporate in my stuff. Oh yeah, I purposely changed my singing voice more for this one, because I was trying to go for a vintage-sounding singing voice (and I failed lmao but I still kept the vocals anyway). Just felt like noting that if I could change one thing about this song, it would be making the guitar chords sound more natural, like how it should be played- unfortunately I don't know anything about how to play guitar, so I don't know what would be realistically possible to play, I came up with my own chords. If I ever remake this song at a higher level of musical expertise, that'll be the one thing I make sure to get correct! *LYRICS* You and I We’re of a different kind They don’t like our minds They wish to lock us out of sight Me and you We play by different rules They like to think we’re fools And we are left unsure what to do Maybe we can run away from here Leave this world behind and make our own Maybe we can make it out of here Cuz this place just don’t feel like home You and I We’re of a different kind They don’t like our minds They wish to lock us out of sight Me and you We play by different rules They like to think we’re fools And we are left unsure what to do Maybe we could get away from here Spread some wings, soar off where no one knows Maybe we could swim, descend, and shoot off down a river bend Or claw the ground and howl our fears away *guitar break* You and I We’re of a different kind They don’t like our minds They wish to lock us out of sight Me and you We play by different rules They like to think we’re fools But we’ll escape if it’s the last thing we do Cover Credit: https://pixabay.com/photos/silhouette-two-dogs-sunset-two-dogs-2268383/
