Have you ever felt like you're fighting against the world and everyone in, even the entire freaking universe sometimes? 

I have. So I wrote this is a gritty angst-ridden singer songwriter song about giving up and not being able to fight the universe any longer. I purposely wanted the music to feel very relaxed, mellow, almost soothing and psychedelic but in a dark kind of way (I threw in overpowering hi-hats). For this one, I needed clean guitar work with a couple of piano melodies but I feel like the lyrics are definitely where the power is. The vocal style has a hint of sadness with a distorted robotic eery voice in the verses and belting for the chorus (which I personally liked better but hey you've got to have some contrast). And that was really needed especially in this song because it's so long to add to the feeling of hopelessness, boredom and monotony. 

The music video features life interspersed with my stoic, deflated, heartbroken close-up shots! Life isn’t perfect. No matter how optimistic you are, there will come a time when the weight of the world is just too much for your shoulders. That’s when you can listen to this song to know you’re not alone in your moment of misery. There’s nothing more cathartic than a song that shares your emotion. We’ve all been there. Listen to it. Hear it. But then you should move on to my song “Above the Clouds.” And smile because life goes on.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

My momma was a hard working girl
Said an image can create a new world
Being is part of breathing
And believing is always a part of dreaming

Verse 2

I’ve wasted so much of my life drowning  
Used up so many of my days climbing, climbing
Spent most of my nights, crying
So tired of always trying, trying

Chorus 1

Who am I to fight the universe?
Who am I to curse the universe?
The silly stars stare back at me
If God allows this mess to be
Then maybe I should just accept my destiny

Verse 3

Fresh ink on the newspaper
Yet I don’t feel any safer
Home still smells the same
And I’m still stuck in a house of pain, so much pain

Verse 4

Momma said I was meant for something greater
So why am I denied my nature, my nature
How could she be, so wrong?
I don’t feel like I belong, I don’t belong

Chorus 2

Who am I to fight the universe?
Who am I to curse the universe?
The silly stars stare back at me
If God allows this mess to be
Then maybe I should just accept my destiny

Bridge

My entire life I believed in, in God & love
Played the game the right way
Does fate even really exist at all?
Was I ever really in, in control?

Chorus 3

Who am I to fight the universe?
Who am I to curse the universe?
The silly stars stare back at me
If God allows this mess to be
Then maybe I should just accept my destiny

End

Why do I fight?
Why did Icarus challenge the sun?
Why was Oedipus blinded by the moon?
What's done is done

I'm done
Done
Fighting
The Universe
