Sarantos Continues His Edgy Experimentation And Releases A New Song as a tribute to David Bowie - "Tired Of Being Scared."

http://www.melogia.com [Sarantos __title__ Sarantos solo music artist new singer songwriter free pop rock song music release Tired Of Being Scared The Trevor Project] Continues His Edgy Experimentation And Releases A New Song as a tribute to David Bowie - "Tired Of Being Scared."

Has anyone ever been scared? Has anyone ever been sick of being scared? Has anyone out there ever gotten tired of being scared? Sarantos has. Sarantos has never been scared of revealing the truth and allows fans a sincere glimpse into his real world as the journey continues. This song is a powerful, angst-ridden tribute to David Bowie combining modern elements of Coldplay to leave fans appreciating the uniqueness of this eclectic mixture. The rollercoster ride throughout the song deliberately leaves fans in a reflective mood. The tone of exasperated vocals and carefully placed vocal fry playing off the female harmonies leads right into the hidden meaning and charity for this song.

Sarantos feels that there should never be a reason for conflicted or confused young people struggling with feelings of sexuality to commit suicide! The Trevor Project is a leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24.

33% of any music-related sales profits from this song are going straight to The Trevor Project.

"This is a very special pop song to me," says Sarantos. "Since I love 80s music and am heavily influenced by it as I try to merge it with modern pop rock, I thought one day about David Bowie. I was inspired by David Bowie for many reasons. His music, creativity, video presence, style, and secondary messages to his art were truly an inspiration. I had been working on this song when he passed away earlier this year. In my heart, I tried to visualize what David would've wanted me to do with a song like this and so I made this a tribute song to him! Furthermore, I thought addressing yound suicide in the gay and lesbian community would be perfect for this song. The message really resonates with me. They have overcome many challenges and continue to fight for equality as they should. I hope they hear my call to arms and appreciate this song as much as I do. They should never be scared to be themselves! None of us should. Be who you are and be true to yourself. All the rest will take care of itself. I was scared to be myself for most of my life and I can't believe I wasted all that time. No more. Let's take on the world together!"

Lyrics:

Tired Of Being Scared

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)

(I’m tired)
(I’m tired of being scared)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Verse 1

One foot out the door
The other cemented, inside
There’s a whole world out there
That I’ve never, tried
And every time I think
I’m ready to begin
I freeze with fear so I turn around
And head inside, again

PreChorus 1

I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears

Chorus 1

I’m so damn tired
Tired of being scared
I showed my soul, to the world
But they never cared
Well that’s about to change
My bad luck’s done
Get ready world
Cuz’ here I come

Instrumental

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I am a fighter)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I’m a survivor)

Verse 2

As I got grey and wiser
I’m less sure and more afraid
Raw memories floating next to me
Awkward palpitations, and agony
How many more moments
How much more squandered time
I let the daylight shine without me
I was drowning, all my life

PreChorus 2

I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears

Chorus 2

I’m so damn tired
Tired of being scared
I showed my soul to the world
But they never cared
Well that’s about to change
My bad luck’s done
Get ready world
Cuz’ here I come

Instrumental 2

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I am a fighter)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I’m a survivor)

Bridge

I wish someone had helped me
Showed me there was no need to be afraid

PreChorus 3

I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears

Chorus 3

I recollect
The long weary road I’ve travelled
All that doubt and all that pain
Day after day, always betrayed!

But Now I'm tired

Tired

Fade out

I’m so tired of being scared (I’m a fighter)
