about

I wrote this song on one trip back to Australia a long time ago, but I just never produced it. It was in one of my weak moments where I felt very sorry for myself. I had put on such a brave face navigating the music business in LA, touring across the country and I was just exhausted. This is my ‘searching for the meaning’ song. When I was trying to think of the song title, I couldn’t ignore that i was really talking about my ego. And so, the title, I, came to be. The end of the song is definitely about promise. ‘I’m not ready to rest’ shares my unbridled desire to continue to pursue my quest. And I’ve never stopped. I liked my wounds, got back on the plane, and headed back to Hollywood.

lyrics

I

V1
Little one I know it’s tough outside the world fights on
Gotta keep a brave face ‘cause nothing in the world will chase the dream you fight for
I am looking in from the outside wanting to be inside
Gotta keep a strong face ‘cause nothing in this world will hand it on a silver platter.
So ask yourself

(pre-chorus)
What is it all for?
Tell me what am I fighting for?
Gotta keep a brave face ‘cause nothing in this world will chase the dreams I’m living

CHORUS
I stand and I fall, I touch and I crawl
To get through the holy door
I sweep the ocean floor

V2
Trouble brews and mud sticks and I’m tired of being strong
Gotta show my real face ‘cause no one in this world will really care who you are.
So ask yourself

(pre-chorus)
What is it all for?
Just who are you kidding
Gotta keep a real face ‘cause no one in this world will really know your reasons

CHORUS


(Bridge)
I have so many questions
I’m not ready to rest

CHORUS

LAST CHORUS
I stand and I fall, I touch and I crawl
To get through the holy door
I’ll go beyond the call
I’ll reach out standing tall …
… I sweep … the ocean floor
