 Song 83

Here we are again! hehe :) Today I have for all of you is The Rest Of Us by Simple Plan! Another Canadian band that I love, this song specifically really made me happy. I love the upbeat melody, and the message as well. I always try to promote being true to yourself, and loving who you are. And this song is exactly like that, so let's slip into the first verse: "I'm okay, I'm okay. Kinda being awkward socially, with the fact that the girls don't lose their sh** when they look at me. It's okay, it's okay. That I'm not that good at anything, and I don't hit the notes perfectly when I try to sing." This part here, is saying how he's not perfect and he's comfortable being an out cast. The socially awkward part I can absolutely relate to, even when I'm talking to people I know I'm still very awkward. But that's ok. Pre-chorus: "Oh-oh, I know I am not alone." which is true, because everyone feels like this time to time. The chorus: "Here's to the rest of us, to all the ones that never felt they were good enough. I wanna hear it for the dazed and confused, the freaks and the losers. Let's put them up, here's to the rest of us." For all the ones, who felt like they didn't belong. The kids who were often overlooked, for being shy, or a little "weird" this song is for all of you. Second verse: "I'm okay, I'm okay. I don't need to be a billionaire, so freaking bad. And my trust fund hopes are looking sad, I confess I'm a mess. I'm perfectly dysfunctional, but I don't give a damn. If you feel the same let me hear you say." I think this part is self explanatory. The chorus has another verse in this section, so I will add that in. "Here's to the rest of us, we do it better than the rich and the fabulous. I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose, with something to prove." I like this line, because it's saying that you don't have to be rich or popular to be amazing. Next is the bridge: "We don't need to apologize for anything, oh-oh, oh-oh. We're who we are, I just wanna hear you sing, oh-oh, I know I am not alone." It's a short bridge, but I still felt it should be in here. Then on the outro, with the chorus. There's some more lyrics. "The lost, the geeks, the rejects, the losers. The wrong, the freaks, the hopeless, the future." Such a great line, especially for the younger generation who are just finding themselves. Remember everyone, just because you may be a "nerd" or an outcast, it doesn't mean that you can't be successful. Or can't have friends, you are one hundred percent you. And that's a beautiful thing! :) 

Well that's it for this review, I hope you check it out! And I will see you next time. :)
