Wow, thankgod someone put Josiah up on here!
I was going to awhile ago, when I came across All My Friends, One Last Song, Bad News Baby, and Her on YouTube, but I didn't know if I should, and just never did. But thanks for someone finally putting him into this world.
Major fan...
This song is so inspiring to me. It seems like maybe his American Idol experiences triggered this song. He finally realized that he just needs to get out there and go for it, and it doesn't matter who tells him he can't.
I nearly cried the first time I heard this song, especially in these parts:
"...I'm more than just a waste of given space"
&
"Girl I swear to you I'll never let them tear my soul out"
&
"That all my friends believe in me
And everything I'm gonna be
So we just smile, and we start to sing
To anyone and everything"
Uh yeah pretty much the whole song.
Still make me cry sometimes... seems I have more in common with Josiah than you'd think... LOL totally kidding. (I think it's ridiculous how much crap he got for the crying, anyway... I mean, he's human! Some of us have a harder time holding tears in than others. [Me being one.])
Anyways... I'd always connected the song to getting out there, making a difference in the world, proving that even though he's just a kid living in his car he can matter. I really think the whole song is centered around becoming a singer and getting his music to the world. Getting out of his town where he's small and doesn't make a difference in the world, going to a place where he can change people's lives through music.
I can connect with the emotions in this song, and even (in the back of my mind) wonder if this'll someday be me.
calendar girl -- In response to your last post, I'll say I know how you feel (somewhat). I've often times had nothing more to get me through something than the music stored up in my head. Even though it seems it's the most powerful thing there is. I don't think I would make it through a school week without some song to sing in my head, and my zune to listen to on the bus in the morning. If I didn't know that I could come home every night and get a song in my head that would help me through the next day, I don't know if I'd have the strength to get on that bus every day.
Thank you, Josiah, and all musicians/singers everywhere.
