This song is a thought-provoking reflection on the disparity between the glamorous lives of the wealthy and famous, and the everyday struggles of the working class. The lyrics convey a sense of authenticity and humility, as we acknowledge the harsh realities of our own lives, while also recognizing the superficiality of the wealthy elite. The song's themes of perseverance, self-awareness, and the pursuit of one's own path resonate deeply, inviting listeners to reevaluate their own values and priorities.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1:]
I wake up every morning, before the sun is high
I'm cleaning up after them, while they're flying by
Private jets and mansions, it's a life I'll never know
But I'm the one who's keeping it real, while they're living in a show 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright 

[Verse 2:]
I see them on the red carpet, with their perfect smiles and hair
But I'm the one who's keeping it real, without a single care
I'm driving my old van, while they're riding in their limousines
But at the end of the day, I'm the one who's feeling more serene 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright 

[Bridge:]
Maybe someday I'll make it big, and I'll be the one on stage
But until then, I'll keep on working, and turning the page
I'll keep on being me, and doing what I do best
And maybe someday, I'll find my own success 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW If you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or two, I will unfollow you most of the time. The same goes if I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow them, however, if they don't follow back within a week or two, I'll unfollow them.  😘
