Lyrics:
Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
Being young was getting so old
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
And I seemed to be given no role
'
But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother
And I know that she's gonna understand
So at age 18 I cried to my mother
And she told me: young man,
'
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
Life is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody's got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometime, yeah
Just be as you are
'
They play me on the radio
And everything is changing, so
I thought I was all the way grown
But I can still remember in that cold November
When I realized I'm all alone
'
But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother
And I know that she's gonna understand
So at age 22 I cried to my mother
And she told me: young man,
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you become some star
Life is better when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard
No, just be as you are
Just be as you are
'
Be as you are
'
If I'm speaking truthfully
I'm not who I used to be
And I know some people might laugh
'Cause my music doesn't sound the same
And my head's no longer shaved
I worry if I'm on the right path
'
But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother
And I know that she's gonna understand
So at age 26 I spoke to my mother
And she told me: young man,
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you become some star
Life is better when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard
No, just be as you are
Just be as you are
'
Be as you are
Original Music Video: https://youtu.be/v1tSfQbtKMU
Contains nudity, which is why I didn't post that version. Said nudity causing a stupid amount of controversy in the comments on YouTube.

I've been debating posting this song for awhile because I know it definitely won't be up a lot of peoples' alleys, and Mike Posner is most well known for taking a pill in Ibiza. But eh. It's a slightly more upbeat song than the other ones I've posted and someone might need to hear it today. So it seemed worth sharing. Plus people keep referring to me as a mom lately so ;)

Also, to whoever I said I wasn't going to be posting music regularly? Apparently that wasn't entirely correct.
