Tell a friend:














He was singing a song HE wrote on his own and was talking about HIMSELF. [not in a selfish sense.] He didn't write the song TO THE KIDS! so he's not telling them to "be careful what they wish for." Lyrics are Lyrics. They say one thing to mean something else! DIG DEEPER AND STOP LOOKING AT THE GENERAL PICTURE!
BOTTOMLINE, Chris is doing charity work!!! Relax.
As a matter of fact, I AM a songwriter, and I've been performing with my band much longer than Chris has with his. So trust me when I say that it IS possible to slightly alter your lyrics in order to fit a moment or a cause - which is what Daughtry probably should have done.
By the way, my name's not Greg. Maybe you should finish reading the rest of my screen name, because gregarious is an adjective. Obviously you're not intelligent enough to handle big words.
This is a useless thread, bottomline is he went there to do some good, and gets ripped for it. lol. THAT is what I find to be a joke.
Unlike you, I don't underestimate the power of music and lyrics. Daughtry could/should have changed those handful of words to give the bridge a much more positive, uplifting message.
The world is yours to wish for
And you just might get it all
And that's something we all want
There ya go. Took me all of 5 seconds and doesn't change the "sound" of the song at all.
Could you please rephrase that so he's singing it to sick children and not his girlfriend/wife??? lol
But, even still, the lines that you mentioned are neutral - with the exception of the "and I don't know why" line.
Change that to "I hope you know why", and you have what amounts to 3 line changes that will leave a much happier message ringing in the heads of those sick kids who will promptly go back to their 4th floor prison.
I'm not saying every word of every song has to be changed, but as a performer you have to be mindful of your audience. Study child psychology and you'll understand just how important positivity is to a sick kid. Quite honestly, most wouldn't have even noticed the change, but the ones that did notice will feel that much more special.
I'm 100% against censorship for the general public, but for specific groups you have to be a little more sensitive and in tune to their situations. Call it politicking if you want, but it's plain common sense to me. Stop being so hard-headed.
My whole point is that some minor alterations in lyrics could have potentially helped some sick child get over a hill - and is that not worth it?
