Today We Are One (Contest Remix)
Garage rock revival/indie rock, Punk Rock, with a Blues groove. Two bright electric guitars provide an intertwined interplay with compression and light overdrive: one playing sharp, rhythmic downstroke chords and the other adding catchy lead riffs and octave accents. Soaring Choruses. Tight, punchy drums and snare, and energetic eighth-note hi-hat, crisp guitars panned left and right, simple but memorable hooks, youthful rebellious energy, and a confident, carefree attitude. Female vocals are natural and without distortion. Verses feel controlled and cool with a slightly detached laid back yet confident and melodic vocal delivery. Choruses burst open with an uplifting, anthemic melody which explodes into a memorable hook with a sense of urgency, along with heavier guitars. Driving, melodic bassline. Tight rhythm guitars, simple lead fills. Production is raw and relatively dry

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I think internally
I wonder who’s the real me
Crumbled pieces on the floor
What am I here to live for?
While clinging to self-pity
I can’t share a dignity
With people who aren’t the same
They’re forced into a tight frame
[Verse 2]
We have worries, we have strife
Do we touch another’s life?
Sometimes we feel darkness inside
And look away from others’ eyes
[Chorus 1]
Start with yourself
Your private hell
Go shed it all
And heed the call
People need you
So help them through
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Are you able to accept
The troubled times when you wept?
Make a shift, oh make a shift
Offer up your brightest gift
[Chorus 2]
Start with yourself
Your private hell
Go shed it all
And heed the call
People need you
So help them through…
So help them through!
[Instrumental break]
[Final Verse]
Let go of your self-blaming
To break apart the framing
Of people different than you
See them through, oh see them through
Something that we always knew
The smallest form of giving
Makes our time here worth living
[Instrumental outro]
