    Default Something Different

    Just a simple love song. The verses are funky with the words more rapped than sung. The choruses are very melodic with Beach Boys-like harmonies. There used to be a 'hip hoppish' bridge in the song but I skipped it. I'm considering putting in a new bridge.

    -verse
    Don’t wanna talk about the bad times I’ve been thru
    Don’t wanna talk about the good things I should do
    I won’t pretend I’m innocent
    But my mind is set on something different

    Don’t wanna talk about the things of the past
    Ain’t gonna talk about anything - that wouldn’t last
    Silly romances, they came and they went
    But now I’m up for something different

    -chorus
    I fell in love with this girl
    I’ve got a crush on this girl
    This girl

    -verse
    She blows my mind when she looks me in the eye
    Her eyes are twinkling like stars in the sky
    She even makes this - stupid boy look intelligent
    My, oh my, she’s something different

    -chorus
    I fell in love with this girl
    I’ve got a crush on this girl
    This girl
    THIS GIRL
    This girl

    Women dominate us. Almost all of our songs are about them. They bring joy and pain.

    Peter, I really like "Something Different." Of course I can only "hear" it from my own perspective, but I get the funk!! Defo. Love your rhymes with 'different' which are indeed different, unexpected. So my favorite lines are the ones inclusive of 'something different':

    I won’t pretend I’m innocent...
    Silly romances, they came and they went...
    She even makes this - stupid boy look intelligent...
    My, oh my, she’s something different

    Wow. Even the 'recap' of those lines is great!
