Story Behind The Song
I wrote the lyrics to music I had lying around on a day when I was feeling overburdened with negativity about my own self-image.

Lyrics
Love Myself
When you?re dancing to a drummer of your own design
you keep the beat inside your head
when you?re dancing to a drummer of your own design
you keep the beat inside your head
I think that I would like to go outside today
and be someone that I have never been
someone I?ve never seen
so I can say how nice it is to be me
I love myself like nobody else...
When you?re far away from everything
you?re never really far away from you
When you?re far away from everything
you?re never really far away from you
I think that I would like to go outside today
and see something that I have never seen
someplace I?ve never been
so I can say how nice it is to be around me
(repeat chorus)
DON?T TELL ME THINGS ABOUT MYSELF
I DON?T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS
When you?re dancing to a drummer of your own design
you get to see what?s in your head...
