Story Behind The Song
This song is about being independent and inner directed. Not having enough as compared to others and not fitting in to the norm in your belifs and lifesyle and being ok with it. Forgiving and learning about yourself without needing the approval from others.
Song Description
A small group acoustic song in with a style reference to Nick Drake in a modern 6/8 feel, with subtle hints of world beats such as an African feel.
The sound has an old country barn texture due to the acoustic Bass and hints of banjo.

Lyrics
Verse
Forget the club leave your
pretensions at the door
ignore the snob ?cause he?ll
soon see the darkness of it all
chorus
?cause who dares wins and
who cares if your confession
doesn?t make it to the hall
put it on the shelf and forgive yourself
Verse
Welcome surprise no need for
preparation here open your mind
?cause I see the light is getting
nearer
chorus
?cause who dares wins
and who cares if your money?s
not accepted at the mall
put it on the shelf and forgive yourself.
