dang, this song hit me hard. i haven't cried at a song in a long time. I discovered Jeremy a few months ago, and he's just so talented. he's funny, he's sweet, and his voice is Amazing. he seems like a wonderful person, and he has inspired me so much. i hope one day a can thank him in person.
So, so glad I found this guy’s music! His passion, his voice- he is The most amazing voice I have heard in a long time! I guess I should say thank you to RU-vid.
Wow. I had such a full circle experience listening to this song. I deeply admire Jeremy Jordan’s voice and I often feel like my own voice is only ok at best compared to his, but I’ve been playing guitar and writing my own songs for 16 years so when I saw he wrote a song, I couldn’t wait to hear what he made. When he started out with what I thought was a hilariously simple and almost stereotypical chord progression and lyrics I viewed as cliche, I was judging his songwriting far too harshly. And it turns out I was judging his creation the exact same way I judge myself every single day. And I didn’t even fully realize this until he got to the end of his song, flipped the script, and I started crying because he moved me so fully that I could clearly see how infrequently I send myself the messaging he is singing in the final chorus. In one song, I went from judging his songwriting (because of how consistently I judge myself) to appreciating both. This is an absolutely beautiful song and I am so glad he wrote it and was brave enough to share it with us.
Im not good enough to sing my own words So ill sing something you already know Im not strong enough to reach inside my heart and Break off a part of me to show Am i good enough? No Im not(4x) Feels like im required To be constantly inspired By some soulful sweet desire Oh,to show the world my fire And inside im just a quiet boy, singing what i am Giving and nothing else, nothing else And i know im just another soul living And nothing else,nothing to say Im not good enough to sing my own words So ill sing something you already know Im not strong enough to reach inside my heart and Break off a part of me to show Am i good enough? No Im not(4x) Im a doer not a trier Im a user not supplier Im the chooser im the buyer And the who what where and whyer But inside im just a quiet boy singing what i am Giving and nothing else, nothing else And i know im just another soul living Nothing, Nothing, Nothing Oh Ill just pretend to be What you think im meant to be And then ill slip away How can i become what im meant to be? Im only just a wannabe Im only one only singer on this stage I am good enough to sing my own words I can bring this over to something new I am strong enough to reach inside my heart and Pull this stand in front of you I am good enough Oh I am good enough Oh I am good enough oh I am good enough Oh I am (4x)
You kind of just lifted my soul, man. Its one in the effing morning. You'll probably never read this ,but this has helped. I always walk around defeated. Feeling defeated, feeling like I'm not going to make it anywhere and I'll just be a big what-if. Its hard to think positive and try to tell myself I'm good enough, or that I'm strong or brave. I am like one Blaine Anderson. Its really hard for me to speak my feelings ,so I sing. I'm going to learn this song and sing it and I might start believing it.
Hey I know this was commented a while back but I just want you to know that you are enough and even though I don’t know you your a strong beautiful person on the inside and out and I just want you to know that you have a purpose in your life and that you have inspired people without evening knowing it so keep going because your doing good your awesome to keep getting up everyday and to get through each day also sending you hugs and love 💕
Oh my goodness, that brought tears to my eyes. I was a huge fan of Smash and listen to the soundtrack about every other day. I was curious about what you have been doing because you are one of my favorite singers ever and I found this song. What a gift. Thank you for being brave enough to sing your own words. Brilliant!
There are real tears streaming down my face right now omg. This song is so beautiful and meaningful and it sounds so good! Kudos to him! Is there a professional recording of it anywhere?
