Singled Out: Seabird's Don't You Know You're Beautiful
. The song is actually quite old, maybe 4-5 years. It never made it on the first record because I wasn't satisfied with the lyrics. The idea of the intro was to incorporate something that sounded like laughing, but the lyric that made that part make any sense at all was later removed. I wound up using a similar lyric at the beginning of the 2nd verse to be able to use the "ah ah ah ah ah ah" in it's original context, "ah ah ah ah ah I see you laughing, but I know inside that you're crying.'" It can be really hard to totally scrap a lyric and start from scratch especially if you're emotionally attached to the story. In this case I knew the hook was good enough to keep but the story needed to be stronger, something that people could actually relate to. For some reason, I wanted to tell the story of a family torn apart by divorce. And more specifically the affect it has on the children. Many kids aren't able to come to terms with their parents decision to separate or even blame themselves for the divorce. These kids need hope, and need someone to believe in them. Someone to remind them they genuinely are beautiful and worth fighting for. I never want our listeners to be left empty handed after listening to one of our songs. Hearing is believing.
