about

Any of you out there, People Pleasers? I see you! I kinda grew up in a family of people pleasers (love you fam, I really do) so it’s taken me a while to shake it from my life. Usually stemming from great insecurity and the need to be valued and liked, it can get you in all sorts of trouble. I also happen to have a lot of friends who identify as People Pleasers too and so I wrote this for all of us. It was written in about an hour when I was a member of the I heart Songwriting Club run by the incredible Francesca De Valance. If there are any songwriters out there wanting to find more flow in your writing, I’d highly recommend this program.

lyrics

She would do anything to please (keep it neat)
She would do anything to sleep (keep it neat)
She would do anything to breathe a full breath down
But she’s stuck and has to carry it around
She would do anything to leave but she keeps him near
She would do anything for me yeah she keeps it sweet
She’s trying her best to paint a pretty picture for all to see
I just wish she’d believe
She’s stronger than she thinks she could do anything she wants
She could be so happy I will tell her so
Piece together fallen dreams we’ll mend them easily
You and your big heart girl will find the home it seeks
You never thought it could be
Different from what you know
You never thought it was
Something you could hold
You won’t believe what’s on the other side
You won’t believe what’s on the other side
I’m gonna to meet you on the other side
You’re stronger than you think you could do anything you want
You could be so happy and I will tell you so
Piece together fallen dreams we’ll mend them easily
You and your big heart girl will find the home it seeks

Giving The World Away
by Hatchie

supported by 4 fans who also own “People Pleaser”

Hard Rock is my heart, Synthwave is my soul. Keepsake was a great addition to my musical tastes and collection; Now comes... Giving The World Away. By far my favorite track is "Take My Hand." It definitely resonates '80s and one band in particular... The Cure. If only Robert Smith would listen to this; I could only imagine what a collaborative effort between the two would possibly sound like. Bravo Hatchie. Sylentwolf
