Song for the New Year: ‘I Don’t Want To Be’ (anything other than me) could be an anthem for 2018

I Don’t Want To Be

Gavin DeGraw

“I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms
wondering what I’ve got to do, or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me”

The chorus says it all, doesn’t it.

I’ve been hooked to this song since One Tree Hill was on air (it was the theme song of the TV show). I don’t think I’ve ever heard this track just once. It’s been my go-to pick-up song for over a decade, and this year was no different.
