The Way I Am

Wow. It's been too long. I have so many great songs and albums to review! I think about this blog 24/7 and I am THRILLLLED to finally have a chance to sit down and share it all with you.

The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson is a song you probably all have heard. I used to hear it play in the ice skating rink every time my friends and I went (which wasn't often enough). So when my mom said "I FOUND THE BEST SONG EVER!!" and played it for me I fell so in love with it.

This song is an absolutely wonderfully simple love song. It's not a song about how she'd die without the man she loves or how he's her world or she can't stop thinking about him. No, she just talks about how she'll take of him, because he takes her just the way she is despite what everyone else thinks.

The lyrics are so cute! And I just love the world the music puts you in. It's calm and flowy, and the way the verses flow wit her voice sounds really sincere. She puts a lot of tiny minute dynamics into the song and she puts a lot of controlled emotion into a short uncomplicated song.

I have to say, I also love that it's from a self released album of hers, and the reason she started making her own music was because she never got into any shows on Broadway or else where because she was never "the type". So she was like "Screw it, I'm doing my own thing!" ;)

The video says all! So enjoy, enjoy, for it's been too long :)

The Way I Am- Ingrid Michaelson

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
