"This is my fight song"

[MrCrowesGarden]

It kind of reminds me of this, only it's not satire:

It's okay to celebrate the little victories, but maybe remember to keep it in perspective?

I don't know, it just seems like personal achievement and hard work is no longer appreciated.

Everybody's just sitting around waiting for handouts, right?

No, that isn't what I said.

your daughter working her ass off to become a doctor and contribute to society is something worth applauding.

"writing" (which i question that she actually wrote the song and didnt have a bunch of suits write it for her) a pop song about writing a pop song is not even in the same universe.

I get that.

I don't get why anyone should hate someone for achieving something through work and perseverance, even if it is for writing a stupid pop song. She didn't give up when she was told she wasn't good enough, I would think that is worth a little praise, not derision and hatred, even if she is white.

no, everyone is allowed to dream, no matter class or color of skin.

but stuff like "Fight Song" are the reason why everyone hates white people

That and the Small Pox blankets.

Sooo, rich white girls are not allowed to have dreams?

What about lower middle class white girls, I need to know if I need to tell my girls to just pack it in now, or if they can have dreams and work for them, even if they are not world changing?

I agree the song is crap, but to her, it was still a challenge put in front of her that she didn't give up. It may seem trite and not as important as other trials people need to go through, but it was real to her.

They can have dreams they just can't tell us about their struggles when they don't have any. What's she taking her life back from? Hell I just thought of another reason to hate it. Sounds like those Oregon Militia dickheads. "We gotta take back our country!" All while cashing in off the govt. What is this girl's struggle? She's attractive, apparently has talent, and was clearly born into wealth. Did her boyfriend dump her. Ohh poor girl let's make a movie of her life.

Mainly "Fight Song" though.

Maybe not quite as vinegary as Dreamer, but same idea. It's the tone-deafness of the lyrics that are baffling.

When I hear "this is my fight song, take back my life song, prove I'm alright song"... I automatically think "man, life must have dealt this person a [expletive] hand." Figured it was cancer or some other debilitating disease, maybe family members dying in tragedy.... but it's not.

So what, it has been used as inspirational for people who do have a disease, or have to fight through adversity, and it is not like the singer ever pretended the song was about anything but her self doubts in trying to make it in the music industry - her dream.

Anyway, I don't get the hatred for her. But if some of you guys hate her for the situation she was born in to and her skin color, so be it.
