Question:
Grasping at straws, but looking for an older (maybe mid-to-late 90's) song...?
Basically, I want to say it sounds close to the beginning of "Hold On" by Good Charlotte. It's got similar guitars and whatnot...
The voice reminded me of a toned down John Mayer (sorta grainy/lower/relaxed). And the closest band I can think of is Jimmy Eat World.
Lyrically, they both share that kind of, "keep going, you'll make it" theme, but this other song I'm thinking of sounded a lot better.
Anyway, just throw out random guesses so I can look up the lyrics and see if any are close to being right (I know it's very vague but maybe someone can guess that well).
Answers: By any chance could it be "In the middle" by Jimmy Eat World?
Lyrics are:
"Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
[Chorus]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
[Chorus x2]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
[Chorus x2]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)."
