SONG
Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Mick Wordley at Mixmasters Studios in Adelaide, AU - mixmasters.com.au
Additional recording by Martin Bisi in Brooklyn, NY.
LYRICS:
In my mind
In a future five years from now
I'm one hundred and twenty pounds
And I never get hung over
Because I will be the picture of discipline
Never minding what state I'm in
And I will be someone I admire
And it's funny how I imagined
That I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I am not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
And in my mind
In the faraway here and now
I've become in control somehow
And I never lose my wallet
Because I will be the picture of of discipline
Never fucking up anything
And I'll be a good defensive driver
And it's funny how I imagined
That I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
And in my mind
When I'm old I am beautiful
Planting tulips and vegetables
Which I will mindfully watch over
Not like me now
I'm so busy with everything
That I don't look at anything
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
And it's funny how I imagined
That I could be that person now
But that's not what I want
But that's what I wanted
And I'd be giving up somehow
How strange to see
That I don't wanna be the person that I want to be
And in my mind
I imagine so many things
Things that aren't really happening
And when they put me in the ground
I'll start pounding the lid
Saying I haven't finished yet
I still have a tattoo to get
That says I'm living in the moment
And it's funny how I imagined
That I could win this, win this fight
But maybe it isn't all that funny
That I've been fighting all my life
But maybe I have to think it's funny
If I wanna live before I die
And maybe it's funniest of all
To think I'll die before I actually see
That I am exactly the person that I want to be
Fuck yes
I am exactly the person that I want to be

3 years ago I came upon this song when my daughter was 7 and I was playing Life is Strange.
Now my daughter is 10 and she plays the ukelele while she sings this song.
Life is strange.

I've made a tradition of listening to this song at least once on my birthday. It's definitely doing a lot for me today, on my 30th birthday, after a year of having my life turned upside down. I am nowhere near being the person I thought I would be last year, and in a very different situation altogether. But I can focus on being the person today that I want to be, and for the most part I think I am that person.
Thanks Amanda, for continuing to inspire me with this song.

This is unimportant but wow those arms. She looks strong. I want to look that strong when I get older

The, "I've been fighting all my life," has hit me two or three times tonight and now I can't stop crying. This whole song hits me hard and I hope someday to come to its resolution.

Anyone listening in '21? I was introduced to Amanda Palmer a couple months ago and I can't get any of her music out of my head now. I cant believe I didnt find her sooner.

I was talking to my friend and I was telling her how much I hated my self and the way I act and that is why I changed and she told me to hear this song. Now I'm crying and this is my favorite song

This song made me realize how I'm always fighting to become who I want to be but that I don't enjoy who I am enough. The fuck yes at the end represented my exact thought at the moment; the feeling of being content with who I am.

I just cried like a baby listening to this song.. it just gets me every time I listen to it. Not a lot gets to me like this..

Whenever I need a remind that I am on the right track. That I am great and though not perfect the kind of person I should always have wanted to be...I listen to this song. I forget all too often that I am someone worth looking up to and looking forward to.
thank you.

The way she eyelinered-in that eyebrow though....I spend a year trying to put a line on my eye.

When you said "Fuck Yes". You made me feel like I had a huge bubble coming up and out of my chest! Like a chackra was being activated or I was going to burst from feeling so good! Thank you so much!

I've forgotten how much this song could heal my soul.

I bought a ukulele just because of this song. I had to learn to play it just so I could play this song. I'm 47 years old, and I've never played any instrument before. I've never even been a fan of hers. But this song has gotten into me and isn't letting go!
