Story Behind The Song
We can all get hung up on negativity and feel like our lives aren't the way we envisioned them. This song was written from that perspective. It started out with a quirky bass line, and developed into an interesting arrangement, with a ska style bridge. The chorus is like an anthem, which I hope inspires listeners to have a new perspective on life.
Song Description
An airy pop/alternative song with driven female vocals suggests that life can be different of you try something new. This song is a mixture of styles to say the least. The guitar and bass lines add an interesting touch to the feel of the verses. While the chorus is straight up power pop and the bridge has a ska feel.

Lyrics
Alternate Reality:
Verse 1:
I'm wide open and I'm eager to learn.
Since I'm so willing, why that look of concern?
It's not like you, you say. But I'm the one with the open mind.
Seems like yesterday, we exchanged words not so kind.
Chorus:
It's not scary when you think of all the possibilities.
And where you could be if you just strived, for an alternate, and alternate reality.
Verse 2:
I'm all ears, while you plead your case.
Don't think of lying straight to my face.
I've changed through the years, for the better I think.
When given the choice, I'll swim and not sink.
Chorus:
It's not scary when you think of all the possibilities.
And where you could be if you just strived, for an alternate, and alternate reality.
Bridge:
My minds wide open.
