Liner Notes:
I just can't get over the amount of people complaining about each other in the world. Just get over it and do something if you don't like it!
Billy Sea has recorded music for this! Thanks Billy. :-)
Billy: I found these wonderful lyrics after 5090 was over (but already had my 50 so pffft...lol) Calum allowed me the honor to record a version of it and this is what I came up with. I am happy with the way that almost all of my collaborations come out, but there are a few that are very special to me and this is one of those. Thanks Calum!
Lyrics:
I hate haters
They haven't a clue
Even what they're moaning about
I hate haters
And that includes you
If all you do is scream, kick and shout
Open your eyes, the people around you
Are trying their best, don'cha know?
They're only human, just like you
Everyone has got room to grow
So cast the first stone
If that's what you want
But remember when the time comes around
When you've done something
That people don't like
You'll find that none of your "friends" can be found
Open your heart, the people around you
Aren't trying to cause you pain
But if you lock yourself up, and throw away the key
It'll happen again and again
I hate haters,
They're so full of it
They think they have got everything right
But i'm ready to forgive,
When they open their eyes
And finally step into the light
And finally step into the light
i hate haters!

A Billy Sea interpretation is always a welcome. Not definitively rock, but this country/folk number captures your lyrical sentiment with lithe, brisk ease. I've had to deal with a few haters myself over the past few weeks, and I'm trying to love them...even when they insist on hating me more.
Great work, the both of ya. Two class acts. Awesome and thanks for sharing.
Peace.
So glad I can hear your song now Calum and Billy. You've done a great job, your song is catchy and strong. Really good! Very powerful lyrics and brilliant music, guitar and vocals. I wonder if you Calum would be interested in joining with Billy adding more sounds may be for the finishing part of the song and where you are saying:
"Open your heart, the people around you
Aren't trying to cause you pain"
May be even backing vocals there? Anyway, fantastic song, thank you both!
I love it Calum/Billy...
We need to start bringing back this old saying... and enforcing it!
"Momma always said if I have nothin' good to say
Then say nothin.............at all"
I love this Calum. After reading through it a couple times I had to break out my guitar and tinker around a bit. I think this works nicely as a rock but also think it would work as a Dylanish folk song (and am most curious to hear a Kiwafruit uke/banjo version).
Anyway, love love this lots!
Fantastic lyrics Calum, that's so much how I feel especially when I watch a fantastic video on YouTube and there are hundreds of thumbs down and such sick stupid idiotic comments which make no sense. I can hear your voice in every single word, you'll create fantastic song, I'm sure of that!
Agreed. I totally dig the lyrics, but I've tried rock before and it was a clear indication that I need not try rock again.
Man, can't wait to hear what you'll do with this. I'd request a claim, but can't play rock with acoustic uke and banjo, just wouldn't work. And song needs loud rock, methinks. Unless you wanted to be all ironic about it...
