My own way

"We Don't Do Things the Easy Way"-the title says it all. This song is an anthem for those who resist the moment when a single choice can change their fate, continuing to reject the 'easy path.' The repeated lyrics 'Could've just taken that house' and 'Could've just stayed in...' symbolize 'stability' in life. However, the protagonists of this story do not choose that. Orlando, Savannah, Edmonton-each should have a safe place, yet they do not allow themselves to stop until their work is done and they reach their dreams. I can picture them traveling through the Southern landscapes, going 'Up and down' through Memphis, Delta, and Mississippi. 'The madness'-this crazed passion, an unstoppable will. 'You wanna know who we are?'-who they are. To know that, one must continue the journey with them. This song depicts the pain and conflict that lie beyond the 'easy path' they did not choose, and the strength that can turn even that into pride. No matter how far or how painful it is, we don't do things the easy way. The 'way of life' embedded in those words will surely stir your heart. The gritty journey through the South, the wavering pride, the uncontrollable passion-all of it is etched into this one song.
