Notes:

Have you ever met people, who seemed so different to you, but who, to your surprise, managed to become close friends? Yes, everyone knows that opposites attract. But the question is whether they can keep communicating and agreeing. I think you're probably gonna say, "No, it can't be happening!" But the characters, to whose friendship my next song is dedicated, can definitely argue with you about it. So, this is my weekly rubric, "Soundtracks for my books", and this is another song written by me and called "Different Like Stars". The song, work on which took one week of my life and destroyed tons of nerves of mine. I was thinking about which book this track should've been for, but it was too early for one book, and it didn't fit for another… So, I decided that this song would be the soundtrack for "The Lost And Forgotten Memories", Book 4 from the "Stronger Together" series. "Different Like Stars" is one of my favorite songs of those I've written. To be clear, I really like the melody. It's actually perfect for both of the characters. And another reason is that it's rock. But I really love rock (who agrees with me?). Electric guitars, drums, bass — all of it is about me. Lyrics Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHuvArWTGGM

[Verse] No one thought we’d have something to share They believed this case was super rare We’re different boys from different worlds Who should’ve always been apart You were quiet and shy, I was sassy and cold But we ended up on the same road [Verse 2] People still wonder how it could happen How we did what they couldn’t imagine We’re different lads from different worlds Who were supposed to go on opposite roads You are the hot fire, I am the cold ice But we don’t mind starting this wild race [Pre-Chorus] We’re like fire and water, like night and day It’s amazing that we chose to walk this way Together We don’t regret anything we’ve come through 'Cause we’re lucky to have each other as friends [Chorus] We’re different like stars We’re like pieces of glass You make me brave, I make you strong We stand together in any storm Our connection is deeper than it seems We’re united by the same dreams [Verse 3] I used to think you were a monster I used to be afraid of any stranger Thinkin’ the world was against me Thinkin’ everyone wanted to hurt me It was hard to find the courage to trust But now I know you won’t turn me to dust [Verse 4] Your behavior made me confused I didn’t mean to have you abused If I knew you were bullied by the cruel world I would’ve torn apart anyone who made you hurt My words will no longer stab you like a knife I’ve learned a lesson about thinking twice [Pre-Chorus] You came into my life when I stayed alone When I was left broken and thrown You’re my shield, I’m your sword I’m your brother, you’re my guard We weren’t wrong when we decided to be friends [Chorus] We’re different like stars (Different like stars) We’re like pieces of glass You make me brave, I make you strong We stand together in any storm Our connection is deeper than it seems We’re united by the same dreams [Bridge] We love, we laugh, we fight But we’re still on the same ride Our friendship is only growing We get closer and keep running Being ready to face our future To start our crazy adventure [Pre-Chorus] I’m your shield, you’re my sword You’re my brother, I’m your guard We are much closer than it seems We are united by the same dreams [Chorus] We’re different like stars (Different like stars) We’re like pieces of glass (We’re like fire and water) You make me brave, I make you strong (You’re my brother, I’m your guard) We stand together in any storm Our connection is deeper than it seems (Like night and day) We’re united by the same dreams [Outro] It was hard to find the courage to trust But now I know you won’t turn me to dust My words will no longer stab you like a knife I’ve learned a lesson about thinking twice

Notes:

As I mentioned before, this song is about the friendship of two absolutely different boys, whose communication surprises everyone, who meets them for the first time. At first sight, the first one is a shy and quiet guy with a lot of mental traumas, and the other is a cold and sassy dude, who kind of treats everything carelessly. But it's actually just a mask. The first impression that they make people feel. If you get deeper into their story, you can see that they are not so different. They actually have a lot in common. And Peter, a shy and quiet one, can snap determinedly and fight fearlessly, but Daniel, a sassy and cold one, is just playing the role, even though he can actually be a sweetie. Their story begins in the book "The Broken Hearts Story". The fact that they don't tell something to each other makes their relationship much worse in "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars". Daniel becomes the lead character and runs into some problems in "The Lost And Forgotten Memories", and Peter tries to help him as well as the other characters. And then Peter accepts the baton and plays a starring role in my new book 5 from the series "Stronger Together", which I'm currently working on so hard. By the way, you can learn the title of it if you check out the post about the song "I'm Not A Freak," which is the theme of one of these two.
