Since I have a little tradition to publish something on my birthday, I decided to make an exclusion and post a song that would be the soundtrack for Book 5 from the series "Stronger Together" that I'm currently working on. One month ago, I made a post on my accounts on social networks and revealed a list of songs, so you could select one. I was really thinking about posting one of them, but I recently decided to do an experiment and mixed the lyrics of the songs that I had written before after changing them slightly to make them sound more harmonic. So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome the rock mix of such songs as "Ride Or Die", the soundtrack of "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars" and "Different Like Stars", the soundtrack of "The Lost And Forgotten Memories". By the way, if you haven't listened to them, I recommend you do it.
Even if the result is really good, I spent a lot of time working on this song: I wanted to change the lyrics, replace something, didn't like the music, had some words swallowed, and had many other issues. My plan for this song is to let the lead male characters perform it somewhere in the last chapters. For your information, these two songs are dedicated to the friendship of these guys. I was thinking about mixing these songs together for a long time, but my first attempt was a failure. But now I decided to try again, and I don't regret what I did.
[Verse]
Even if we're desperate and devastated
Even though life seems complicated
I know you will always take care of me
You will always be near when I need you
[Pre-Chorus]
We're quiet and shy, we're sassy and cold
And we ended up on the same road
We don’t regret anything we’ve come through
We’re lucky to have each other as friends
[Chorus]
Ride or die (ride or die)
We laugh 'till we cry
We’re different like stars
We’re like pieces of glass
You’re my bridge, you’re my light
I’m your protector, I’m your might
You make me brave, I make you strong
We stand together in any storm
Even when I tell you to run
When I am under the gun
[Post-Chorus]
Our connection is deeper than it seems
We’re united by the same dreams
[Verse 2]
We’re different boys from different worlds
With hot blood, with young wild hearts
We can be shields, we can be swords
We're true brothers, we're real guards
[Pre-Chorus]
People know our friendship is unshakable
They know our connection is unbreakable
I don’t have to call out your name
And I’m never alone crying in pain
[Chorus]
Ride or die (ride or die)
We laugh 'till we cry
We’re different like stars
We’re like pieces of glass
You’re my bridge, you’re my light
I’m your protector, I’m your might
You make me brave, I make you strong
We stand together in any storm
Even when I tell you to run
When I am under the gun
[Post-Chorus]
We’re different like stars (oh-oh, oh-oh)
We’re like pieces of glass (whoa, whoa)
[Bridge]
We love, we laugh, we fight
(We're ready to give a hand)
But we’re still on the same ride
(We'll take each other's pain)
Our friendship is only growing
We get closer and keep running
[Chorus]
Ride or die (ride or die)
We laugh 'till we cry
We’re different like stars (different like stars)
We’re like pieces of glass
You’re my bridge, you’re my light (oh, oh, oh)
I’m your protector, I’m your might
You make me brave, I make you strong (whoa, whoa)
We stand together in any storm (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Even when I tell you to run (we love, we laugh, we fight)
When I am under the gun (we’re still on the same ride)
[Post-Chorus]
We’re different like stars (ride or die)
We’re like pieces of glass (ride or die)
[Outro]
Our connection is deeper than it seems
We’re united by the same dreams
