“Me, Myself and I” sung by G-Eazy featuring Bebe Rexha was produced by Michael Keenan, G-Eazy , Christoph Anderson, Bebe Rexha and TMS and released in October 2014. I chose this song to be apart of my mix because I identify with the message which it conveys.
I am the second to last child in my family, but it feels like I am the only child who did not get an opportunity to develop a bond with my other siblings because of the age gap between us. The first four children are older than me, the oldest being seventeen years older, while the youngest is eight years younger than me. Hence, I was unable to form bonds because my older siblings thought of me to be too young for them to associate with and I thought to myself that my youngest sister was not old enough for me to form a bond with. It was from there and then that I realized that I had to find a way to form a bond with myself and learn to enjoy my own company. I grew up feeling like a loner within my own family and regardless of the fact that I went to school and developed friendships I still felt like it was imperative to yield to the ideology that I can be my best friend and it was also very important to be independent and acknowledge that I can rely on myself to accomplish great things in life.
The artiste went ahead to say “I don’t need anything to make me satisfied” . This line is very important because he shows us that regardless of the fact that others and what they have to offer might be imperative to our pursuit of happiness, it is our responsibility to be our main motivator to ensure our success. I am quite sure that at some point in everyone’s life they have encountered obstacles which left them feeling quite overwhelmed and they might even feel as if they have lost who they are, forgot about their standards, morals or even life goals and/or dreams. However, G-Eazy shows us through his song that we can empower ourselves knowing that we can be the best version of ourselves in order to stay on course and achieve our goals and exceed even our own expectations.
Nice connection to a family story. Looking forward to reading more.
Your personal connection to the song is very interesting but also inspiring in my opinion. Although you grew up feeling as though you were alone you were able to overcome it and learn that sometimes all you really need is yourself.
I have always enjoyed this song for several reasons. I feel ir is uplifting, lots of high treble with Bebe’s voice, and more. Despite this, one thing I did not think about is the actual message of the song. I really like how you are able to connect the song so well to your personal familial experiences.
