Story Behind The Song
A radio guy refused to play my music because of production. I got hurt and upset and thought I'd write a song about my feelings. I think sometimes people in charge of making the radio decisions should allow the song to spin and they should let the fans decide!
Song Description
Just talks about people always trying to cut down the music others create and someone finally saying who cares what you think. Make music because it's good for your soul despite what others think!

You know he said she said they said it all

But there's always someone rainin down on my parade
