| I think its telling some one who wants to give up and just pretend to be someone else to just be yourself and just live life to the fulllest and to pay attention to the things around you | |

| I think you are all right. It's about being yourself even when it seems like its not good enough, because to someone it is or will be. You never know who you might miss out on meeting because you were hung up on being someone else. Basically you only live once, so dance in the rain, and be the person that you want to be, not who you think everyone else wants you to be. | |

| kristin is definitely right. this song is all about empowerment, and is very inspirational if you're in a rut. if things are getting rough for you, just give up the state of mind you're in because its not working. be yourself, and don't take anything for granted. FAVORITE PART: "hey hey - haven't you ever danced in the rain or thanked the sun just for shining, just for shining, or the sea? oh no, take it all in, the world's a show and yeah, you look much better, you look much better when you glow.." AND "if you wanna be somebody else, if you're tired of losing battles with yourself, if you wanna be somebody else, change your mind" | |
