Getting strong 90s vibes, and that’s a good thing. Nice song!

[dananorris]

Never heard of her and will need to hear more of her!

[bdyeager]

Joy is the absolute best! I saw her perform a sold out show at 1st Avenue in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago. I'm so glad she's finding success, she's earned it.❤

[samgarcia]

I love Joy so much. Proof of Life is an amazing album.

[vbickford]

I've never heard this song before. It really speaks to me - and millions more like me. WONDERFUL! Thanks LNWSC for giving me this gift.

[ellenmurphy]

The lyrics are about me right now. Great song. I feel that song personally.

[rkuriakis]

The beat, the vibe, the mood., 😍 Perfect song for summer 2023

If you liked this song, Joy has more really incredible music. Brilliant poetry, great production and songwriting. I currently can't stop listening to Changes and We're All Gonna Die (from her latest album). But you don't want to miss her previous album either, which is also pretty stunning.

[sarahsmolinski]

My new favorite! Going to see her in Nashville in 2 weeks! So stoked ❤

[joanneweiss]

Love Stephen introducing new artists, shes got a future once the live nerves are mastered with songs like this, watch the official audio YT WOW ! Wish I'd had this song to play piano at coffeehouses in college (70s LoL)

[anikadraw]

YES!! Go Joy & band— ya’ll deserve to enjoy every bit of the goodness you are creating.

[dawntreader]

This gives my nineties heart a boost. Thank you!

Lyrics: "Somebody Like Me"

Even when I do my best
Feels like it doesn't matter
Feels like it doesn't matter
I've watched even my best intentions
Turn into disaster
Everything goes backwards

I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions
Learned to say sorry for the things I do
Though I don't want to
Some days it feels so hard to get better
And I've never been as honest as I want to be
When I need help through

Can anybody say a prayer?
Can anybody light a candle?
For somebody like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's the least that God could do
For giving more than He could handle
To somebody like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I've watched all my rivers run dry
Over and over
Over and over
Now I know that's no way to get by
Can't keep on fixing
The things I haven't broken

I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions
Learned to say sorry for the things I do
Though I don't want to
Some days it feels so hard to get better
And I've never been as honest as I want to be
When I need help through

Can anybody say a prayer?
Can anybody light a candle
For somebody like me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's the least that God could do
For giving more than He could handle
To somebody like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?

Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?

Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?

Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?
