In Ingrid Michelson's classic The Way I Am, she approaches her audience in a playful way. The song is very cheerful and makes you smile. In addition to its lighthearted tone, the song can be interpreted as a way of explaining your love for someone. Loving someone unconditionally.... anything is possible.
Ingrid says, "If you were falling then I would catch you"this is far more than the the literal explanation; it has an underlying metaphor that illustrates appreciation for your friend, family member or even your companion. Instrumentally the song is relatively simple, but that is what makes the song so great. Being able to make your audience react without a giant climax is refreshing because 21st century music is very bold and sometimes somewhat vulgar. This song highlighted simplicity as a musical vitality and importance in soulful singers. Ingrid Michelson's songs have become very popular to a variety of ages and still acts as a reference to many Indie artists today.
