Song: Normal Like You
Artist: Everclear
Album: So Much for the Afterglow
Transcribed by: AlanTheWise (spfan607@yahoo.com)

Okay, this SHOULD be in standard tuning, but in the recording they have it 
tuned about 1/4 flat. Why do they tune it like that? I dont know. Probably just 
to piss off people like me who are trying to tab it out. Oh well, it's a cool 
enough song to have to go through the troubles of figuring it out.
So if you play along to it, it is going to sound really weird unless you have
software that can increase the pitch of it by 1/4 of a step. You can find lots 
of WinAmp plugins that do things like that on WinAmp.com but of course you have 
to be using WinAmp to run them. Other than that, enjoy!

Please realize that if you request a song for me to tab out that the odds of 
me tabbing it are not so high, consittering it takes a good deal of time.
But feel free to ask anyway! I will still try my best.

	I never want to be normal like everyone else . . .

	i have memories of my brother and i singing this song together during car rides, it's great, because we have such different tastes (him: techno, me: country) but we can agree on everclear. =) i believe this song is about a girl who has been so drugged out on prozac and meds and all kinds of stuff that she's a walking zombie. the guy finds himself conforming, taking the right meds to be "normal", but he's thinking maybe he can learn from her, because he doesn't want to be like that. "maybe i can be normal like you" is heavily sarcastic. he can't stop what he knows is going to happen, he knows he's going to be like her one day.

	This song is basically about how people can be so superficial and how happy they seem to be. It's saying how hard it is to be yourself and different, how much it hurts, and how everyday it seems as if becomes harder to be yourself, and how much easier it would be to succumb and become superficial

	Being depressed has little to do with being sad. Depression is a feeling of hopelessness, helplessness, and guilt coupled with a number of unexplainable fears. Sadness is a logical for of expression of unhappiness or sorrow. In short there is usually a logical reason for someone to feel sad but (clinical) depression is often without reason and is directed towards oneself or one's situation. I am just trying to explain, sorry if I just babbled.

	I think it's mocking the whole craze (spelling?) for prescribing mood altering pills to America's youth. Back in the day there was no Ridilan or Prozac and the world didn't cease to exist. Now when a kid acts a little bit different then a teacher or his parents want him too, boom your on these mood altering drugs. Hell I was put on Ridilin when I was in 3rd grade and now I'm off it and I'm a pretty stable college student with a 3.0 GPA. I think that it's stressing individuiality, but at the same time it is mocking this new cultural acceptance of drugs that alter peoples moods. Art is saying like, "Your all depresed from the Prozac, and I'm gonna probably join you someday at the rate people are being diagnosed". I like this song a lot, one of the best ones on Learning How to Smile: Volume 1 :)
