Weekly Shinedown - Song Eighteen - I Dare You - Acoustic!

Hey There!

Here is my next song that has contributed to my Shinedown journey!

After listening to the original version of I Dare You, I decided to listen to the acoustic version because I knew that since I had loved the original, and all of the other Shinedown acoustic tracks, I would love this one!

The first time that I listened to this song would have been at the beginning of November 2014, but I didn't add it into my main playlist until Tuesday 11th November 2014.

The introduction to this song is amazing, and I just love the constant strumming that is played in the introduction, and in the background of the first verse.

My favourite line of this song has got to be "even in madness I know you still believe, paint me on canvas so I become what you could never be" mainly because of the meaning behind it. The way that I see this song is as if God is telling someone that even though life is complicated, he can see that they still have faith in him. Then God is telling him to look up to him, and he will send his son into the world to become the perfect and sinless human beings that we could never live up to!

This song has got such impossible chords to it, and although I would absolutely love to be able to play the introduction at least, it will probably never happen. Therefore, I will just have to appreciate everyone's amazing covers on YouTube!

Please comment below some of your most recent Shinedown songs that you have discovered!


I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to I Dare You - Acoustic below incase you're interested!

Hello, let me introduce you to
The characters in the show
One says yes, one says no
Decide - which voice in your head you can keep alive

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello, are you still chasing
The memories in shadows
Some stay young, some grow old
Come alive, there are thoughts unclear
You can never hide

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello
Hello...
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello...
Hello...
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
