I Try Is Cool And All But
Macy Gray Lyrics

Macy, look, as your friend, I care about you and you just need to try new things, you know (mm-hmm)
I'm your friend and I want you to be the best artist you can be. You need to explore new sounds to grow.

You need to, like, discover new sounds (uh-huh)
You should search for fresh, unique sounds to incorporate in your music.

Vocal sounds (uh huh)
Try new techniques with your voice to add variety to your singing.

To be the best artist that you could be like (uh-huh)
Push yourself to achieve greatness and become a well-rounded musician, much like Britney Spears.

"I Try" is cool and all, but (uh huh)
Your hit song is great, but it's time to expand your musical horizons.

It'd be a cool twist, like a fresh spin on it (uh-huh) if you was like
It would be a great idea to put a new spin on your hit song for your fans to enjoy.

I try to say goodbye and I choke, uh
I struggle to say my farewells and often find myself overwhelmed with emotion.

I try to walk away and I... fall — stumble
I attempt to leave a situation but end up tripping and stumbling instead.

Do you got any other suggestions?
Do you have any other recommendations for me?

Besides change my voice (yeah, you know who was like)
Other than altering my voice to improve my singing, what else do you suggest? (Interrupted by another conversation)

...was like (mmm?) was... like... she's
Someone mentioned something about another artist (trying to remember)

That Jagged Little Pill album is crazy (oh!) Alanis Morissette (oh)
Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill album is amazing and you should take inspiration from it.

Like, and then you'll like ...all the Canadian fans will love you even more
If you take inspiration from other Canadian artists like Alanis Morissette, your Canadian fanbase will grow even larger.

You need Canada
You should embrace your Canadian identity and use it in your music to connect with your audience.

And she's amazing, like, she been havin' that break in her voice, like (uh huh) You can, you could, you should have that more (oh! The break in my voice)
Alanis Morissette has a unique vocal break in her voice that you should use more often in your music.

And then, when you, like, sing
When you sing in the future

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I try Like, you know, like that (oh, right, right, so, change my voice)
You can put a new spin on your hit song by incorporating the vocal techniques we discussed earlier.

Yeah, you probably shouldn't even sing (that's—) your own song You should just sing her song 'cause it's (oh) ... her song is a lot stronger, yeah
Perhaps it would be better for you to sing a cover of Alanis Morissette's song instead of your own, as her song is stronger and would showcase your talent.

Do you have any, like, good suggestions?
Do you have any other helpful ideas or recommendations for me?

Um
Hesitating to answer

You gotta add, like, some of them Shakira flavors
You could add some of Shakira's unique style and techniques to your music.

Oh, right
Understanding and agreeing with the suggestion

I try, I try to walk away, to walk away (oh) But I stumble, da-da da da-de-da-di
Repeating the chorus of Macy Gray's hit song, "I Try".
