The Charles Kovess Show

"I've gotta be me...And others gotta be them!"

Season 1 Episode 104

In this week's Episode, I unpack the lyrics of the famous song, "I gotta be me"  written by Walter Marks.

Marks wrote the tune in 1968.

Sammy Davis Jr made this song very famous indeed, as did many other singers following Sammy Davis Jr.

In fact, Sammy Davis Jr made it 'his' song.

Note the powerful words; "I gotta be me. I gotta be free. I just gotta be free. Daring to try, to do it or die. I gotta be me."

As regular viewers or listeners would know, I'm all in favour of that idea, 'I've gotta be me'.

It's a great philosophy to embrace. 

But, then, how do you handle other people? 

What do you do with other people who also 'gotta be me'? 

How do you handle their behaviour when it upsets you? When you don't want them to behave like they do? 

I explore this as well: the need to forgive others, to allow others to be them. 

I explore the crucial benefits of inspiration that flow from such forgiveness.

Stick around, I think you'll enjoy it.
