[SINGLE] We Are Warriors

I loved the way she sang the shine part at 1:51

this is the only good thing about this version

Her voice sounded sharp, unlike in the original version, her voice blended well in the song. Obviously this was produced in the most rush/basic way, like fly 💀.

I did not expect any extraordinary result though. At least she's really out there making a huge effort helping people in her own way (we know she likes being independent lol).

I like the production changes to the song. Overall it’s pretty good.

I love the enhancement of violin, enhanced the emotion as well. But I really dislike the vocal sorry. Sounded even more autotuned than Let Go, HTNG, WTH. It would be perfect if times allowed. Unfortunately she didn't plan ahead to cause this. After all, it's no worse than Fly anyway. Overall, I think it's better than the original song except the vocal

I used two different headphones and the phone's speaker, and I hear No'wmh'not afraid  .
We need an international commission to solve this. ben545 and katy can represent Her Majesty, a user from Cali whose name I forgot, Uncle Bob and BogoGog24 can represent the land that spans from Detroit down to Houston, from New York to L.A., and the rest of us can represent each our own country, just like in Eurovision, which has been unfortunately called off this year. Twelve points go to - Armenia!
Now, where was I? 

Always looking for the glimmer of positivity, lol
I didn't expect much because I never really liked the (original) song, unlike many people here and elsewhere. I liked the notion of putting out a fight song, but the original seemed full of uncomfortable voice stretching and generic lines, so I thought - hey, the pandemic is quite a specific, direct theme you can address, Alicia Keys is going to premiere a song on the theme on CNN tonight, so how hard can it be to make new keep-holding-on-themed (not referring to KHO) lyrics over the Warrior melody? Well, apparently, for Avril it proved too big of a challenge. "We're stronger, that's why we're alive", "we won't stop and we won't drop 'till the victory's ours" (so we'll drop dead right after getting through the pandemic?) point that there wasn't put much thought into this little project at all, and furthermore;

You don't need no management or team to take a couple of solemn hours with only you and yourself to really think about each and every word and what it means. We all get many moments when we don't even notice how something may come out not-as-intended, insensitive or even offensive without us being aware, but the big plus at writing a song is, that you have all the time in the world to take a deep breath, write it down, say it quietly or out loud, say it with different intonation, check Wiktionary what a word means, and when you're really really sure its containing the message you want to send, go to the microphone, and send it out to the world to hear. It doesn't need to be super deep by any means - sometimes celebrity artists get some kind of a "saviour" delusion where they think their super-and-oh-so-extraordinary insight, provided to us through overdone lyrics, will somehow make a revelation to the world that will be on par with the second coming of Jesus, but one doesn't need any of that. Make it simple, make it 'for the plebeians', but make it relevant - struggling with illness can be about fighting or even strength, but if we take for example oncology wards, there even those who don't make it through are considered strong, fighters, warriors, you name it, so her line about strong=alive is tone-deaf not only to Coronavirus situation, but to victims of any serious illnesses. 


On a mildly positive note, I like the quieter part from 2:55 onwards, for a few seconds, she manages to put out her 'trademark' soft voice again.

The "lyric changes" reminds me of the time I used Breakaway for a 60s themed play and changed 1-2 phrases to fit the narrative and felt so proud of myself. I was also bragging about Avril having written the song when she didn't do anything. Ah fun naive times

BTW I began to play the song on YouTube and noticed, like always, some fans saying not to post the song in a nasty way. Usually I don't pay attention to those people but they are right that this is a charity single and what little profit this song will gain through streams will be given toward people who need it. Maybe save the rest of your plays for when it's officially out in your country. Let's be real not all of us will be playing this song much so might as well let whatever we stream count. It was released for a good cause after all. And those who are deeply devoted to playing it after the hype of today 👍
