Song #10: "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw


        The song "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw is one of the best examples of transcendentalism out there. In the chorus, the line "I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately" shows the value in loving who you are and sticking with it. On a similar note, the other part of the chorus that says "I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do or who I'm supposed to be, I don't want to be anything other than me," shows the theme of not conforming to society, and still remaining true to yourself, which is an important transcendental quality.
