You know, a lot of songs like to talk about how life is perfect, or stress-free, or that everything is cool... Well, we all know it's not sometimes. I wrote these lyrics to acknowledge that sometimes life gets hard, for all of us. The true measure of who we are doesn't come from the good times though, it comes from how we HANDLE ourselves during the hard times and whether or not we choose to give up, or just keep pushing on.
Ok, so Nate and I are back in the game and BOY does it feel good!! This song is the first in a series of songs we're writing that will be released before the end of this year! I'm curious to see how my new audience handles original music from my brother and me.. Last time I released an original song I had about a 3rd of the following I have now... Fingers crossed! ^^;
And now, the links and credits! a deafening roar erupts from the audience, like when the Hulk showed up in Thor, Ragnarok. Which was an AWESOME movie, by the way!

- - --- ---- LYRICS --- --- -- -
Turn around when the sun goes down
Don't think about it
'Till the sound of the world dies out
And you can see the lights all shining in the background
They go on and on and on
And you can turn the lights out but you can't turn the pain down
It goes on and on and on
Cause deep down inside you know that you tried and still, you hit the wall...
And if you turn the lights off it won't fix the problem
It goes on and on and on
So give it one more try
I know you won't give up cause that's not who you are
One last time
And though it's getting tough you just keep pushing on
Cause deep down inside you know you can fight and get yourself through anything
So maybe give it one more try
I know you won't give up cause that's not who you are
(CHORUS)
Look around, let the world back in
And think about it
You're still as strong as you've always been
And when you turn the lights on, let it push the pain down
and go on and on and on
Think about the future, you can change the outcome
So push on and on and on
And there will be times when you really try and still you hit the wall.
But you won't let it stop you, cause you have the freedom
To go on and on and on
So give it one more try
I know you won't give up cause that's not who you are
One last time
And though it's getting tough you just keep pushing on
Cause deep down inside you know you can fight and get yourself through anything
So maybe give it one more try
I know you won't give up cause that's not who you are
(CHORUS)

Why hello DDR's (Dedicated Description Readers)! How are you on this fine Friday (or whatever day you happen to be reading this)? You know, it's actually interesting that I call you DDR's, because I recently found out that one of the songs I did lead vocals on "Beep Beep, I'm a Sheep" is in Just Dance 2018! (Ok, so it's not Dance Dance Revolution... but hey, it's close enough!)
Here's the cringy vid... Watch it, if you dare: • Just Dance 2018: Beep ...
Also, oh my gosh! I had the COOLEST PPG flight today! There was NO wind, like none. So I flew EXTREMELY close to the trees (kicked them a bunch of times), around some dirt hills at a quary, and few inches above some reilroad tracks! I also climbed to 2,000ft and shut my engine off to see if I could glide all the way down and land on target. I was only about 10 feet off!
Oh, and at the very end, I came in for a landing on my home street! SOOOO much fun! Here's a clip of my landing: / 928824784044953600
Anyway, lemme know if you want me to make a paravlog of that flight. It was a truly memorable experience!
Anyway, I think that's it for now.
OH WAIT! How many of you will I see at EQLA? I hope a lot! I'm gonna check to see how many of you know the lyrics to this song when we perform it next weekend! ;-)
Ok, now that's REALLY it. Goodnight! (I wrote this at night. It's 1:57am right now. And there's a rattlesnake in my garage so I have THAT to look forward to in the morning. :-P)
BIE!!
~Gabe
You’ve done it again, guys. You made the perfect song for this moment in my life. If lyrics can cast spells, this song is magic from beginning to end
❤️
Well I know what I'm listening to all weekend.
Wait, wait, wait... is that future bass I hear?
Bingo! ;-)
Black Gryph0n Great job, lots feel-good vibes. Will definitely be playing this on the drive home!
YES future bass is one of my fav genres ;)
"I know you won't give up... COZ THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE"
DAMN I'M CRYING...
From someone who knows herself to be a very resilient person but is going through depression now
Thank you for this song. These are hopeful tears. Your music brings me so much hope...... salamat ng marami ❤
This track is AMAZING! So inspiring and will definitely be a walking to class song. I hopev your new audience likes it, but hey, you've got your beautifully loyal older audience to, and you know you've got my support every step of the way. Good luck with the snake. Love you!!
Wow amazing, definitely worth the wait, probably my favourite song by you ever, keep the songs coming can't wait for a new album
Also I soo wish I could go to EQLA I know you'll be amazing, unfortunately living in Australia makes it a bit hard to go to your performances, but I'll keep supporting you from the RUclips comment section for now😄
I shared this with all my friends, because I know they will never give up trying, no matter what ^-^
This is just as amazing as you and Nate always have delivered! A really powerful message embedded in the song gives it that extra touch that always gives you the feels. I love the subtle changes in tones between the high gaps, it surely does what it was intended to do (I hope).
As for the instrumental, it starts of just the right way, with a slow push forwards that quickly ascends into something beautiful, like it wraps itself into a chrysalis and later explodes into a beautiful butterfly along with the amazing vocals.
I really like the idea of having a song that is more close to heart and about how life can not always be perfect, and you certainly pulled the theme off remarkably well. I can see a lot of myself in this lyrics after having listened to it for, like, the 4th time already. UwU
I relish the fact that you feel good about releasing originals again, because I must say I missed it a lot.
DDR: Seeing this released when I got home really brightened up my Friday, especially given the theme of the song, and how dull my day had been until this point. (Thank you for that.
I'm going through a bunch of rough stuff atm, and this put a smile on my face. This ones definitely going on repeat for who knows how long~ You're awesome at sending positive vibes everyone's way, Gabe.
I'm Confused how you are not super famous at this moment, I mean Damn you're good
Whenever I hear BG's music, I can think of every possible scenario for it. I just imagine Bassik and BG in a club playing this.
Listened to this like 50 times since it came out, it's amazing. If ever a song was made for the radio it was this one. Can't wait to here blackgryph0n and Baasik on alt radio on serius XM, I know it will happen.
new album?
SuperRstar3582
I hope it's a new album!!!!!! If so I'm sooooooo excited!!!!!!!😍☺️🦄❤️💕🎙🎤
Well considering he's acknowleged this
Im going with hopefully
Hope so
BOY HE PINNED AND LOVED IT!!! THAT'S A YES!!!
It's been three years since the last one. That's three years too long!
Amazing!!!
Every song I hear, I think I’ve heard on the radio just because it’s so good and memorable
Omg I saw this and I was like HE MADE A SONG NO WAY and then I saw this and I was felt like OMG.Then I was imma watch this for the rest of my life then my bro told me "That's not who you are"Then I said "I still need to watch his other vids soo ill watch this one for only a few hours then." I love you dude your the best.
Every time you bring out something new it gets more and more inspirational. This is no exception. I don't think I will ever have another bad day between this and Say!!!
I almost forget how much I love this song. I'm so glad I found it again.
Listening to this is helping me in trying to stay positive and not to be negative all the time!
So underrated. I love this song so much. It has helped me through some really dark days. Thank you for the inspiring and caring lyrics.
I can't tell you how much I needed this song right now.
This should be on the radio AHHH
Anyone in 2019??
Black Gryphon rocks!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
hello Gryph, I am an animator (no professional one, just a hobbyist) and was wondering if I could make an animation to your song, "WHO YOU ARE". The message the song delivers is great (your talent is amazing btw) and I was wondering if I could use it as the audio to the animation. Of course, credit will be given in the video and description.
thankyou.
EDIT: these past few months haven't been going so smoothly as i thought they would. I'm also not too experienced with animation so I need to work on that first as well (so that I can deliver a better result) However, I will try to live up to what I said and perhaps eventually make an animation or animatic, seeing that I set really unrealistic standards for a single person. HOWEVER. I relate to this song even more, seeing that I'm trying to overcome my hardships. so I'll try my best!
Absolutely, I'd be honored!! Thanks for asking! :-D
Black Gryph0n ah, thankyou so much! I'll try my best to complete it, perhaps make it an actual project in 2018! :D tysm for approving
I'll sub. I wanna see it come to fruition.
Dude thats so cool! Your so lucky 🍀. Im an animator too but in fifth grade. I love this song and will love your animation of it
Please post a link to your animation for this song!
I like that he has freedom right now cause then he can make WHATEVER HE WANTS AND LOVE IT. Artists don't need recognized to be great or love what they do(: Right now he must love what he is doing because he has real supportive fans and is free from insane press and other dumb things! Black Gryphon you are amazing!
First
To listen to the song before commenting
Great song bye the way gabe💜
Haha! My favorite kind of First!
Black Gryph0n greetings Gabe!
Dropped a sub :-)
Didn't realize how much I needed this today....
Classes have beating me down, I start to doubt my own abilities...
But I've never quit. I've never given up. That's not who I am.
I just throw myself right back into it.
Thanks dude. Needed the reminder. :)
NEXT FUTURE STAR IM TELLING Y'ALL
I don't know what magic Gryphon and Baasik be using, but I needed this song more than anything right now.
I really admire people like you who pour their heart into these original pieces. It's a little piece of yourself, isn't it? This is an awesome song, and while I know it isn't easy to write your own music, it'd be awesome to see more stuff like this from you
Perfect time to release this song since I totaled my car yesterday. It wasn't my fault and no one got hurt, but I needed this...
This song really resonated with me a lot! I've been through a lot of hard stuff. I know for a fact that others have been through far worse than I, but I know I've been through quite a lot of stuff that would cause people to just give up and say "stuff you"... but I can't give up. Not because I have a loving family who I need to suppor and whom support me, not because I feel I need to prove anything, and not because I'm forced to keep going... but because I just can't give up.
Thanks for this song guys. I'm glad to have something I can really connect to.
This song really speaks to me at this point in my life (well most of your songs do lol)
Thank you :') Stay awesome guys!
Instant mood booster! Definitely my new favourite song!
Damn I feel so many things right now..happiness becuz you back making music.sadness cuz few people experience your music.
OMG, Gabe just when I thought you couldn't get any better BOOM this beautiful masterpiece! You and Nate did amazing!
I know I ask this a lot but may I have permission to make a PMV to this?
Great to see something original from you again, it feels like it's been a while. Probably hasn't actually though
Yeah! It's been almost a year I think! O_O
*10 seconds of song later* liked and added to my favorites
I love all your songs, you sing so well Gabe keep up the good work 👍🏻
How do you know to come up with the exact right song, just when I need it? I wanted to give up on something that is so worth for me, and then I went to here, cause only you can make me relax, and then I saw this. It's amazing! Thank you!
can never give up on our dreams thank you for making the song may God bless you and everything that you do take it easy bro
damn dem chords gotta love baasiks instrumentals
Wow. And here's when I thought your music couldn't get better. I was obviously wrong. This is so good!!!!
Ok why am I so in love with Gabriel's voice? Aaaaaaaaah
A new original song by Black Gryphon?? My body wasn't ready for it but I'm here to freaking jam to it!
Love your music style.
It has Heart and Soul which is rare in the music industry these day.
Keep up the amazing work, you are a true artist ;3
Amazing!! This song will really help me and other people through tough times. It tells us not to give up even when the stakes are against us. Thank you I really needed this.
On another note yes I wanna see a paravlog of the flight. I love the paravlogs.
This being released a day before my birthday makes for a pretty good one.
No words.... I have no words...
besides it's frigging beautiful!
Thanks that you are still alive i freaking love youre voice maby you cane participate with the voice
This is amazing, it sounds like something that definitely should be on the radio.✨✨✨✨✨
Yep
I created a playlist to listen to when Im really really low, feeling like I cant go on and I just added this song to it ❤ thank you
One of the best songs I have ever heard
I LOVE all your original songs! Your voice is amazing, I don’t understand how you cannot be famous and have a record deal or something by now. ❤️👍
If not for RUclips proposing your videos I wouldn't have found this song. I'm really glad I did because I really have a hard time now and thought of giving up and your song lifted me up quite a bit. Thank you! Keep up the good work! :D
This is amazing Gabe! It is my new favorite song. I listen to it when I am happy, sad, upset, or if I need encouragement (I need so much encouragement right now cause I am finishing exams lol) and it just brightens my day. Let Nathan know that I say congrats as well since he is amazing as well. Love you both!
Oh I need these words to get me through school and a lot of other stresses right now. You guys have excellent timing, again...thank you! And super pumped for some new stuff from you guys!!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much I needed this today :) Seriously, this made my night and I love it so much :D
THIS IS SUCH A BANGER HOW AM I ONLY FINDING IT JUST NOW
Oh my god, the production value is *magnificent* and great vocals too
AMAZING WORK! I'm so happy to see new stuff out! Awesome as usual with great vocals and an overall pleasing sound! Keep up the good work!
*OH MY GOD THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M JUST NOW LISTENING TO THIS SONG!*
So glad to be hearing new stuff from you guys again! Its been some time hah. I’m a big fan of this song, and I can’t wait to see what other awesome stuff you guys release!
I love this so so much. I’ve been having a rough time lately and I needed this. I will probably be listening to this on repeat for hours.
Your songs always lift me up when I’m down and I can’t thank you enough for it. You’re truly an amazing person. I hope you know that
man I've loved your music for years. and wish you the best success.
OH MY GOD I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG

Thank you Gabriel and Nate
Good to see ya again Gryph0n, you will always be one of my legends. Great song, really resignated with me. God bless!
OML I WILL SCREAM AT THE RECORD DEALS TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS U DESERVE IT MAN!
Just joined the channel the first of his original content that I have seen. Now it is my quest to memorize all the lyrics.
I've been waiting quite a while for another amazing blackgryph0n original. And I am impressed at just how amazing it is.
The fact u make variations of things using ur voice/talent and that ur not scared doing it is just Bomb u deserve more subs :3
Another masterpiece. Great vocals from you and top notch tunes from baasik. You two keep it doing what you love and don't give up. Cause that's not who you are.
Ok i just saw the description. Even though I'm new to your songs, I'm so glad you're back in the song game. But im an example saying that new people will love your new songs if you think about it. I've only discovered you near the beginning of the school you. Ever since, my stress levels have been down a few pegs. Yiu really helped when I was having a hard time recently. Thanks for what you and baasik have done. Perfect brother duo
How did I miss this music, this is amazing.
Found this song 3days ago, it’s now one of my fav :3
Hey bro, no matter what others say, you've got the voice to sing. You're truly your own original artist. Kudos.
Amazing track as always guys. I'm so excited to hear you guys are producing a new album. Looking forward to hearing more.
Great to hear new music from you guys! :D Loving this new song a lot! Amazing job! :D
Why do I love this song so much?!?!
Love your music!!!!
So good you should be a celeb for real Im going crazy
Woo, trip to the past stylistically speaking. Love it so much, and it's quite successful in being motivational.
You guys came back strong.
I love this song now I Can't wait until the new album that you might be making in the near future.
Keep up the awesome work Gabe !
Such a wonderful song!
You two sound incredible!!!
Freakin amazing Gabe! :3
And good to know youre still alive xD
No views, 5 likes, and it says two comments, but I can't read them. I love being this early.
same
Wow! This song is GREAT!!
Holy crap, this sounds like something from Great Good Fine Ok! The style, the melody, the vocals, the way it moves.. I love this!
I wish you could do a collab with them.
How i not know this until now how i missed this...
YES! An amazing song that has a unique bass drop and is so relatable in this life. I swear, your vids are better than any of that reproduced radio crap. Now DDR stuff:
- Glad to hear you liked Thor: Ragnorok (I spelled that wrong I know), would love to see it myself but I am currently scheduled to sing for 2 BYU Men's Chorus concerts and 2 exams. College sucks.
- I hope being in DDR 2k17 (edit: wow I messed that up. Just Dance 2018) gets you some followers, even if the ad is cringey as all get out.
- Saw that epic landing on Twitter and love those vids. They are a breath of fresh air, but that "driveway" looked an awful lot like a road...
- I sadly will not attend EQLA but am striving for EFNW next year, if I can sell some of the stuff I have. You would think selling an 1883 1st edition American book eould be easy! But while I can't attend, crush Vincent and keep your streak going. You already destroyed Michelle in Nerf, now the next challenger approaches.
Me stuff?
- I recently have been getting more involved in the fandom and wrote a spoken word piece that I shared a clip of on Twitter. I would love your advice on it, you should already be tagged.
- Being in the BYU Men's Chorus has secured me a bit of pride that will last forever. 1, I got a pic with the lovely Kristin Chenoweth on the day after the MLP Movie released. 2, I am part of a worldwide music video going live Dec 1st for the LDS church.
Love your comments! Here are my responses:
- I spelled it wrong too, I had to google it.. XP
- Yeah, I should have said I landed "in front of my driveway" but shorter is always better (when it comes to captions at least...) ;-P
- I'd love to read your piece! When did you post it? I don't recall seeing it but twitter sometimes omits tags from my notifications. -_-
- AWESOME! It's great to be part of a group like that! Here's to many more awesome BYU Choir moments in the future!
Black Gryph0n
1. I'll try send the full thing to you again on Twitter with words.
2. Thank you for the kind words! I am always here relpying my DDR responses for every vid.
3. In response to the Twitter landing, I guess you can explain it better now with #280charcters. Sad that doesn't apply to video, still stuck with 140 seconds.
Black Gryph0n Alright, I published it and sent it your way. I'll send it to CreberBrown as well since I haven't seen a response yet. Twitter is annoying somethimes. However, it is on my YT too.
Excellent work Gabe! You are truly worthy of making a deal with a record label! Keep up the fantastic work!
PS I hope you got the snake out of your garage without getting hurt
PPS Congratulations on Beep Beep I'm a Sheep making it onto Just Dance 2018. Kinda cringy but I'm proud!
Wow! That's a huge compliment!
And I did, thank you! Filmed it on my SnapChat story. :-)
Ahhh, this is so awesome! You NEED to make an album, I love it!
So oooooo amazing!! 😍😍😍👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and Baasik 😘💕
Love this song!! I've been obsessed with it lately!
Holy shit
What a top of the charts song! Your voice is amazing, lyrics are original and the music is PHENOMINAL
So upbeat and catchy
wow, I really needed this song...
This is amazing! How do you not have millions more subs?!?! I subbed! I can't believe your not way more famous!
Gabe, I'm so in love with your voice. Currently it's helping me get through my coursework session at college. I know it's an old video/song but Keep up the great work. Much Love from your (newest) Patreon.
I love this song and it's already on my phone
I LOVE THIS ONE!😍 YOU ROCK!❤
AWESOME! 😸😹
