I remember when Autobiography first came out, I'd listen to it over and over again. Daydream while listening to her music. I really looked up to Ashlee Simpson. Her music was a huge part of my teenage years, she helped me get through a lot.
@@jessicalaurita8293 she wrote about it in her book. She didn’t name names but her family would go stay at a close family friends house every year and the girl would molest Jessica. She used to sleep closest to her so she wouldn’t touch Ashlee.
The entire album is underrated! I don't care about the controversy surrounding the SNL incident that ruined her career for the mental torment they put her through for that, she was just a kid! She had a really good, raspy voice that I love. This song was my anthem album for so long and she was so pretty! I miss her music. I wish she would come out with new music. She was my style icon as well. This album give me nostalgia and I love it.
the snl should been more of a wake up call that all televised performances are taped ahead of time. a lot of time and money goes into a show. having it pre recorded is just another way to make sure things go smoothly.
Who's listening this during quarantine??? Omg ashlee was so popular back then! Her mtv show and her cds lol i went to her concert when i was a kid! Lol i miss those years!!! 00s music is everything!
"Father, sister, mother everything is cool now." Can you imagine feeling this way for so long and creating a whole song about it? Then imagine your family hearing it for the first time and they are hearing this frustration and hurt for the first time.
so um why the fuck does anyone care if she doesnt sing all the time!! gosh everyone is like oh she doesnt sing. to lip sync means to have something to mimick... soo who is she mimicking.... herself!!!?? so shes lip syncing to her own voice?? how is that wrong? its her voice for gosh..
But see, the thing is, thats not even really her voice cause she flat out has no talent. So, the people in the studio fix it with autotune and whatever else they can use. So no. She isnt even mimicking herself. She is mimicking what she wishes she could be. You hear her real voice when she actually tries to sing live and thats when she gets booed off the stage. Seriously. Look up her halftime show (i think it was for the orange bowl. idk it was some football game.) Honestly, even after they autotune her horrible voice, it still sounds like crap in my opinion. But to each their own.
whts wrong with her being who she wants to be music is about expression some do it by instruments alone others use their voices. i understand why some have trouble with people who arent naturally or originally talented. i understand the whole i work hard to sound good naturally so she shouldnt get easy money by playing the puppet. but she's living out her dream isnt she. she cant sing (dont know if thts true but whtev) but wants to. wht is she suppose to do... give up?? regardless the song that is composed and is sung by her "inner" artist or lip sync by her is very good. plus if i start laying down a foundation and later on people build the rest of the house it doesnt mean i had no hand in the finishing product right. look i dont like seeing people work and get ridicule by it. theres always someone who will work harder then you and they will deserve more. but any effort to work on should be acknowledge. voice or no voice she has a song and she was a part of it either way so its hers and she can sing it however she'd like.
Ashlee had such a unique and beautiful voice, I never thought her sister Jessica could sing, it was more her looks everyone focused on. Ashlee's songs had meaning that alot of people could relate to and they were soo much better. It makes me happy to see her now living her best married life she deserves it 💗 💕
but yet ten years ago people were saying that generations music suck. nd that tens years before that was the true pop music. really depends what generation you're in.. just like in ten years people will say today's music was the best
Ashlee Simpson is sincerely so talented, & her amazing raspy voice is so beautiful. She needs to get back into music & release an album today please. Her voice is amazing. So talented. We need more of her. Ashlee would dominate the music industry. She’s so good. Great times. 💚
This song is so underrated. This album isn’t perfect but there some really great songs on it. I know Ashlee Simpson is like the poster child for “talentless lip syncing rich pop star” but there are honestly some wonderful songs on this and her other album, so don’t let her appearance keep you from listening to her music. She’s better than most people think.
Sad thing is, she wasn't even lip syncing. She was singing along to a track being played low. it's very common for professional singers to sing along with a track while on T.V and even live. It's pretty much standard for T.V actually. But people in the industry didn't stick up for her. I think, now, more people know artist do this but back then people didn't. I only knew because I knew a professional sound man who told me. He felt bad for her. It's so sad that between this and people thinking she was trying to ride off her sister's career, alot of people never gave her a chance. Even mocked and booed her. She worked so hard on that first album and trying to prove she wasn't just Jessica's sister. It had to feel so unfair to have people miss judge her. Especially, at such a young age, when you're trying to find yourself.
No matter what you think of Ashlee Simpson - this song is very, very well-written. Catchy, but the harmonies are more complex than most pop-rock songs from that era. I still can't believe that this song was recorded with real strings, while "November Rain" had synthie strings, programmed by Axl Rose...
This song and Autobiography are beyond relatable- both for various reasons. People who don't know me make assumptions based on what a person who hates me (my mom and those she's manipulated over the years) says. Instead of asking for my side of things people have taken her word. There's more than what lays on the surface Just ask me. I felt like my brother (only boy) was put on a pedestal. I lived a life where I was always below and very few people believed in me. I was considering enlisting in the military out of high school. My family was supportive. My brother was seriously considering enlisting. My family freaked out because they "didn't want him to go overseas and get his head blown off or seriously injured". I'm the oldest. 🤷♀️
I love this song! I can relate. My sister is 2 years older than me and my whole life I felt so shitty compared to her. All through my teen years and 20's. She was pretty, popular, outgoing and I wasnt. I was quiet and introverted and I literally let it dictate my whole life and how I interacted with everyone around me and how I saw myself. It fuckin sucked. Only in my 30's have I gotten passed it. That adolescent shit stays with you for a long time. 🥺
this album got me thru the worst part of my life. I had come and just listen. its been years and these tears are so worth it! thankyou! I MADE IT!!! DONT FEEL SORY FOR ME!
Omg I love this song! I haven’t heard this song this high school! 😭 My adolescence years. I preferred listen to Ashlee over Jessica. Her songs are so relatable. Rock on Ash!
I fucking LOVE Ashlee Simpson. she was always 100X more interesting than her sister Jessica. Im a big fan I love her voice too. I hope she comes back with more stuff like this and her voice stays in a rock tone.
yeah, her career took a dive when she was lip singing in a concert, but honestly, I was loving her music alot. I don't care if she could not sing on stage
honestly I always liked them both for different reasons, they'll always have my kid heart. Jessica had a beautiful voice and Ashlee had style and energy I liked
Ashlee Simpson, is so talented! It was sad to see it seemingly fall apart because of the SNL incident! I had all of her albums, met her in person a couple of times for signings and been to her concert and I think she had something very special. I can't believe it has been 20 years since this album dropped, time flies, and honestly I liked every song on the album it is rare to find that.
Pieces of me, Shadow, LaLa, Love makes the world go round, Better Off, Surrender, Nothing New, Giving it all away, Undiscovered and Endless Summer are my favourites from the Autobiography album.
When I was in elementary school, like maybe 5th grade... like 2005, I was really into her and my family made fun of me for it. I mean, every time I revist these songs and the album I realize I still like these songs. I mean, they were good songs!!! I think Ashlee could have been a bigger influence in music today if that whole SNL thing didn't happen. People are always quick to tear someone down when they make a reasonably minor mistake. I still love this album. You do you, Ashlee.
When I was a kid, I never noticed the strange sort of over-the-top chaotic energy in these rock/pop videos. It seems artists take their selves so seriously now, and they don't have the same enthusiasm. I know it's not just nostalgia. I miss the early 2000s so much. 😢
Gotta admit, I really miss this dark-haired rocker girl look she had. She’ll always look and sound good, there’s no changing that, but this look was just perfect for her.
I was six years old When my parents went away I was stuck inside a broken life I couldn't wish away She was beautiful She had everything and more And my escape was hiding out and running for the door Somebody listen please It used to be so hard being me Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake My chains are finally free Don't feel sorry for me All the days collided One less perfect than the next I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity So if you're listening There's so much more to me you haven't seen Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake Then I can finally see Don't feel sorry for me- Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Oh, my life is good I've got more than anyone should Oh, my life is good And the past is in the past I was living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me I'm living in a new day I'm living it for me And now that I am wide awake Then I can finally see So don't feel sorry for me Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me Living in, living in, living in the shadow Living in, living in, living in a new day
Both Ashlee and Jessica are gorgeous Ashlee looks like her Mom and Jessica looks like her Dad, different features but still similar! That was one gorgeous family!!
It sucks that people hate on Ashlee Simpson because here's the thing...whether she CAN or CAN'T actually sing, she was performing good music. She left and her music stop being produced and now we all lose.
OMG! I was singing this song before, when I was kid not knowing that this is the title and she's the singer of this song. Just found a CD inside our house and doesn't have it's plastic box. Of course, internet was not our usual thing before. Happy I've found it and finally see the music video.
She's the epitome of that "cool chick" every one of us guys grew up with. She wasn't the most popular, didn't care about that either. Not a girl that liked to "be put in a box". I always felt that was who I was too. ;)
I was the youngest in my family. Everyone says the youngest is spoiled but what they dont mention is that the youngest's milestones are glossed over. Its exciting when the first kid gets their first kiss, license, graduates, gets their first job, etc. By the third kid its just like run of the mill and less celebrated so when i hit my firsts they were happy for me but my sister's milestones were always got all the initial excitement. I graduated high school the same year that my sister graduated college and they decided to combine our grad parties. Relatives congratulated me but everyone was obviously more excited for my sister. I spent my grad party in my room angrily blasting this song. Lol no one cared obviously but this song still brings back all that angst.
Lyrics by My amor I was six years old When my parents went away I was stuck inside a broken life I couldn't wish away She was beautiful She had everything and more And my escape was hiding out and running for the door Somebody listen please It used to be so hard being me Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake My chains are finally free Don't feel sorry for me All the days collided One less perfect than the next I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity So if you're listening There's so much more to me you haven't seen Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake Then I can finally see Don't feel sorry for me Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Oh, my life is good I've got more than anyone should Oh, my life is good And the past is in the past I was living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me I'm living in a new day I'm living it for me And now that I am wide awake Then I can finally be So don't feel sorry for me Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me Living in, living in, living in the shadow Living in, living in, living in a new day

SAME HERE
Same.
same from MÉXICO
Delaney * that. Album was the shit
I remember reading that when Jessica heard this, she burst into tears and told Ashlee "I'm so so sorry"
.. and the past is in the past... 🎶🎵🎶🎶
And to think Ashlee really shouldn’t have bitched about her sister. Jessica literally got molested so Ashlee wouldn’t get it

She has come out with new music look her up some of it country music it's good to
yes... her álbum Autobiography was amazing I love it too... and this song is still in my head
She kept releasing music she went back to SNL she went on a super successful tour after that lmao nothing ruined her career
@@rogerzambranomusicthat’s a relief! I felt bad for her with the SNL incident

Holy shit
tell me about it.
Damn, this whole album was so good. I used to play "Undiscovered" over and over..
Eddie G me too
Eddie G autobiography and shadow were my favorite songs off the album
Same!!!!! I even went to go see the movie she’s in called undiscovered because I loved that song so much lol
Eddie G it really is
I love Undiscovered, Shadow, Ay Ya Ya (Outta My Head), & Better Off!

Aw man i remember this used to be one of my favorite CD's. Makes me teary eyed. Wish she had made more music like this. I loveddd this album.
she was so beautiful with this look, black hair, big nose and green eyes.
Originality
She looks better with fixed nose. Outta my head is her peak beauty
big nose :)
I agree 100%. So beautiful naturally
@@CherieTalksTunes nope better with plastic surgery
I never knew how powerful this song is until now! Ashlee is amazing!!! Why can't she make more music?
ikr
ikr
She doesn't sell enough
She does
"Father, sister, mother everything is cool now." Can you imagine feeling this way for so long and creating a whole song about it? Then imagine your family hearing it for the first time and they are hearing this frustration and hurt for the first time.
The nostalgia is real! I miss her making music
Tamara Knight me to
She has a new song now with her husband ♡
😢😢
Ashlee Simpson tore up two decades ago. This song proved she was no longer in anyone's shadow. She was truly talented!
Oh Ashlee, you understood my middle-child tween pain.
literally! !!
right.u did for sure
so um why the fuck does anyone care if she doesnt sing all the time!! gosh everyone is like oh she doesnt sing. to lip sync means to have something to mimick... soo who is she mimicking.... herself!!!?? so shes lip syncing to her own voice?? how is that wrong? its her voice for gosh..

I always liked Ashlee so much better. She had more of a genuine personality and I always thought she could sing so much better!
about 10 years ago we had the best pop songs on the radios. today...i dont even turn the radio on bc i know i'll regret. Good old days.
but yet ten years ago people were saying that generations music suck. nd that tens years before that was the true pop music. really depends what generation you're in.. just like in ten years people will say today's music was the best
anitoee that's true. I have to admit that. But in 10 years ppl will still say that the 70's and 80's were the best. =)
yea thats also true =]
Vivica Moore today's songs sound the same, this was great and it's part of my teenage time.
That's not true. We like new things. (At least I do) Almost as much as we like old stuff.
Ashlee Simpson is sincerely so talented, & her amazing raspy voice is so beautiful. She needs to get back into music & release an album today please. Her voice is amazing. So talented. We need more of her. Ashlee would dominate the music industry. She’s so good. Great times. 💚

@@swankelly lol I was reading your comment as she was singing "don't feel sorry for me" over and over
100% agree.
The album is perfect tho
I bought her album when I was 16. Her album still amazing and I still playing it at work. Ashlee please do some music like this again!!
This song is so deep and powerful. Such like a letter to myself. I always love you, Ashlee.
I know how she feels. My parents put my sister in the spotlight all the time. It scars you in a way but makes you so much stronger!
No matter what you think of Ashlee Simpson - this song is very, very well-written. Catchy, but the harmonies are more complex than most pop-rock songs from that era.
I still can't believe that this song was recorded with real strings, while "November Rain" had synthie strings, programmed by Axl Rose...
That's kinda mindblowing to know! Respect to The Simpson Sisters then
You are amazing and dearly missed Ashley
shes still alive lol
i miss her so much anyone with me?
Me too!!! Omg she was my favorite singer growing up. Lol next to Avril Lavigne.
+izzyrealcollins2 we can be best friends Ashlee and Avril was my life growing up
did she die
This is when she was beautiful!
Me too I loved her!
I used to cry with this song!! I love Ashlee Simpson. Autobiography helped me a lot in my team years. thank you
She is sooooo talented, a lot of good songs, where is she now? so bad :( i miss her music
Currently pregnant with diana ross's grand daughter!
so talented? :D
this was my first concert when i was like 13 or 14. im 30 now. so whatever that math is lol. i fucking LOVE her. on some real shit
Omg the nostalgia :(
yesssss. I'm in a horrible mood so I decided to listen to songs I haven't listened to in years.
+Jenna Eftink Would you please share those songs? I'm on a nostalgia tour as well
yeah ..x:
I'm so impressed Ashlee wrote this as a late teen. The lyrics are amazing 👏😳😱🙏 #FavoriteAshleeSSong
Happy Valentines Day Ashlee Simpson, we love you
I remember that I listen Autobiography CD everyday back then. I love that album!!! And im gonna listen to it again now
This song is so intense, the lyrics so profound, some parts of it just hit so hard; I just love it, I really enjoy listening to this song.

SAME! 😮
Ashlee is such an underrated singer, she deserves better than that
i love this album so much, especially her hair and style here too! :)
Back when music was actually real music and even the most underrated artist was able to touch people’s feelings.
Man, this album was awesome :D
this album got me thru the worst part of my life. I had come and just listen. its been years and these tears are so worth it! thankyou! I MADE IT!!! DONT FEEL SORY FOR ME!
Listening to this when I was 16 and now I’m 34 and always felt I knew Ashlee more than Jessica. She’s on another level 🔥🔥🔥
This was a wonderful album!
Ashlee Simpson was 2004. All of her songs on this album!!❤ I miss 2004 so much.😢
I really wish the SNL thing hadn’t happened. I loved her so much back then. And her album was really good.
this music video of Ashlee Simpson was sickly good.
thanks me for liking my own comment.😄
Ashlee was the reason I started dyeing my hair jet black when I was 14/15 and I’ve been dyeing it every since 🥰 I’m 30 now hehe
Qual a cor original do seu cabelo?
(Hair)
This song randomly came to mind. Love it!
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was a teenager ;) Oh the memories! :)
this was a good album. i miss the early 2000s up to 2009. awesome times. Michelle Branch, Ashlee, Avril, Matchbox Twenty, etc...
Wow Iove all of them!!! So don't you forget shania twain with 'I'm gonna getcha good'
Omg I love this song! I haven’t heard this song this high school! 😭
My adolescence years. I preferred listen to Ashlee over Jessica. Her songs are so relatable. Rock on Ash!
back when Mtv was still cool.....
Amen
Lol, Mtv stopped being cool in 1999.
demoskunk
Agree! I say when TRL came that's when everything went downhill. That was around 1998.
Yeah! Now just shit
It sucked then. It stopped being cool once reality shows became a thing. Real World in 1990

i love ashlee's voice it's so unique! and i was listening to this on iHeart radio

Love both Ashlee and Avril as well 💜🎸💯😍😍
Awww, this was our first concert with my lil sister ♥
Her music got me through a lot of tough times.
This is her best album ever
How great was this album??? Every single song. You don't see that very often anymore.
Gosh I remember when Jessica Simpson was blind and listened to this song for Ashlee’s first performance in Ashlee’s reality show.
I remember it too. Jessica was just having eye surgery
@@uqonsoul it's on youtube
Pieces of me, Shadow, LaLa, Love makes the world go round, Better Off, Surrender, Nothing New, Giving it all away, Undiscovered and Endless Summer are my favourites from the Autobiography album.
I remember being 14 or 15 putting this shit on repeat and crying my eyes out lol 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
I had the same at 13,17,layter,14-15 felt good and looked also
it's 2015 and i'm still listening to this song
+Anis Lydia 2O16 ;)
2017!!!!!
Esperanza Zertuche
I can tell that in all her music videos, she does not lip- sync at all, she's really singing
Didn't understand this song when i was younger but now i know, basically she was the black sheep of the family, she was always a beautiful girl
When I was in elementary school, like maybe 5th grade... like 2005, I was really into her and my family made fun of me for it. I mean, every time I revist these songs and the album I realize I still like these songs. I mean, they were good songs!!!

The best song next to Pieces of Me in 2004. I get goosebumps listening to this.❤
This is my favorite song by Ashlee
When I was a kid, I never noticed the strange sort of over-the-top chaotic energy in these rock/pop videos. It seems artists take their selves so seriously now, and they don't have the same enthusiasm. I know it's not just nostalgia. I miss the early 2000s so much. 😢
Awww this song bring back memories lol i remember watching her reality show on MTV and i loved her album. Damn its been 10 years o_o
My favorite Ashlee song!! This song still rocks in 2018!!
Stanley Schmidt It's 2AM and I can't believe that I've totally forgot about this song, it was my jam back in 2004 days.
Se la extraña en la música, que vuelva!!!
Meu Deus, já se passaram 16 anos!! Eu amava tudo na Ashlee, uma das minhas cantoras favoritas. Eu escutava esse álbum o dia TODO. Q saudade, véi
I really really really want Ashley Simpson to make a comeback! It's not too late!
Gotta admit, I really miss this dark-haired rocker girl look she had. She’ll always look and sound good, there’s no changing that, but this look was just perfect for her.
Agree should've never went blonde
One of my all-time favourite songs!
Most underrated artist ever!!
Loved her first two albums and played the hell out of them
shes underrated. i miss her.
BEAUTIFUL ASHLEE SIMPSON , I'M LOVE HER SONGS...
ASHLEE SIMPSON!!!.MI PRIMER ICONO DEL ROCK!!!.ADELANTE!!!.
This is such a damn good song.
Aren't you right about that..
I really wish she'd make more music. ❤
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me-
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
So don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
thanks Shhh shhhfor writing these lyrics down here.
Omg.,I wish you come back Ashlee Simpson😭💝I love you so much😍😍😍😘😘😘
Both Ashlee and Jessica are gorgeous Ashlee looks like her Mom and Jessica looks like her Dad, different features but still similar! That was one gorgeous family!!
😭😭😭this song still hits me hard. forever invisible
I wish she'd make music again, she is such a good singer + her songs are really relatable.
OMG. I used to think that she was sooo pretty! Wanted to look just like her! Bahaha. So 2000's style.
Girl we all still wanna look like this lol
I dyed my hair black bc of her lol
It sucks that people hate on Ashlee Simpson because here's the thing...whether she CAN or CAN'T actually sing, she was performing good music. She left and her music stop being produced and now we all lose.
OMG! I was singing this song before, when I was kid not knowing that this is the title and she's the singer of this song. Just found a CD inside our house and doesn't have it's plastic box. Of course, internet was not our usual thing before. Happy I've found it and finally see the music video.
She’s stunning and such a nice person
Ashlee has always been a Crackhead.
She's the epitome of that "cool chick" every one of us guys grew up with. She wasn't the most popular, didn't care about that either. Not a girl that liked to "be put in a box". I always felt that was who I was too. ;)
Wow 10 years since this! Everything in music is so different.
I was the youngest in my family. Everyone says the youngest is spoiled but what they dont mention is that the youngest's milestones are glossed over. Its exciting when the first kid gets their first kiss, license, graduates, gets their first job, etc. By the third kid its just like run of the mill and less celebrated so when i hit my firsts they were happy for me but my sister's milestones were always got all the initial excitement. I graduated high school the same year that my sister graduated college and they decided to combine our grad parties. Relatives congratulated me but everyone was obviously more excited for my sister. I spent my grad party in my room angrily blasting this song. Lol no one cared obviously but this song still brings back all that angst.
Ashlee, I love your music a lot. And I love this song by you. And now that I hear this song by you, I really enjoy it, you go, girl!
Yo tenía 13 años cuando salio este album y ver el video me hace recordar lo feliz que era, con mis converse, el primer perfume de Paris Hilton jaja
When I was graduating high school. Damn things were so much easier back then.
Relatable. 🤦🏼♀️ I'm the rebel of my family and my older sis is the opposite of me. 💁🏼♀️
listening to all her old songs , i reallllyy love these songs! i gotta re-download !!

And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally be
So don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
