    Earmarked as one of Australia’s most notable up and coming artists, @sheldriley's style of music has been described as ‘dark pop’ with a cinematic and passionate expression. Known for strong visuals almost as much as great music, Sheldon has received acclaim for a clear ability to forge a unique sound and style.

    I can so relate to this. As a kid, I “find it hard to talk and speak my mind”. I was never diagnosed, because my parents thought it was a shame for the whole family to have a disturbed child. I was also bullied at school and my parents said it was my fault because I was weird. They told me to stop being weird, then people will like me. Now I’m 35 and I still have communication issues. I just wish for all of us “not the same” to be happy as wee are

      @@blueskinblonde7230 no life is worthless. There is a lot people with autism but not always it is as visible. Many people think that autism is horrible health issue that make you unable to prosper in life, while in reality there is wide range of problems related to autism and some of them easy allow to life normally. You will never know if you have it or not unless you go visit specialist, but don't doubt yourself. Being yourself is most beautiful thing, never give it up. If people say things like you mentioned to you, then they don't really try to understand you and your problems. Them being not understanding doesn't mean you are wrong, that only prove that they have issues with noticing that you have problem and need help. If you can, try to contact specialist, while it may cost some, they are educated to help people with problems, and while people around you might doubt you, they will should never doubt specialist, and they should understand how wrong they were. Remember to be yourself, never give up and look forward. While life may suck at some points, there will always be time when everything change and life will be amazing. Just remember who you are :)

    This song literally made me cry. I can relate to it on so many levels. When I was young i had so many problems with communicating and accepting myself. I was trying to blend with everyone trying to be like everyone else, forgetting who i really am. I have so many scars that will never be fully healed inside of me from time when i was not accepting myself. I never had anyone that i could talk about my problems and my own mind was my hell. Only when i was 23(27 now) i met my current fiance. She was reason why my bleeding wounds started to heal. She was first person that made me accept myself 100%. I will never be the same as when i started loosing my own self, but at least i accepted who I really am now. To everyone that struggle being yourself, remember to never lost who you really are under the society pressure, you are who you are and that's beautiful. Don't fear to tell someone that you are suffering inside, as hard as it is, it will make you feel at least a bit better. Even if life kick you even when you lie, it will get better, just never give up on yourself and fight for what you believe in and for yourself.

I was very shocked that it was ranked so low and especially that it only had 2 votes from viewers!

    The most amazing Part is the end. As a singer, let me tell you _real_ emotion and singing don't actually go together well. Real emotion constricts your throat, makes you seize up, all the things you can't do while singing. So as a singer you have to balance the whole time between actual emotion and the Control needed for such an amazing voice to come out. You can see him at the end pulling himself together before he starts singing again, because frankly, there is no singing when you're in that state. The fact that he managed to get back from it this fast is amazing.

    I just now heard this for the first time and I can relate to the lyrics so much. I was a quiet kid and was always made fun of. Was diagnosed with depression at just 7 years old after experiencing a traumatic loss in my family. The first of 2 in as many years. I was never “the same” as anyone else, and was always the odd person out. This song captures just how it feels to be “othered” by peers, and how much of a profound impact it can have on your entire life.

    Goosebumps, tears, the RAW emotion in his voice. I connect with this song more I have than with any song I have ever listened to. This is my #1. I cried during the national finals and it doesn't matter how many times I've listened to it, it still hits me every time. His live vocals are unbelievable and, dare i say, amazingly better than the studio version, how many vocalists/artists can I say that about? not many. His voice is just incredible......I just.....I can't even fault it even if tried. Well done Sheldon on creating a true MASTERPIECE. Can't wait to see this on the Eurovision stage in Turin. ❤

I hope Sheldon wins, he's my favourite by far.

    Here's the lyrics if anyone wants it:
    I was told at six years old
    They'd avoid me if my heart was cold
    Found it hard to talk and speak my mind
    They never liked the things that I would like
    Cause you're told to play but you're not the same
    As the other kids playing the same games
    Try to jump on in but they push away
    So far away...
    I'm not the same, no
    I'm not the same, no
    Years went by I tried and tried
    My father asked me if today I smiled
    I said - "yes, I did" - but that's a lie
    Oh, I always tell those lies
    Then you run and hide, hide the break inside
    Till you realize that the light shines bright
    Through those, oh, who've broke inside
    I'm not the same, no
    I'm not the same, no
    I'm not the same, no
    I'm not the same, no
    Cause you never want to be the kind of person
    Who can't work it for those ones who can not word it
    Cause you've been the kind of person who felt this pain
    Oh, yeah, I felt this pain
    So you go and leave the pain and find another way
    To make yourself another game, maybe one for all to play
    Because it's not just me who's not the same, we're not the same
    We're not the same, no...
    We're not the same, no...
    We're not the same, no!
    We're not the same, no!
