We Are the Normal

"We Are the Normal" is the third single by the Goo Goo Dolls, released on April 22, 1993 through Medal Blade Records. It is the only single released from their fourth studio album, Superstar Car Wash.

History
Like many of the early Goo Goo Dolls singles, "We Are the Normal" was released in a promotional format only.

Writing and composition
Paul Westerberg co-wrote the track, which is notable for its dynamic range, soft instrumental passages in which a mournful yet melodic viola is interwoven with acoustic guitars, electrified verses in which John Rzeznik's vocals are delivered with a twisted blend of urgency and apathy, and an anthemic chorus.
