- Camden’s passion for music led him to join the Marine Corps to play in the band. As a gay man in the military, he was welcomed by his fellow Marines with open arms, love and respect. His feel-good tale inspired this song and music video. Watch and share so others can be inspired by Camden too!
Five true fan stories. One visual EP. This is #PublicRecordEP
Earlier this year, we reached out to our fans, #UsTheFamily, asking you to share your true stories of love, loss, triumph, and hope. Of the hundreds of entries, we chose five stories to be transformed into songs for our new visual EP.

Thanks for all the support guys! I'm glad you like the song that Michael and Carissa created!
Much love,
Cam
It was a beautiful song :) Your story inspired me, I'm a bisexual, and I've been bullied and teased about it before. This video made me realize it is okay to be myself. Thank you
Camden Emery you are loved!
Thank you for your service!! ♥️♥️

I want to be best friends with all three of them
Meg Alyssa We want to be best friends with you :)
Jensen Emery Does that mean you guys will come dance to this song with me? Your boyfriend would have to come to!
Is there anywhere we can follow the band?
Meg Alyssa you can follow the Cherry Point band on Facebook at 2d Marine Aircraft Wing Band.
This one RUINED ME so hard. I just feel so much cathartic joy for this type of love and acceptance through this amazing song.
Right with you; thank you for putting it into words! It's about the love and acceptance. Heart warmed.

So many happy tears.

Alexis De La Cruz

saem tbh
Ideal Nahloo same
Ideal Nahloo SAME
lmao me as well
Ideal Nahloo Same
I never fit in
I get lost in the crowd
I wanna be cool but I can't quite figure it out
I like to tell jokes
Yet no one understands
I'm the best damn clarinet player in my high school band
I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly unique
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Cause I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
I hate doing laundry
But je parle Francais
I like to stay home, watching movies, eating sour patch kids
(That didn't rhyme, typical me)
I like to buy flowers
I even sing in the choir
Did I mention I play the clarinet and I'm open for hire?
I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly unique
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Cause I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
I'm not an extra, I'm not ordinary
I look in the mirror and it shows me I'm extraordinary
I'm one of the few,I fell in love with a marine
And we're the cutest couple that you've ever seen
That's my life, I did it mama
Since I was a kid I've always known where I belong
Just me, my hat, my clarinet, and him
This story has a happy ending
I can't be anything that I'm not cause I'm me
I'm a hottie with a body and a personality
I'm sassy with my clarinet
I'm rocking with the band
Cause I found someone who loves me so back off gentlemen
I'm me
(I'm me)
I'm me
That's all I know how to be
I'm me
"I'm one of the few, I fell in love with a Marine"
"I'm not an extra, i'm not ordinary
I look in the mirror and it shows me i'm EXTRAORDINARY"

Click Bait does it matter if he is or not
Joe Incavo I was just wondering because if you look at his you turn channel his playlists has like marry did you know so I was just wondering
I been playing / singing to this song for days on end.... I really love this song.
In my opinion, this is the best song on the EP!!!!!! It has a great beat and chord progression!!!!
I agree. But I may be a little biased :D
Saw the AD for this 3 years ago and loved it so much I'm still coming back to hear it again
I'd just like to give a shout out to Camden and say I'm going through and liking all his comments cause he is very inspirational.
Mia Heyward Your words are too kind Mia!
I love it! I'm 55 and still never feel safe being gay, and I've been wife my wife 25 years!!!
I went to a pentatonix concert and us the duo was the opener. They sang this song and it really stood out to me. I love this song.🤗😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I was trying to find this song for the past few days. Finally found it. Not normally my type of music but this is such a cute song I love it!
Katzl I'm very glad you found it again and that you enjoy it!
The best song of the album!
I love this so much I'm glad they are accepting marines to be marines cause at the end of the day they just wanna serve this great country like me and many others and I love it oorah
👍👍👍👍👍
This is one of my 7 year old daughter's absolute favorite songs! She sings it at the top of her lungs all the time! Love it :)
Heather Bergman I would absolutely LOVE to see a video of that!
again and again still in this song...
Her voice is beautiful! ❤️
This is adorable
US THE DUO LITERALLY DESERVES MORE LOVE i mean listen to this it's so beautiful:(
Us the Duo, I absolutely love what you've done with this project. You've connected with your fans in a way I haven't seen any other artist do. Thank you for being You.
And also thanks for producing these master pieces, I have already fallen for these new songs.
I just hear it now and fall inlove with this song :) I so love it :)
🥰No soy perfecta lo que soy es única SIENDO YO MISMA!!!🎤🎶 Ame esta canción 😍I LOVE THIS SONG AMAZING 👌
To Michael and Carissa,
I absolutely admire what you're doing by sharing the stories or others and the community! Your songs make me feel so happy and content. Keep doing what you do! Your songs are purely amazing full of passion and love.
Listened to 2 out of 5 songs so far and absolutely loving them
They're all just so good!
_I may not be perfect but I'm perfectly unique._
Well said Michael and Carissa! Stay strong!
I LOVE THIS EP. IT IS THE BEST THE IN THE WORLD. Thank you for sharing these stories, your music, and your wonderful talented-selves. I'm crying at how amazing all these songs are.
I feel so special that this song was sent to me! LOVE it....
One of my favorite songs by Us the Duo ❤️
*"* From the halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli.
We will fight our countries battle,
In the air, on land, or sea.
We will fight for right and freedom,
and to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title of,
The United State Marines. *"*
-The United States Marine Hymn
You guys embody this so well. Keep it up and keep protecting my butt because I'm to scared to do it myself (plus with the ammount of McDonalds I've eaten I'd never get into the military XD)
OORAH!!!
Gamer Newbz haha! We all try our best to get the mission accomplished!
I love the style of all their music.
I love us the duo, they are awesome and so cute together. I love the love that they have for each other.
I work at a grocery store and I hear the song multiple times in a week but I gotta say this song in our playlist makes working their bearable overall I love the feel of this song keep it up this song is so playful and yet relatable at the same time
Same story, grocery store employee here and work in the office, and this plays like clock work same time every morning, and it's one of the few times I make sure I turn the volume all the way up!
Hey! Camden here! I'm so glad this song brings joy in the work place :)
i love us the duo and the story behind it and all their songs omg her voice is amazing too
Encontré esta canción en el mejor momento. ¡¡Gracias!!🙂
Her voice is just 😍😍
We have came a long way. The military has changed even though a very few are hard to get out of their mindset. Blacks were not always treated fairly but we have had a black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs (Colin Powell) and Women were not much thought of outside of nurses and typing pools but now we have Admiral Michelle Howard who is the highest ranking female in the US. Our acceptance is slow but it happens and this is proof positive. Seven years ago this song never would have happened because being gay in the military was illegal. God Bless America.
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE RADIO ASAP
Amazing story of acceptance of one another. I wish this could be said everyday but we treat people with so much disrespect! Thanks Camden for sharing your story! I hope someone can take something away from this!
I like all the songs but i feel like this and saudade truly stands out
The more & more I listen to this song, it is definitely my favourite!!!!!!
i am obsessed with this song! i love it! thank you to camden for sharing your story and great job to US THE DUO for the song!
You need to be the best you you can be because no one else can. This song is totally perfect!
I'm crying. That project is so inspirational and beautiful. Amazing job! You can see your love to art, music and people!
this is literally my happy song. whenever I feel down I listen to this and instantly feel better. ❤
I swear this song relates to me, I play clarinet and I am in fact the best clarinet in my high school band. Anyway beautiful song and beautiful story
Great song. Listened to an entire ad for the first time ever.
Cute and happy. Love simple little songs like this!!
I might not be a homosexual clarinet playing marine, but I am a bisexual High School trombonist so I can empathize somewhat.
Love the message, and the fact that the Marines are so accepting (especially since we live in a nation full of homophobes), because there's no reason why they shouldn't. They all have a common goal to protect our country and that's all that should matter.
"...We will fight for *right* and *freedom*, and to keep our honor clean. We are proud to claim the title of, The United States Marines." *-Marine hymn*
Gamer Newbz I love our hymn. It's words are powerful!
Thanks for your support.
I’m a questioning (I know I’m not straight but I’m not sure where I am on the spectrum) and a disabled individual, so I get it too. Thank you Marines for being so accepting.
ONLY YALL COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. ABSOLUTELY LOVE
Wow this was probably the best ad I have seen in a while. This is one tasty jam

As a Young girl who struggles with clinical depression and anxiety I just want to thank you for inspiring people like me to keep going and that we are not alone. I find that what you are doing is absolutely beautiful and please continue! So proud of your hard work and spreading the love!
