Songs that helped get you through a tough time
« on: November 07, 2013, 05:20:49 PM »
Not going through any troubled times personally friends.  But I heard recently and have been listening to it a more than a few times.

I first heard it while my dad was sick with Lou Gherig's and it really helped me through that time.  My dad was pretty much a stiff upper lip kind of guy so it helped me understand his philosophy a bit.  I always think of him when I hear it and it makes me really proud of how he handled himself. 

I mean it takes a certain kind of person to know that you are Ahab, fighting your whale, but to still forge ahead.

I've come down with something
I'm frozen, tied up, cast in lead
It's simple, so says the captain
Face forward, move slow, forge ahead

I'm earning a reputation
My conscience, mistrust and regret
Courageous, just like the captain
Marching forward with no doubt in his head

Onward

What are some songs that got you through some tough times goEMAW and real life friends?

8mp showed me this one.

Not exactly uplifting, but it says that death is eventual and certain so be sure to party while you're here.

I remember finding out that Blind Melon had awesome songs not named "No Rain". It was a revelatory experience.

Blind Melon is one of the greatest bands in the history of bands, and "Change" is a very uplifting song. Props to you guys for mentioning.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

It's easy to forget how good they really were.  Poor Hoon.  Poor us.
