I was just thinking about this today. Have any of you ever just heard a song that totally reflected how you felt at that point in time? I'm not talking about a really cool popular song or one with a matching video with lots of booty shaking, but just a song that completely embodied how happy, sad, angry, or depressed you were.
One song I can remember was "I stand alone" by Godsmack. When I first moved out on my own after graduating and getting a job, I was staying in this absolutely crappy apartment. Cockroaches would just swarm into the place at night no matter how much poison I used. Would up sleeping in my room and stuffing a towel under the door so they couldn't come in. In the mornings I would have to tiptoe around the dead ones and there'd always be a few live roaches in the bathroom and in my shoes.
It was a miserable 3 months I can say that. This is connected to the song how you might ask. Well, I had my now deceased XboX with me (killed at a young age by my incompetent sister who knows not how to take DVDs out after playing them and to unplug the damn game before closing shop for the day) and I was playing "Prince of Persia 2: The Warrior Within"
It was a great game and I played it to pass the daylight hours before retreating into my room as night fell. "I stand alone" was the theme song of that game and it wound up becoming the song that would represent those 3 months of my life. Listening to it now reminds me of those dark days..............
So go listen to "I stand alone" by Godsmack |
