What's a song that you just connect to personally? Maybe it's associated with something you went through, maybe it describes a season of your life, or maybe it describes your philosophy and outlook on life. Music is beautiful and special, it's a wonderful way of expressing ourselves.
 

This song for me was significant during the time where I had just lost my stepdad, now almost a decade ago. It was my anthem for a time, a bittersweet reminder that even though I had gone to hell and back in the span of a few years I still had my whole life ahead of me and it would get better.


This one for me described for so long, my relationship with my mother. Having spent my teen years being emotionally and verbally abused in a dysfunctional family.
 
The voice/lyrics tell a very deep story.... I get the chills every time.

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
 
Not able to find the artist I wanted but you can't beat Sam Cooke. farther Along we will understand it.:hands: It is sung at all my family funerals and will be sung at mine.
