I really am a firm believer that music can alter anyone's
mood and way of thinking. So here's a few inspirations from artists I
like.
In the words of Bon Jovi:
- When
life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
(We Weren't Born to Follow) - When
The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground
(Have a Nice Day) - When
the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day
(Have a Nice Day) - She
says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
(Livin on a Prayer) - Whooah,
we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
(Livin' on a Prayer) - You
judge a man who don't stand in line
Just because he ain't on your side
You know the man who wears those shoes
If you cut me don't I bleed like you? You know I do
(Good Guys Don't Always Wear White) - I'll
never be what you want me to be
You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree
(Good Guys Don't Always Wear White) - I
ain't got no apology
Just because I don't look like you
Talk like you, think like you
(Good Guys Don't Always Wear White) - I
ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
(Its My Life) - Better
stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
(Its My Life) - Tomorrow's
getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
(Its My Life)
In the words of U2
- Early
morning, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
(Pride) - One
man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
(Pride) - In the
name of love
What more in the name of love
(Pride) - You
don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
(Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own) - Listen
to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
(Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own) - Tonight
we can be as one, tonight
(Sunday Bloody Sunday) - Walk
on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
(Walk On) - And if
the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for one second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
(Walk On)
In the words of Nightwish:
- Someday
I'll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
(Bye Bye Beautiful) - ...How
blind can you be, don't you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have..
(Bye Bye Beautiful) - Love's
strength standeth in love's sacrifice
(7 Days to the Wolves) - Take
the road less traveled by
Leave the city of fools
(7 Days to the Wolves) - Old
loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
(Wish I had an Angel) - Our
spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end
(Creek Mary's Blood - Translated into English) - Cherish
the moment
Tower the skies
Don't let the dreamer
fade to grey like grass
(Away)
Of course there are many others... These are just some that
hit me hardest. (Granted they also are some of the ones I listen to most)
