I don't mean lyrics that you love-there are too many of those. I mean lyrics which have meant something special to you, or have helped you through a tough time-inspired you. I have just gotten divorced. Not a particularly bad or nasty divorce, but a divorce all the same. I ca't tell you how much I am lifted by the lyrics of Shellfish:
...You must not be downhearted o'er things you've left undone. You've got faith to tell you all is well and you know you best not stop, there's still a ways to go.
...You will not be outsmarted by the song you left unsung. You've got faith to make your world take flight and there's still a ways to go, 'bout a thousand miles or so.
Just hearing them gives me strength and positive energy, a feeling that everything happens for a reason, and everything will be all right.
Anyone else have that sort of connection with a particular song?
