Scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara So I have trouble not liking how I look even tho people tell me I have a great body . This song is about everyone being beautiful just the way they are so it helped me to be more confident in my body and how I look . I’m still not happy with some parts of my body but I learned to be ok with it
Okaaayyy soooo Selena Gomez- Who says Selena is like such an inspiration to me. She’s so humble and just perfect, but anyway. This song came to me when my mom last away, I was around 17 or 18. I felt guilty for her death being as two minutes before her heart attack she asked for us to listen to some Christian music and I decided to read a book instead. Not the point. I felt Low and just heavy to the ground constantly. Didn’t feel worthy for much st all. Until I play this song. I cry almost every time I hear it. Still go this day like who hurt you Selena I’m here lemme hug you. Listening to this song gave me hope. To continue forward and to let go of such an unnecessary burden. But yeah, if not this song I’m sure some song by daddy yankee lol
Back that AZZ up by juvenile, wheezy,and others People will often make fun of me but I was in a low point in my life after I was hit by a drunk driver, I took pride in my figure and after the accident I wasn’t looking the same, gained so much weight I was a blob, but then I heard this song and it motivated me to get my body back and back it up back into the game. So after 8 months of diet and exercise I am proud to say thanks to this song I’m backing and bouncing my competition outta here, #ThotLyfe #IsTheOnlyLyfe
Reflection by rapmonster. This song is one that I got into only a few years ago but it really resonates with me. Like it’s talking about not loving oneself, it talking about how everyone isn’t the same. It’s a song that’s made me cry countless times just knowing that one of my favorite artists is just like me. It showed me that even though we feel along and like no one will understand what we’re going through. that we aren’t alone, that we may not be around each other but we are still there for one another. This song showed me that I’m not alone. It’s deeply touched me and I will forever love this song and artist.
Ok so it’s Greek Tragedy by Wombats. The music, the lyrics, the mood of the song reflected me as I was then (studying literature, not feeling quite good about myself) and me as I was soon going to become (studying literature, participating in a bunch of extracurriculars, making tons of new friends, starting to feel better about myself). I’ve been listening to it frequently after that first time that I discovered it and it is just my song. (also bonus, a recent my song happens to be Bandito by TØP, yes I go for these types)
“Sadness and Sorrow” (Naruto fams ya? Somebody? ?)and i think i said all? Dont know who came up with this but bless him?. No lyrics needed for this, feels only kty. Sad? Heartbreak? Childhood? Etc? Listen this ? ik its not a real song, just a soundtrack but yea, is deep af. When i need to cry and let all the bullshit out i listen this, kbye?
A song that has the biggest impact on my life would be “Please Dont Go” by Brown Boy. Until my mid-teens, I barely saw my dad. He was deployed pretty much all my childhood. This song actually came out when my dad was deployed the second time. My mom would play it over and over while he was away, and the “please dont go away” that plays in the chorus is the most memorable part. Although the impact it had on my life is a pretty somber one, basically us begging my dad not to go into war- the song also gave us hope. It gave us hope that we would see him again, so we could do the same begging to his face. Luckily now he is retired so we wont have to worry about it anymore.
The Strumbellas! Salvation! Found this masterpiece while depressed and it was the most uplifting song in the world! Add me for tax advice!
Two weeks in Hawaii - HelloGoodbye Such an awesome band I just adored growing up and the whole song is basically about missing a loved one when they’re off on holiday. It reminds me of being young and having a boyfriend that used to visit his family abroad a lot. The song has always stuck with me and fast forward 10 years i was still playing it after flying home for Christmas in the middle of my year abroad and missing a different boyfriend. I still miss him now Take me back to Miami!
Courage - Superchick A beloved friend sent me this song with a long text saying I was important and she cared about me, she knew i was going through difficult times, struggling with eating disorders, and when I listened the song I felt so identified with the lyrics, about the loneliness and struggle to hide my world of lies, and the principal message I took from that song was the part when says: "You should know you're not on your own, these secrets are walls that keep us alone, I dont know when, but I know now together we'll make it through somehow" and that made me cry like a baby I invited my friend to my house and we talked for hours, I opened my heart to her and told all what was going on in my head. After that experience I started to recover, talked with my family and asked for help. I can't say I'm fully okay but I'm still fighting and I know I'll be okay with the time and effort. ?
RunawayTrain by Soul Asylum... Always reminded me when life got hard for you... someone else had it was worse. I remember abad time in my life laying there listening to it and it was saying "wrong way on a one way track.. Feels like I should be getting somewhere but somehow in neither here nor there". Being as I was feeling that ten fold I took it as an opportunity to say I'm not going to let it be like this anymore and I fixed the crap I was to afraid to face before. Now I'm happy and engaged and all because a song I laid down and listened to over and over again.. Also Jessie J's masterpiece now a days that reminds me I'm still not perfect but F it I don't care I'm happy and I'm me.
There is a song called Dear Younger Me by Mercy Me. I listen fo this song at least once everyday so i remember what its meaning is to me. The song is about what would you write to your younger self. Would you warn yourself about the sad things in your future? Would you tell yourself about the things not to do in the future so you don't make a mistake that you will regret? Would you give yourself advice on how to handle a situation that you will have in the future? Would you tell yourself about decisions that will be tough and what to do? This song helps me remember to do things that I won't regret. It reminds me to not do the wrong thing, where I wouldn't want to write to my younger self. To make sure that i don't say or do anything that will make me want to change my past, to change who I am today. To be happy with what i choose and known its right, to focus on the happy things in the future. To not dwell and regret what my past is. This song helps me to remember to do the right thing so i don't regret and dwell on my mistakes. Thank you for this raffle, you helped me remember how much this song means to me. ? Good luck to all the participants, and God bless you all. ??
Lil Windex - Cleaning it up. Chose this song because I was a dirty boy, but now I'm cleaning it all up
A drop in the ocean by Ron Pope- it's gotten me through a lot me and my older sister used to listen to it. It's coming up this May that she's been gone for 7 years. Song still makes me cry.
Heaven by Los Lonely Boys It’s song I started off listening to with my mom. I can remember listening to it on long road trips to New Mexico, jamming to it while making tortillas in the kitchen , getting exited when it just happens to play over the radio. It’s the first song I ever learned the lyrics to. Its a song that has a lot of good memories connected to it and it always seems to play just when I need to hear it. So yeah I’d say it’s had a pretty good impact on my life.
Everything is New- Jaimie Wilson **if u dislike gay stuff plz move along ty babes** So Jaimie is trans singer/songwriter/model/influencer and is absolutely AMAZING. His song Everything is New is a song he wrote and recorded before he started his transition, so he then went in and recorded later after his transition and layered the two together into one track so it sounds like a duet. First of all, it’s dope. Secondly, the man can lay out some lyrics I highly suggest everyone listen to it it makes me so happy every time I hear it. So the reason why I love this so much is, being a trans man myself, people like to talk about how cute their trans friend is or how adorable or what not but we never actually delve into the deeper stuff, we just ignore it. Jaimie is one of the few people who try to really show how much of a struggle it is to be trans even in this society. This is honestly hard for me to write because there’s just so much I want to say but I’m tryna keep this relatively short and honestly I don’t even care if I win just PLEASE go check out the song Spotify or Apple Music, or check his insta out @tboy61915 this man is such a damn inspiration to me and has been for so long and just ugh. Okay I’m done, thank you for listening. Please peep the song I cried the first like 20 times I heard it it’s so good ughhhhhhhhhhhh okay I’m done.
