I really like this song, Destined For Glory, mostly for the chorus, where it says "Fight with your heart and you're destined for glory, but fight without honor you're destined to fall." I try to work toward my goals with everything at my disposal, while helping others and maintaining friendships along the way. I also chose the song, because it has some nice guitar work in there.
I think this song describes my family's moving about pretty well. Ever since I was born, I don't think we've ever lived anywhere for more than 3 years. Then when I was ten, my dad joined the navy, and we started moving to different states, not just down the street, or across town. I've had to make friends in so many different places, and with so many different kinds of people, I just think this song does a pretty good job of expressing that.
I've liked this song for a really long time, mostly because of the rhythm and the cool little sweep picking bits, but I never really paid attention to the lyrics until I had to find songs to represent my life. So when started listening more to the words, I felt like this song almost exactly expresses my views and experiences.
"Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should
it's hard to find, but that's alright yeah
Searching for the way, push harder everyday
It's deep inside, that shining light yeah
But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path
I'm scathed"
When I was younger, I had some problems with making friends and depression, but I eventually got out of it. There are other parts of the song I can relate to, but I don't think you guys want me to break down the whole thing.
I think between those three songs, I've got everything pretty well covered. I've got my values, my struggles, and the whole moving around thing.
Hey Jordan here, In class you made it seem like the music you listened to was unbearable but I thought it was pretty good. I can really see how you connected with these song in that way. cool beans man. cool beans.
