Music makes it all better

I love music. I always have. If it weren't for music I don't know if I'd still be around. When I was in H.S I used to listen to heavy metal because it was the angriest music I could find and it helped me get through some tough times that I'm not sure I would've survived had it not been there to assure me that I'm not the only one feeling down/angry/whatever. Back then I was depressed about life in general. Looking back I'm not sure why I was so upset about things. When you're young there's always hope that things will get better. When you're my age it's different. There's stll hope but there are also so many more concrete reasons to be depressed. At 30 you are more aware of mistakes you've made and reality which is not always so great. Fortunately, there's always music to help you get through tough times. Today is one of those days. I'm not feeling so great but at least I have The Strokes to get me through. My problems will still be there but at least I have music to help me feel better.

This is the song on my itunes right now:

What Ever Happened?
By The Strokes

I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.

I wanna be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.

Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
Top ten ideas for countdown shows...
Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...

You don't miss me, I know.

Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night.
Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause
I've got you to let me down.

I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.

I want to be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet...
