That Perfect Song

Have you ever just had one of those days where you search and search through all of your songs to just find that one that explains how you're feeling in that moment? Thats me, everyday. I don't think I have ever had two days where I listen to the exact same song over again, or the same artist for that matter (unless it's Paramore, but that's because they're awesome).
Hayley Williams from Paramore 
Whenever I'm in a funk I tend to listen to Paramore, partly because they've got some kick ass music, but mostly because about 85% of the time, the lyrics just speak to how I am feeling. My go-to song is and always will be "Last Hope" because it just has a vibe about it that makes me feel that although I'm sad and down right now, there's always a little place inside of me that will keep me from giving up.
"It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going. And when it's dark out, no one's around, it keeps glowing."
This chorus is what helps me to rediscover my strength, the strength that I thought I had lost because of some irrelevant occurrence in my life whether it be because I was let down by a person (mainly a boy) in my life, or whenever I have doubts about just doing well in life. I know that there will always be that "spark" inside of me that will keep me going for as long as I live.

I hope you can find that perfect song because having a song that lifts you up when you are having a terrible day is truly a lifesaver. It can change your whole mood and your outlook for that day, week, or even month. It's amazing to be able to listen to a song for 3 or 4 minutes and then feel inspired about life. I want nothing more for you than to find that song to lift you up because sometimes, it's the only thing that can get you through your day.

xoxo, Alex
