For a lot of people, the kind of music they listen to doesn’t really scratch the surface as to who they are, or more importantly to this jumbled thought..how they view themselves. people know that I have the chorus to a song tatted across my back. It is from a band named Flaw, from a song called "Only the Strong" I used to watch my nephew a lot when he was just a baby, and to get him to go to sleep, I would sing this song..(they made a acoustic piano version, I wasn’t like screaming to him or anything.lol) Bands will break up, (as Flaw did..but I hear they are getting the band back together..woot!) but the music they make will stay with you as long as you live. I would never get a band name inked on me, but I had no problem going under the needle for this song that means so much to me. what makes me really LOVE a song?..it has to be able to stop me in my tracks, and be able to clear my mind of anything when I am listening to it, you will feel it in your stomach when the lyrics are being sung or when the instruments are playing. Now remember I am not just talking about liking a song..it is easy to like a catchy song..but ask yourself..does it move me?
