Keep The Faith
The song that got me into the music. I used to have a crush on this guy that played bass and he when I heard him play this song I never got it out of my head. But even more importantly I was listening to it throughout my high school period and it helped me as it was a reminder of staying strong for me. I never took it as a song about religious faith but about haveing faith in yourself. Not all of the lyrics fit for me but some lines were important (still are today). The song is just 'my song' as I always felt a connection to it and was 'a friend' through many years (yep, lots of cheese here)
Something To Believe In
In 2003 someone who was there for me a lot at a time when no one else was moved to China and I remember being so angry about it. That I played the song over and over again. When I went to the Kiel concert they played it and it really got to me. I still remember that intro and the emotions running through me back then. The whole TD album gave me a lot but this song stands out particularly.
Happy Now
I was at a place where a lot of stuff happened while I was living abroad, sickness, people dying, old pain coming back, getting deeply hurt and disapppointed by someone I had feelings for, important decisions and so on. I'd say it was the worst time in my life and I didn't know whether I would make it because it almost broke me, but at the same time I started building new dreams and did a lot of reflection of my past and my values. So this song fits lyrically and guided me during this period. I still feel connected to this song in a special way and love it because it seems real, reflective but still hopeful.
Really cool threat! Thanks for posting it!
