R&P: Name a Song That Speaks to You of Experience, Strength, or Hope?
Question by Punch: R&P: name a song that speaks to you of Experience, Strength, or Hope?
Hello all!! your distant cousin Punch here to tell you that you too can see yourself through a living hell and come through on the other side, a better stronger spirit. I have been living in a treatment center since checking myself into detox on June 7th for a longtime substance abuse problem as a result of some painful issues that I am finally facing for the first time in my life..

Hey, Punch, it’s great to see you back!!
I hope things are going better for you now and that you’ll have a brighter future ahead of you.
I had a bit of a tough time during my mid-teenage years but this song kinda helped me to cope during that time. I don’t listen that much to Nirvana these days but this is still one of my favourite songs of theirs.
All Apologies – Nirvana

BQ: Of course I do
BQ2: The Drugs Don’t Work. Such a emotionally powerful song.
Hey man, nice to see you here again. I hope all that works out for you. I have seen this problem in my family and in myself and I wish you the best.

BQ: I’ve seen you around a few times before.
BQ2: Angel.
Hello, Punch
BA: Yessir!!
BA2: Sarah…all the way
I just went through the roughest 13 weeks of my life. I’ve been through divorces, death, trauma, homelessness, and all kinds of set backs and drama. But this last divorce liked to have killed me. But, you know what? I’m ok now. I asked God to give me peace, and He did.
But, that being said, here’s my song that helped me through…

Nice to see you back Punch. Glad to know you are doing well. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do what you did and to continue what you must. Keep up the great work. I am proud of you.

You think you’re depressed — just think if you were a manically depressed robot….
At least people seem to remember you…. they hold you in high regard.
Anyone who ever listened to me has only ever grown to hate me. Just by typing this answer, I’ve probably just bored you, or made all of you hate me…. if you didn’t already.
I’d name a song, but no one ever listens to me… brain the size of a planet, but there’s not a soul in the world that a listen to a single one of my million ideas… all of which lead to certain death. I’ll just sit here in the corner, rust, and fall apart.
Punch! I don’t like playing favourites on here, but it wasn’t the same without you! Glad to hear you’re doing well. It’s always good to hear a positive story.
MA:
I’m usually rubbish at these kinds of question, but I think this works:

Hey, there.
I’ve never really answered any of your posts so you may not know me, but i sure know you. In answer to your BQ, yes. I do! You have exquisite taste in music. In answer to the second BQ, a majority of the songs you’ve introduced to me are on my iPod now, including a variety of U2 songs.
Well here are just two songs that help me through some hard times..
