Support song

Hi,

I've looked into this group from time to time. Hopefully I won't get flamed
for this but I thought I might point out a song that helps me from time to
time, Juice Newton 'Love's been a little bit hard on me'. It helps me and
hopefully will help some other people too. Makes me feel I can hold my head
up again. I've been looking after my daughter solo for a year and a bit now
(she's 4 going on 5) and I still get these maudlin, self pity moments every
once in a while where I fire up the Juice Newton, lean back and unwind a
bit. One of the things I found hardest was coming round to the realisation
that I am not neccessarily evil just because our marriage did not work out
and I would like to say anyone else who is beating themselves up about the
same you are not alone, I think a lot of us do it, I hope we get over it
completely sometime but stuff like music and knowing other people are
managing helps me personally do deal with it.

That's a very nice suggestion! Music helps me too. Lately, it's been
jazz. I use to hate jazz. Now it relaxes me.

Metallica... REALLY REALLY LOUD!!!

Then a CD of songs I can really sing to. Then proceed to sing them as LOUD
as I can.

Yeah! That's the way to get it out of my system!

I went for the heavy stuff as well, mainly Led Zep as well as a lot of blues
music. The trouble was that after a while it all became too depressing and
when I looked over my CD's for something lively, there wasn't one!
Far more balanced now but I still give "Dazed and Confused" a nostalgic
blast occasionally.

Wow... Heavy stuff = Metallica? I always thought they were crybabies...
C'mon... Metallica, in ukrainian, means butterfly. I find Led Zep great,
but I guess I'm still a baby... I've, lately, been listening to a lot of the
usual... Hatebreed, In Flames, Earth Crisis, Minor Threat... I've also been
listening to the older stuff I've always loved; Joy Division, The Church,
Sonic Youth, Echo & the Bunnymen... Music is definitely my second life, when
that second life pokes out from the shadows once in a blue moon lately...

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the greetings, nice to feel welcomed, I am just across the water
from you in England. My apologies, I posted a couple of messages using an
account I set up as a demo for a friend. Deleted the account now and put my
name back in properties, my name actually Andrew, not Mike.
Best regards,

Andrew

Kat, I'm so excited to see someone else who loves The Church!
I love Metallica because of the whole base line and drum lines. They rock!
:-)!!

Though I'm more an electronica girl now.
