The Song That Inspired You Through A Hardship

Was there a song that really helped you or inspired you through your hardship?

While I was going through a lot with my financial problems there are a couple of songs that kind of inspired me to go on and fight... one is What Faith Can Do by Kutlass and the other one is I'm Movin On by the Rascal Flatts.

What was your inspiration song?
 
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon.

She walks everyday thru' the studios of Nimman
She's innocent and young, from a family of NO means
I've stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale lamplight

How can I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love.
No you'll never see my shade nor hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Nimman Street. (adaptation)

You said we're thru' before
You walked out on me before
I tried to tell you but you didn't want to know
This time you're different .....

I wait as the days go by
I long for the nights to go by
I hear the knock on my door that can never come
I hear the telephone that hasn't rung


(the guitar riff @ 1:42 just deepens the agony :D )

Nice thread, like the idea...

Through my addictions;

"Sooner Or Later"

I want a normal life
just like a new born child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated

[Pre-Chorus]
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away

You're like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on tv
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it

[Pre-chorus]

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away

Throw our life away
Ooooo
Throw our life away

This isn't the most uplifting or happy song, I listened to it a lot after my father passed...

"Monday Song"

Life is lost for me, and everything I dream
Picture me above the sky on this half day closing
Ride the wave say goodnight drifting slowly
I see the world in your eyes it's relentless
When I feel the burn in my life God please end this
It's not so easy can you fix me and wipe it all away
Wipe it all away, you wash it all away
Picture me inside the sun, I'm dried and burning
As I sink like a stone the world keeps turning
I'll hold you close to myself you complete me
A part of my life I can't fill, please release me now
It's not so easy, and wipe it all away, can you fix me, and wipe it all away
So sadistic, and wipe it all away, how you'd bleed me, and wash it all away
Follow a heart in vain you follow and start again
Life is lost for me now

Sorry only video I could find, song sounds much better on album
 
This is kind of where I am lately...

Nine Inch Nails
"Right Where It Belongs"


See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

I was at this concert, I bawled so hard...
 
A song for RCG and I (and I'll quit posting for now:))

Nine Inch Nails
"We're In This Together"

I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and I'm the king
nothing else means anything

The Song That Inspired You Through A Hardship
-------------------------------

With enough Budweiser and my piano I wrote my own. It's been a while but your question brought back memories. I did have some favorite C&W but those hard times were like it happened to somebody else.
