Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days

I'm supposed to write a letter to them, but I'm not going to. Honestly, I can't even think of one band in particular that has helped me more than any other. There are songs I relate to, songs that make me cry, songs that make me dance around the living room. And for those of you who really know me this next part might shock you a little. If I were to pick 2 bands (because I can't pick just 1) whose majority of songs have kept me strong, I would have to pick FLAW and Five Finger Death Punch. If you've never heard of them, or have and are shaking your head in disbelief, go read their lyrics, particulary

FLAW :
My Letter
Only the Strong
Best I am*

5FDP :
Never Enough
No One Gets Left Behind
Undone

Five finger death punch more so reminds me of my husband and everything he has done. Their lyrics are very political sometimes (No One Gets Left Behind) but most of them deal with war and fitting in with society. If you can look behind the heavy rock the lyrics are actually very profound and emotional. Just ask my cousin, who listened as my husband sang their songs and broke into sobs. She asked if that is really the way a lot of marines grunts feel, and yes. Yes it is.
