"Well, maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year."<br />And Get Back Up by tobyMac - "Feels like you've been running all your life, but why, oh why? So you run away from the love that would've been there, and start believing that your situation's unfair. But there's always scars when you fall that far. We lose our way, we get back up again. So get up, get up, you gonna shine again. It's never to late to get back up again. You may be knocked down, but not out forever." <3Bethany Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829932931010851406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-87526000635521555412011-07-26T20:04:14.486-06:002011-07-26T20:04:14.486-06:00Thanks for the inspiring song lyrics.

Just wanted to acknowledge your loss and your braveness in sharing. <br /><br />I also love Muse and recently found Brit band Pendulum who morphed from drum & bass (electronic) to a fusion of that and rock. Coincidentally, they have a song that lyrically fits so well to what I'm writing.

I was half way through the pregnancy, and had to spend the night in the hospital the night after the procedure. Mtv and vh1 used to play videos all night.. well that song came on just about every half hour. I dont know if I would have made it through the night without it.. I was at my all time low, but that song would play and it kept me calm. Kept me grounded. <br /><br />Now whenever anything bad in my life happens, I think back to that night, and that song, and if I can make it through that, then I can make it through everything. <br /><br />I just move along..Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860029277147120060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-13422773428856001182011-07-26T10:07:26.415-06:002011-07-26T10:07:26.415-06:00This may sound weird...but Eminem, One Shot.

Every time I hear the song I think "This book needs to get published so that someone out there knows what this song means to me." Because it's hard when people haven't read that story and you hear that song and it's so beautiful and it makes me ache to have that story in front of readers.Stephanie McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507025637411479409noreply@blogger.com
