Was jamming this song LOUD in a parking lot waiting for my wife to get something, a lady with tears in her eyes walked up to the car and said Oh my God I forgot about that song this is just what I needed now and thanked me and we both laughed,as her mood instantly improved, MAGICAL!

[@esumsengineeringclass1449]

Did you understand the circumstances here?

[@atomdent]

@@esumsengineeringclass1449 yes this song is inspirational and brings with it a message we all need to take to every struggle, the fact that the song is a mood lifter is my point ,we should all face our oppressors be they a situation or a person with belief we can endure and even win.Yes I know there is fear but it can be meet with optimism because the alternative is too troubling, you can veiw it as the band on the deck of the Titanic but I choose to see it differently ,sorry.
