The Lyrics We Hold Near and Dear

Personal Tumblr Music has a profound effect on all of us and personally, when I find a lyric that just fits my situation, my life, or my exact thoughts, I immediately love the song/artist that much more. It also gets quoted on this blog. Songwriters do the impossible: they put raw emotion into the words and phrases that we just can't seem to find ourselves. Format of posts: Artist | Song Title Album
