Day 19: A song that inspires you
Explode and tear this whole town apart;
take a knife and cut this pain from my heart;
find somebody itching for something to start;
The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand;
if I could reach one moment into my hands;
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man, I believe in a promised land.

Day 19: A song that inspires you
Inspires me... or just makes me smile warmly --which is a good thing in this modern world.
"So let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide"

Day 19: A song that inspires you
This one inspires me not as much with what it is, as the effect it had. Ben Haggerty records as Macklemore, alongside producer Ryan Lewis. He is not the most lyrical rapper, nor the fastest, nor does he have an incredible flow. He is very good, just not amazing, at least not to me. But he is very transparent about the struggles he has gone through, and very introspective and...honest. He is brutally fucking honest. And I love that. The first song of his to get attention was called "Otherside," based on the beat of the song of the same name by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, no strangers to songs about the downside of drugs. He said he originally had no idea where this song would go. He loved the beat, and wanted to put something down about his struggles with drugs, specifically "lean" or "purple drank," a vile mixture of codeine cough syrup, promethazine, Jolly Ranchers, and Sprite, lauded by some rappers including Lil' Wayne, who was Haggerty's idol. And wanting to be like his idol, Haggerty got hooked. "Otherside" is the result. This is the version remixed with Seattle band Fences (who you should also look up) from The VS. REDUX.
So what is so inspiring about this song is how many people it connected to, people in the gaps. This is a big issue, but it never got the attention of other drug issues. It just wasn't on the radar. This song changed that for a lot of people. Haggerty talks in a follow-up to this song, where her wrestles with failing when he relapses, about how many people say their lives were changed by "Otherside," that it gave them the strength to get help for the first time, it allowed them to know they weren't alone, and there was another side. There are many testimonials to this. In short, this song saved people's lives. Music has that power.
And that is inspiring.

I'm not exactly sure how I missed this song until this year but someone shared it with me last month and all I can say is better late than never.

I absolutely love the drum line from this -- fast, clean, and fitting the emotions of the song.
