Even cowgirls get the blues.

Its the music that gets you through tough times that means the most. Sure in a lot of ways you remember the music that was playing when you were happy, the music that accompanies all those favourite memories that you have tends to stick with you and when you hear a song that reminds you of a great night with friends or a wonderful holiday it will make you smile.
But the songs that pull you through the dark times are the songs you will always hold closest to your heart.
You remember the albums that you put on when you had to scrape yourself off the floor to turn the stereo on. Its when it matters the most, so you turn to something that you know will help you. It might me something to cheer you up or something to make you realise that someone has felt the way you feel in those moments. Music can save people so what you turn to in the moments when you need saved is the stuff that shapes you, the stuff that stays with you.

I cannot go a single day without listening to music of some sort and I know what albums and artists have really been there.
It's highly ironic that right now the music helping me cope is the music of one of the favourite bands of someone who has hurt me. Somehow this music suits my mood and I don't even think of him when I listen to it, which is a good thing. I guess you don't really choose the music that's gonna pull you through, it chooses you.
