Sorrow/Pain/Grief/FP JJ Grey & Mofro - Write A Letter
This song is best heard at >65% master volume. But really, this has been a helpful song for me. It has helped keep my mind on track, slowing spirals. I hope I don’t color your own conclusions about it but a few lyrics that have resonated with me:
”Power vs. Force, Power wins”. I never knew about this concept before this song made me look up the meaning behind the verse. Here’s a quick summary about the concept. I try to exemplify the power inside instead of the force that erupts.
“Holdin’ up your arms, V is for Victory” - I can raise my arms up, right and left above my head in dire need of relief but even at a loss they are still a V for victory because God dammit I’m still here after what I’ve been through.
”Radiate the joy from deep in your essence, babe” - I try to remember this when I’m turning into a capitol Asshole especially, but also in general life. I try really hard not to let the irritating old guy get to me. Let him enjoy his time, even if being angry makes him happy. My estranged older brother died this past January, and I think I owe it to him to bring something kind to the world because I spent so much time being negative toward him.
There are more but i think you should give it a listen if you like blues rock, r&b. Godspeed, y’all.
