Mad Sounds

I find it difficult to believe that you have never taken solace in the words of a song. I can imagine those times you have ran up to your room with your mind going wild and you know exactly which album to pick out, that is virtually guaranteed to make you exclaim "At least they understand."
While some claim music to be only a temporary 'drug' for relieving whatever mental state you are in, for the lost souls among us, music can often be a guide through the pitfalls of life - where lyrics and melodies penned from a hand somewhere in the world - say "It's going to be ok."
For those of you who have not yet chosen that album to get them through the rough and dizzying heights of being a teenager, here are a few of my song suggestions...

"...Ugh"
