AFISpeaking of gaining strength through music...these guys have helped me through some doozies (I'll explain more in a later post). They have such powerful, candid, yet beautiful lyrics accompanied by an awesome beat.
Back in highschool I would turn on the album "Black Sails in The Sunset" while I got ready and listened to it as I went to sleep.

Narrative of Soul Against Soul
To the wounded:
I have seen the self image
they've forced you to reduce to shattered glass,
with the only remaining value lying in it's jagged edges.
But the few who warrant waking for await their recognition.
No fear of death but with fear of life,
your weakness kills everyone.
So live.
Angels for everyone.
For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one.
Angels in everyone.
What of all their promises?
Can't seem to find much more than lies.
Angels in anyone.
A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Before I'd lay me down to rest,
I'd throw away everything to live.

It might seem kind of dark, and I have to admit I don't listen to them as much anymore, but they will always be my favorite.
