(2813 views)Everybody Hurts
I was told by someone to listen to this song when everything is getting too much. When i am at my lowest point I listen to this song and get upset but after taking in every word of the song I do feel better in a small way. Enough to get through to the next time.

Taz said:It's a fantastic song Tony... sure it makes you upset... but it also reminds us that we're not the only ones with problems... if you've got problems, there's always someone out there who's got it worse than you. And we've got each other to get us through our problems here at VR...

Hearing this makes the hairs stand up on my arms.
Amazing how music has the power to make you cry one minute or feel really happy remembering a great time in your life.
Here's to all of you a wish that most music you hear makes you happy!
