What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?
There are a LOT of lyrics that have stuck with me over the years, but I’ll start with the most obvious.
“Now is not forever.”
This is a line from the Alter Bridge track “I Know It Hurts,” from their 2010 release AB III. That song got me through a very tough time, and that particular lyric stood out so much that it became my first tattoo.
“…your destiny is not defined by what you failed to see.”
Another Alter Bridge lyric, this one from “My Champion” (The Last Hero, 2016). This is another reminder that I think everyone could occasionally use.
“If you believe in nothing else, just keep believing in yourself.”
I swear, this is the last Alter Bridge lyric! But to be fair, Myles Kennedy is a hell of a songwriter. Anyway, this is taken from “All Ends Well” (Fortress, 2013). The full segment continues with “There will be times of trouble/It’s gonna hurt like hell/This much I know: all ends well/It all ends well.”
And last but not least – also last because I have to stop at four or we’ll be here all day. Music is such a huge part of my life that I could discuss this for hours.
“Rock and roll’s not suicide, it’s life support.”
Skold: “Here Comes the Thunder” (Anomie, 2011)
