When I was younger I used to listen to Simple Plan a lot. Despite the fact that I hated the band, I listened to them every night. Especially after my Grandmothers death. One song in particular I would find the bits that I understood at age 11, and somehow they all reflected something I was feeling. That song was I'm Just A Kid by Simple Plan. I would set that song on repeat and cry myself to sleep because I didn't know then that nothing actually matters. No matter how unfair life is now, or then, or anytime in the future, when you die does it all really matter? I don't think so. One line from this song has always been true though; "I think I've got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them. What's another night all alone, when you're spending every day on your own". But hey, whatever works right? I've got to go try to figure out how to help one of my actual friends, so I'll exit with the question and say Goodnight.
What's your song of the day readers?
