Helped me Through

I've been reading threads about how Pearl Jam music helped people through a certain bad time in their lives. I can't say music has help me through a bad time, but it distracted me in moments, and was always a part of time either good or bad.
Has music actually helped you, i.e., not just bridged the time between bad to good, but was the bridge you walked across from bad time to good time?
Now, some times I've been filled with so much passionate angry energy, and the way I've been able to release it was through writing poetry. That worked magic, and actually deflated the angst. So, maybe it's the same principle?

But I've met a lot of girls, who have had bad relationships with their fathers. Some have been abusive while most of them were just terrible and didn't care for them. Whenever I hear "Daughter" I think of all the girls I've met and it angers me that a male could be so disheartening to one of his children, especially his own daughter.

I totaly know where you are coming from, I very nearly wept with joy when American Idiot came out, the lyrics (even if you take the political content out) moved me in a way I was not expecting at all, and like you say the music is fun and upbeat which definitely helps lift a bad mood.
I've always used music to express the mood I'm in, and would be totally lost without it. Pearl Jam will always be the most important band to me, I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Chris Cornell's various bands and projects have always been really important to me too. He has a real gift for expressing emotion on a grand scale, and when I don't feel I can talk to people about my feelings, it's really helpful to me to be able to put a record on and hear someone else wrestle with those same kind of feelings. The key line I'm thinking of now is from the song Seasons "and I'm lost behind the words I'll never find", kind of makes me feel less alone if a huge rock star can identify with those feelings too.
Good for you! It's funny how sometimes the answers are so simple, yet we can't seem to find them without a song.... I love the power of music! Especially in this song!

Thank you Pearl Jam!
Exactly.
