This this so much this.
From 14-18 years old, life was hell for me. My father died, my dog died, the first boy I had a crush on died, I had several PAINFUL surgeries and even more painful after-care, wheelchair-bound and I failed grade 12. Twice.
During that time all I did was draw, RP, cry or sleep. The only thing getting me through that all was music. Music that I could not afford (hell, I couldn't even get out of the house), so I had to pirate it through Kazaa. This was back when everything was an .rm file and 200X200 and pixelated to crap so I didn't really download many videos. So music it was.
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. A lot of the things I "pirated" ...didn't save my life exactly but they were a small beacon of awesome in a shitty, SHITTY time in my life.
This is why during that time Alice Cooper's Is anyone home? was my go-to "themesong". It's a song about a guy who...just stays at his computer because it's the only thing left. I really felt that.
