My favorite song is "Still Holding Out for You" by SHeDAISYIt's a relatively long story, but I'll try to give an abridged version. I never liked the song when the album first came out. It was probably my least favorite song on that album, actually. Well, in October or November of 1999, my mom was diagnoses with cancer. We all thought it would be one of those cases where the person got better, but it didn't turn out that way. In September of the following year, she was hospitalized, and then put into a hospice. On October 2nd 2000, we were told that she had only a few weeks to live. Two days later, I sat down and wrote an email to the girls of SHeDAISY, because I'd been talking to them through email for the previous eight months or so, and just needed to vent to someone who was sort of impartial on the whole thing. Not one of my close friends. Someone who would care and listen and just let me vent it all out. So, I sent an email about the situation, mainly just to get it all out of my system. I never expected a reply

WOW. When posting that question, I never expected to get such a powerful response. My life wouldn't be the same without music. I turn to music for everything. To see that SHeDAISY had such an impact and really cared about your situation is such a relief. A lot of the music coming out now a days seems so empty, and the performers don't seem like they have a real connection with the song. (if you get what I mean lol im just kind of rambling my thoughts here) Im glad this song helped you through a rough time and that is so awesome that they dedicated it to you. Oh yea, and thanx for posting =D
Yeah, I realized I got a little carried away with the posting, but my "why" is really long. I actually had a lot more that I could have added, but didn't have room to (darn LJ and their limits on comment lengths!).
I have found that the girls of SHeDAISY are a real rarity. I have met very few other artists who seem to care at all.
I have a lot of favorite songs. Thats not a good question. But I'll answer anywayyy....hmmmmm let's seee.....oh geez this is harder than I thought. I'll go with Hoobastank - the reason or diasppear. =/ I can't decide, there's so many good ones to choose from.
