Ramshackle Glory - Live the Dream
So much music I listen to is relatable for me. I mean, I've never been a heroin junkie, and I've never been huffing paint behind buildings. But it's relatable in a sense that we've all seen hard times, and you can't dwell on it, we're all growing. It's relatable in a sense that no one wants to be tied down or held back by their fears or their demons. It's a suitable album title, it's about living the dream.
This is one of my favorite albums because it brings me nothing but joy to listen to. Living and loving and trying your best to be you even through rough waters. Sometimes I play this album when I'm feeling down, because it makes me feel like things can get better. I feel like I'd still be suffering through depression most everyday if I had never heard this album. It made me work to change things rather than sit there and bathe in it. Most of all, it helped me to realize that life is what you make it, and that mine has only just begun.
The music is wonderful too. There's something whimsical about it. I bought this album after going to a Ramshackle Glory show with a friend, now I don't go a day without listening to at least one song from their's.
