Life Soundtrack 20
Shinedown, Second Chance
An autobiographical piece about the songwriter's decision to leave his hometown to pursue his dreams, against the wishes of his parents. It's a story anyone who's walked away from a fundamentalistic background will relate to, at least to some extent. I consider myself fortunate that I was able to do so without damaging any family relationships, but it's still felt at times like leaving home in other ways...

I do relate to it, even though it's not the type of music I normally like. I feel a lot of strain between myself and several of my relatives. When I moved to NYC to be with my wife, it was like my decisions had become "real" to them--I wasn't just a kid in a rebellious phase anymore.
Great song choice.
