Music has always been a big part of my life, and there’s one song in particular that stands out as my absolute favorite. Whenever I hear it, I’m transported back to a specific moment in my past – a moment that has stayed with me ever since.
The First Time I Heard It
I remember the first time I heard this song like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my room, feeling pretty down about something or other, when my roommate knocked on the door and asked if I wanted to come hang out in the living room with her and some of our other friends. I wasn’t really in the mood to socialize, but I didn’t want to be rude, so I said yes.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard the song playing. It was something I’d never heard before, but from the very first notes, I was hooked. I asked my roommate what it was called, and she told me – “This is my Fight Song” by Rachel Platten.
The Meaning Behind the Music
Over the next few weeks, I listened to that song on repeat. There was something about the lyrics that spoke to me on a really deep level. The chorus, in particular, hit home:
“This is my fight songTake back my life songProve I’m alright songMy power’s turned onStarting right now, I’ll be strongI’ll play my fight songAnd I don’t really care if nobody else believes’Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me”
At the time, I was going through a tough period in my life. I was dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, and I felt like I was constantly fighting to keep my head above water. This song became my anthem – a reminder that no matter how hard things got, I had the strength to keep going.
A Song That Sticks With You
It’s been several years since I first heard “This is my Fight Song,” but it’s still just as impactful to me now as it was back then. Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, I turn on this song and let it remind me of the strength I have inside me.
I think we all have songs like this – ones that stick with us through the years and become a part of who we are. For me, “This is my Fight Song” will always hold a special place in my heart.
Conclusion
Music has a unique ability to connect with us on a deep level. For me, “This is my Fight Song” is more than just a piece of music – it’s a symbol of strength and perseverance. And I know that no matter what life throws my way, I’ll always have this song to turn to when I need a reminder of just how strong I can be.
