Many years ago, I was going through a very rough time of my life. A very rough time. There were times during this period where I wasn't sure if I'd live to see the next day.
It was around this time that "Automatic for the People" by REM came out. I was never a big fan of them, but my roommate was. When I heard the song "Everybody Hurts" it struck very close to home. I stole his tape (yeah, it was a cassette) and listened to it religiously. I credit a lot of my dealing with the issues from those days to that song. I helped get me through that point of my life. Now, whenever I hear that song, it brings back the memories, but with all the years removed, the memories are hopeful.
