Giving me hope.

You know when a song just clicks with you? When you hear it and feel like it was written for you to hear it? When it came at a time when you most needed it?

Eminem just did that for me.

This video made me cry. Hell, that part where he's breaking down the brick wall just... clicked. My mum.. when the whole divorce shit went down, she suddenly started going on about brick walls. About getting past her brick walls and stuff. We were watching Run Fatboy Run on the plane and my mum pointed out when he came up against a brick wall, saying"That's like my brick wall, and I'm going to get past it."

We're still taking down the wall, brick by brick. It's getting there, slowly.
It feels like, in my head, Eminem broke down the rest. In the video when he pushes down the brick wall, it feels like it's my wall he's pushed down.

How did Eminem know to write this song? What told him I needed it? It's like.. even though he's never heard of me, I've never met him, never seen him ever or anything, no WAY he could have heard of me, he STILL knew to write it because someone needed it.

If I ever do meet him, the first thing I'm saying is thankyou.Thankyou Eminem, for helping me break down the brick wall.
Strange how some things just seem so... personal.
Funny how Eminem can sell out without actually selling out. My friend sent me this song saying "He sounds like Chris Brown with a serious case of bad mouth!!" And yeah, it's like a really angry Chris Brown. But more like a fuck-you-Chris-Brown-I-can-rip-you-off-and-still-sound-better kind of thing, and at the same time, he's able to connect.

Funny how Eminem's most 'sell-out' song according to my friends happens to be the one which makes the connection best.

Sorry for ranting...
