This week the SG homework is about our favourite songs and why.
Usually, I'd be racking my brain going through thousands but one stood out instantly and it will always be my all time favourite.
It's from the Atmosphere album When life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold. The song is called You.
I love this song because it made me quit a job I hated. It was really bringing me down, I was so stuck. The only highlight of my day was when I got to have a cigarette and listen to this on my iPod.
It was you're typical call centre job, I was only there for 2 years but it sucks the life out of you. When people treat you like absolute shit, the only freedom and therapy you get is music. Atmosphere is my way of escaping from the harsh reality.
One day, I just had enough. Handed in my notice. No back up job, not flat to live in. No plan. But seriously was one of the best choices I've ever made!
I remember walking out on my very last day listening to this song with a huge smile on my face and some strut. When you're in a job that's making you depressed and really ill from stress, then you quit? Man it's a fucking good feeling.
