ROCK SONGS TO LISTEN TO WHEN IN GRIEF, OR WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE.



 



It’s been a few days back since I read about the death of Paul Walker, what a great guy he was, and am yet to read something negative about him. He is a massive loss to Hollywood  and the world at large and am pretty sure we are still hurting over it and here’s another loss to the entire world, the death of Nelson Mandela, though more of a celebration of life well lived. Sepp Blatter, president of football governing body FIFA, said his death is a loss of the "greatest humanist" and that’s definitely the sheer truth.
A friend posted on his face book page today morning, asking what we are listening to. I quickly replied “Wake me when September ends by Green day because it was playing into my ear holes, but then I realized that it’s a song written because of the loss of someone special (Billy Joe wrote the song after he lost his dad) coincidentally.
Whenever we lose someone very dear to us, we sometime pick a good mix to aid in carrying our hearts through those sad moments. For the rock fans in Nigeria, here’s my playlist of good rock songs to listen to when you are going through that painful moment, when you’ve lost someone very special to you. Most were written as a result of a dead band member, family member or a friend so go through the list and find some from your favorite band, Google them up and download, and I would’ve written a bit about each song but its quite a long list and I don’t have much time on my plate. This post is dedicated to Paul Walker and Nelson Mandela.
