Relating to songs

[speckzo]

I've always related to Eminem's music which is one of the reasons I'm so obsessed with it. The original Marshall Mathers LP is my favorite album of all time and one of the main reasons is because I relate to that angry fuck everybody feeling. On this album I relate the most to two songs, Stronger Than I Was and Headlights. Stronger Than I Was obviously because I've been fucked over by girls I thought I loved, but Headlights, man. I almost cried when I first heard that song, not because of anything else but because of how much I related to it. I've always related to the tracks about his mom because I share similar anger towards mine. But Headlights made me realized that even though she's done so much fucked up shit to me and I pretend it doesn't effect me, it does and I wish it was different and that we had a better relationship and that I still love her because she's my mom but she's just a sick person and she might never change. That's part of the reason I love his music so much. Have any of you had any similar experiences where you related so much to a song?

Also, on a side note, I just dyed my hair in time for the album http://postimg.org/image/f9yely5mh/

I related a lot to Till I Collapse and Lose Yourself. Just underdog songs about overcoming obstacles and destroying your competition. He has an enormous chip on his shoulder that you hear in most of his songs regardless of content. It's that chip that drove him to be who he was. I can relate. So on this album Legacy is that song for me.

Legacy is by far the most relatable to me.

Great thread, OP. Cool pic.

I related to Headlights, because I was a retarded teenager with an angry attitude towards my mother. Today we're cool with each other, but listening to Headlights made me cry a lot. I instantly went to my mother and said I love her. We cried and hugged.

I love Headlights.

'til I collapse was like my theme song when I was pledging lol

I liked Headlights because of how he made songs about his mom in the past, and how they contrast now.

But as far as relating goes, I feel like my parents weren't ever giving me problems, so I can't relate.

Agreed, not saying that it's his best song by any means but I can't remember getting the feels like I did from this song from any other song.

You should start dating better girls lol

Relapse and Recovery were both relateable because I've been on both sides of the coin. MMLP is relateable in an external sense and MMLP2 is relateable in an internal sense.

TES and Encore aren't really relatable and I doubt they were meant to be.

I didn't just mean Headlights, I mean any song from him ever.
