Time for one of my favorite post/life topics: MUSIC! In case you missed it, here's the homepage for this series that explains what these posts are all about. Each song title below is a link to the YouTube video of the song, and at the very bottom of the page you can find a YouTube player of the entire playlist.
Note: I listen to literally the largest mixed bag of songs, so if you see one song isn't for you - give some of the others a chance and you may find one better suited to your preferences! (And who knows, maybe you'll find something that surprises you!).
Comment below and let me know what you think of these posts! Did you find any new songs to add to your playlists? Do you have any songs you would recommend around this theme?
Today's focus: The "Comeback" playlist - Part 1 (because I have too many songs for this to put in just one post!)

Comeback Kid - The Band Perry. "But no, I'm not leavin', even though I'm bleedin', even though this nightmare makes me wish I was dreamin'. Even though I hate it, I'm gonna take it until I win. 'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid. Don't know why bad things happened, but they did. I don't think I deserve the hurt I get, but I'm made for it. It's not the end, no, it's not the end. I'm a comeback kid. Down for a minute, I'll get up again. Looks like I'm breaking, but it's just a bend; it's not over yet, 'Cause in the end, I'm a comeback kid."
Rise Up - Matt Maher "When you don't know how to surrender because your whole life's been a fight; when the dark holds you and you can't break through because you haven't seen the light...You've got to rise up, rise up when this life has got you down. You've got to look up, look up when you search and nothing's found...Rise up now."
