Hearing it brings me back to the worst time in my life, in a good peaceful way. It's cathartic to see how far I have come from my life's most painful moment.

Love the idea of a Victory mix. I'm going to have to make one for myself. Rock on.

"Oh Bondage Up Yours" by the X-Ray Spex? Heck. That's awesome. On the flip, I always find Bon Iver's "Holocene" to be so affirming. When he sings "I was not magnificent" -- that's comforting to me, to think that in the grand scheme of things, I am such a small part of it all. And the universe is so large and grand and I exist within it. And -- I am so not explaining myself well! Grack! Anyway, "Holocene" makes me feel victorious in a small, peaceful way. I don't know.
