Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.”

    Hannah Harrington
    “It's just nice, I guess. Knowing that someone else can put into words what I feel. That there are people who have been through things worse than I have, and they come out on the other side okay. Not only that, but they made some kind of twisted, fucked-up sense of the completely senseless. They made it mean something. These songs tell me I'm not alone. If you look at it at that way, music... music can see you through anything.”

    “The artist must forget the audience,
    forget the critics, forget the technique, forget everything but love for the music.
    Then, the music speaks through the performance,
    and the performer and the listener will walk together
    with the soul of the composer, and with
    God.”
    ― Mstislav Rostropovich
