What's a lyric from lesser-known band that most people don't know about that really resonates with you?

You’re either looking 6 months into the future Or looking 10 years into the past Searching for answers in tough circumstances I just need something that lasts Give me something that lasts

Martha, Present, Tense

I don't got HD TV but I got insulation

I got no Lamborghini's, but I got vaccinations

I got a microwave, I got some pocket change

And even if I didn't, dude, pssh, no complaints

Tonight if you see me knocking on wood

That's just because I'm doing so fucking good

I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright

That's why tonight you see me knocking on wood

Spose - Knocking on Wood

Apologies for the extended quote. This whole song serves as a reminder that we always have something to be thankful for. There's humor in it, but the sentiment is sincere and delivered in a catchy song.

Edit: why the flip won't Lemmy respect line breaks??

replying to your edit: it's because it's a reddit clone. In order to have an actual newline, you need to add two spaces at the end of your sentence.

Kind of a niche reference, but one that's been stuck in my head lately is Pedro the Lion's "if I still say 'here I am' when something wakes me up at 4 AM ... How could this be goodbye?"

Given and Denied - Poets of the Fall

"Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again

Like I never outgrew my old playground

Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings

Give me those wings"
