Decisions, Decisions! |
If life seems jolly rotten, Giving and accepting advice is one part of life that helps us through the trials and tribulations we are faced with. The problem with advice is that we often don’t take it, especially if it means doing or admitting something that we’d rather not. Sometimes advice brings up an option you didn’t think of before or gives you another question without an answer. Often inspiring and uplifting, sometimes a cold slap in the face, and occasionally funny, the great thing about advice songs is that you can kick back and listen to someone else coach you through a tough situation while rocking out at the same time. Advice may be given… advice may be taken. Even advice without an answer can remind you that you are never alone. |
