For me Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" is becoming something of an Anthem for me whilst I am severing myself from the JW's / WTS. If you are unfamiliar withthe lyrics follow this link

Has anyone else got a song that helped them during thier exit?
Ahhh yes Don Henley - what a great lyricist. Long Live DH and of course the eagles
Bon Jovi, It's my Life.
It's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever...
No Apologies
yeah Hotel California
I have quite a few. Here are two of my favorites from my fading period:
Supertramp, The Logical Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBAasek8NR4
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
The Clash- Should I Stay or Should I Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ag8J2NMYmc
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
Ill be here til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Youre happy when Im on my knees
One day is fine, next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecisions bugging me
If you dont want me, set me free
Exactly whom Im supposed to be
Dont you know which clothes even fit me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Also, for years I was a 70's/80's Heavy Metal lover. I put that aside for the dear WTS, so this was very inspirational.
The words and the fact that it's reminiscent of a life before WTS:
AC DC- Back in Black
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXaZmY52gHM
Back in black
I hit the sack
Ive been too long Im glad to be back [i bet you know im...]
Yes, Im let loose
From the noose
Thats kept me hanging about
Ive been looking at the sky
cause its gettin me high
Forget the hearse cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cats eyes
Abusin every one of them and running wild
Chorus:
cause Im back
Yes, Im back
Well, Im back
Yes, Im back
Well, Im back, back
(well) Im back in black
Yes, Im back in black
Back in the back
Of a cadillac
Number one with a bullet, Im a power pack
Yes, Im in a bang
With a gang
Theyve got to catch me if they want me to hang
Cause Im back on the track
And Im beatin the flack
Nobodys gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
Im just makin my play
Dont try to push your luck, just get out of my way
Chorus
Well, Im back, yes Im back
Well, Im back, yes Im back
Well, Im back, back
Well Im back in black
Yes Im back in black
Hooo yeah
Ohh yeah
Yes I am
Oooh yeah, yeah oh yeah
Back in now
Well Im back, Im back
Back, Im back
Back, Im back
Back, Im back
Back, Im back
Back
Back in black
Yes Im back in black
Out of the sight
Being an old hippy, atheist and big punk-as-well-as-glam rock fan, I love this relatively 'new-to-me' band, and this song
(no offense to any religious people, but evil/good is basically a religious concept, so the 'evil is good' is a play on words)
Frankenstein Drag Queen, Evil Is Good
Well, God gave us a big black eye
and the Devil puts a steak on it
and says its alright
they tell us we must choose a side
well why does the darker one
seem so bright
Well, the world s telling us we re doomed
and they don t approve of pointy hats
and magic with brooms
well, now I ve got a question for you
well, if Gods so f***ing perfect
why did he f**k up on you?
They tell us if we pray
that when we die
we will go to a better place
well I don t wanna do
the things I should
cause it feels good to be evil
cause evil is good
Well, you go to church on Sunday
to wash away the sh*t
you did the past 6 days
now you re on your knees to pray
well we pray your stupid God
will come and take you away
They tell us if we pray
that when we die
we will go to a better place
well I don t wanna do
the things I should
cause it feels good to be evil
cause evil is good
Yeah, evil is good
Yeah, evil is good
Evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil
G-a-ah-Wawd Bless !Talesin !
How in Hell are ya'? I'll be talkin' to you soon.
Hotel California always summed up the JW Cult for me, too. "...you can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave..."
RABBIT
You are surviving the heat. TGFAC (Thank Goddess For AC)
