Sola Sistem saved my life

I just wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone, and to say a quick thank you to the boys once more for this song.

I love everything UW does, of course, but Sola Sistim has a special place in my heart.

One day in the mid-2000s, I was working a job I hated in marketing, and I was getting yelled at pretty hard during the day by advertisers. I was pretty low, and during those days, I'd always have a net radio station playing in the background.

I got off the phone with someone who'd just been particularly mean to me, and was pretty much falling apart -- and suddenly this song came on the radio. It just really helped to bring me back.

Ever since then, when I'm low, I put this song on. It just helps.

Anyway, I just think it's important to vocalize these things, so I thought I'd toss it up here.

Of course, somehow I spelled it "sistem" and not "Sistim". Dang it.

Aww, thats great to have a song do that for you.

(i actually didn't like Sola Sistim on my first listen thru, but then it quickly grew on me. Love it now.)

That's so beautiful to hear!

The song is so powerful, you can hear all the emotion and feel that went into making it!

I'm basically just listening to it on repeat forever lately, because my life is garbage as of late.

Feels. Nithing like this band to remind me of the bliss, even through the darkness.
