"Hard Times" - Tyler Childers

Remember, tough times don't last, tough people do

Falling down is a reason to get up! Whether or not "there was work up in Hindman," you'll make it through. You always do. Working also looks very different for a lot of people. Someone could be literally getting back on their feet. Being down is a reason to get back up. Sometimes you work mentally too.

Speaking of work: "Know anybody dat wants h'eiter ting done?"

(For the fellow Newfoundlanders)

The blues genre is completely based on hard times, experiencing stuff like that of course provides you with the best words to put in sequence. Just because someone carries it well doesn't mean it wasn't heavy either. It's that time of year to hear the blues, but is there really a wrong time? Pair the winter blues with the regular blues.

"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" - Elton John

To paraphrase something from "Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix", which I read quite a while ago, "you don't just play the blues, you feel them too." People have been pouring their heart and souls into creative outlets since time immemorial.

Use hard times as fuel. "Fuel" - Metallica
