Song title: I Was Wrong
Artist: Social Distortion
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
Sometimes a song can take time to reach you.
I first heard this song back in 1996 at age 14 where I didn't think much of it at the time. Flash forward to 2010: I play Rock Band 2 for the first time and notice this song. And then it clicks for me. A song I dismissed in my teens made sense to me as an adult. Maybe it was due to the life experiences behind me. Maybe it was through the mistakes I have made in the past that this song spoke to me. Maybe it was the situation described in this song that resonated with me. Maybe songs really do connect with people who have lived through the situation said song describes.
In any case though, this song rocks hard - and hey, any song that has a chorus with the line: 'Self-destruction's got me again!' deserves some credit.
