Fights + Music = My Theme This Week! How And Why Do Bands Write Songs About Fighting? Well…here Are A Few Reasons…

Well…here are just a few reasons why we get…and LOVE songs about….fighting!

·Personal conflict — Arguments with friends, family, or romantic partners are common experiences, so songs about them are relatable.
·Inner struggles — A fight can be a metaphor for battling anxiety, addiction, self-doubt, grief, or other personal challenges.
·Social or political causes — Some bands write about fighting injustice, discrimination, war, corruption, or other issues they care about.

Now…to the list!
