Billy Joel – Angry Young Man

2104 was the year I finally got in touch with my inner rage towards my parents over the way they behave towards each other, and my anger motivated me to finally tell them point-blank that I wanted it to stop. Anger is an empowering emotion that motivates us to stand up for what is important to us, and I had long repressed mine. Not any more!

I used to like this song for different reasons, way back when I self-righteously thought that angry people were just being stupid. One particular line stands out for me:

I believe I’ve passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage

Maybe I’ll become as enlightened as Billy in 2015?
