In many of the activities of my lab, music plays a huge role, whether
it includes writing manuscripts to the Jurassic Park Pandora channel or submitting grants to the WICKED soundtrack. We were excited to see this playlist, available to you on Spotify, that
includes songs that persons of all ages with many different types of
brain injury contributed, as they had some importance to them on their
brain injury recovery journey.

One of the songs jumped out at me - Rise up byAndra Day
(I have this on repeat on the hard days)
The contributor, someone with brain injury, said:
“This song helped me discover my strength to battle through the really
hard times and reminded me to never give up,” said Hayley Nye.
Here are some of the words for you, if you want to know what he is talking about to see if you can relate!
"You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I’ll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
For you"
