Music
In many ways, TWLOHA was born on March 4, 2006, inspired by an evening with this band and this song: Here is a history lesson. It's 22 years old and 8 minutes long. I hope it finds you like a friend: Thrice's Dustin Kensrue @ Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA. Song is called "Blanket of Ghosts": .. Video below is for "The Way She Feels" by Between the Trees. These guys are dear friends of ours, have been connected to TWLOHA since day one. BTT's album is called "The Story and The Song" and the entire TWLOHA story is included in the liner notes.
The box below contains 45 songs. It's called a playlist. It's ours and it's yours. We think music is pretty important, the way a song can say something true, or feel like a friend. We hope you find some friends in these. Click and enjoy:
To Write Love on Her Arms is a work in progress. This began with one broken girl, one painful night; addiction, depression, cutting. This is a glimpse at the five days that followed, a decision to love and to begin telling her true story. To Write Love on Her Arms is becoming something bigger, something hopeful. It's the realization of what life can be when we commit to meeting a need. A friend of mine told me there's no such thing as suicide prevention. This is an attempt to prove him wrong, to say that love can change a life. We can hold back the darkness. Rescue is possible. More soon to come. Join us as we continue to write this story, and as we begin to offer hope to the many hopeless who walk these dark roads. A Jimmy Eat World lyric has been stuck in my head today, "Believe your voice can mean something."

the only thing i know about what God has planned for me has something to do with music. i have had ppl give words to me at church during worship telling me "When you are in other countries over seas ministering to people that are fans of whatever band you make it with, people are just going to start crying and tell you about everything that God has done in their life and how you've inspired it" and i just fall to my knees in tears everytime. because i know that God is greater than the earth and everyone in it, because he created it. and he can do anything. i will keep you in my prayers too bro, because the only thing i need right now is to spend more time in the word, and lately that has been an epic failure for me. right now, i feel like my life is falling down on me, because no matter happy i get, i fall again. and i get kicked while i'm down. and then when that cloud of darkness clears up, i'm happy for a while, and i do great with God, and then WHAMMM!!! i fall again. lately, my struggle has been with the legal system. i was hanging out with some people at westshore mall, and this kid that i used to be really good friends with and that i would have taken a bullet for came up to me and wanted to talk to me, and i decided not to because i knew that he had been smoking pot. and then he came up to me again, and i said "sure" and this kid put a knife in my pocket, and like an idiot, i took it. when me and this kid walked off, the 5 people that i was with started following us, and the kid said "if we're gonna fight, let's not do it at the mall" and i said "jake, i don't want to fight you, i don't want to have anything to do with you because you have changed and i hate the person you have become" and then we talked a little more, and the kid that put the knife in my pocket started walking closer (the five people that were watching were at a distance so they cou
Someday Sometimes when you are not paying attention Someone comes to you If for only a second, or longer It appears as if you were one Or do you just share The same life experience A deeper level of life That many people chose to build walls around That many people will never understand The passion of one's heart Misunderstood bye so many Such a incredible gift And a terrible curse at the same time The pain you have to go through to get To where ever it is you are going The scars you carry heavily on your heart To leave you but a memory of all that was And all that is to become Which road in life do I take now... is the question Should I follow my heart and feel... Or follow fear... Only time will tell....
I know you get these comments all the time but I just thought I would take the time to thank you all. and say that everything you all do mean so much. what you are doing and what you are creating is nothing short of amazeing. thank you for keeping me as well as others alive. You ahve made such an impact on my life. you are an insparation to me and thousands of others. Thank you so much!
why? why do people let other people kill themselves why cant we reach out the signs are there and we can deny it but.its true. no one reached out to me, and all the signs were there. and when i realized how obvious it was and that no one dared to try..it made everything much worse
okay twloha helped me out of my time of darkness. i'm asking you guys, and people who support you for help now. as a highschool student, life isn't easy. don't you remember those days? one of our class mates commited suscide last night. i'm simply asking for thoughts and prayers for his family and friends during this horrible time.
heyy, how are you?? i finally got a TWLOHA shirt from hot topic woohooo:) and im wearing it. so it reminded me to stop by and leave some loooove! --->LOVE<----
everything about you rocks! from someone in recovery, what you do and stand for means a lot to me. both the magazine and i have just joined up with SocialVibe and are looking forward to promoting this cause on our sites as well as on facebook and myspace. if i can reach one person, i've made a difference and i thank you for this opportunity.
