Until that day, remember to never give up. Hardships are soil, bad days are the sun, and sweat and tears give nourishing water to a seed that will birth a beautiful field where you can reap those dreams a hundred times over."-Charity Alyse, Other Side of the Tracks
"It makes its own wind that lifts you up and lets you ride on its current. Sometimes you’re up, and then sometimes you’re down; but the ride is amazing. Then there’s the blues. It tells a story that sticks with you, it teaches you life lessons. Rock and roll preaches this sermon on rebellion with an out-of-this-world vocalist who doesn’t give a crap what the world thinks. And hip-hop, it really gives a voice to the poets many usually don’t pay attention to. All this music has a story, and you don’t have to pick up a book and read about it to understand it. You just need to listen."-Charity Alyse, Other Side of the Tracks
