What did B*W mean to you?

[Robin Morbid]

This is getting a little personal but if its ok that I ask...what did B*Witched mean to you?
What kept you liking them,besides the fact that their music was epic and they were an amazing influence on people?
Did they or their music strike you in a personal way?

Not to sound emo or anything,but the reason why I bring it up is because I'm nearing an unpleasant anniversary which I'm not willing to get into on a public forum,but my thing is,their music got me through one of the darkest times of my life that until recently I was hardly able to talk about without completely melting down. My biggest fear of sex and guys,and a lot of the things that ever put me in that dark place were resolved a lot of the time by listening to their music and zoning out. So even long after they were dropped by their label and stopped creating awesome music as a group,I can still find my happy place in songs like "It was Our Day","I shall be there" and "To You I belong",among the many others.
Thats what they mean to me,and thats sort of why I'm still hanging around the forum.

So what about you?

i dont really know for me i guess they were the first band that didnt seem to be all fake and made out to be people they weren't. they were always very genuine and i guess the music being aimed at my generaation helped too.

As for b*witched getting me thought hard times i dont really remember because all can recall is being happy because id just bought a new magazine with an interview in or a new single but the Ms. Lynch music definately helped me out. id got to the point where i had quite my job and thinking what the f**k is the point life sucks then along comes Ms. Lynch and suddenly there was a something to look forward to again.

Honestly, they brought innocent pop music and real people together.
(I don't think I'd have liked them if they were just a carbon copy of another band)

I think that, at the end of the day, I liked them because the music was enjoyable and I could sing along (if I had the guts). I don't think anything too terrible has happened to me yet, so I can't lie & say that they brought me out of the shadows of life, but the music did help cheer me up when I was sad.

I've said this before, I did not really feel them that much when I first heard them. I thought C'est La Vie was annoyingly poppy (I was going through a 70's Rock phase at the time, as well) and, sorry to say, Edele's voice grated on me a bit. That sounds mean. But the Irish influences in their music got my attention, so, I bought the album on a whim. And I found I couldn't get the tunes out of my head once I heard them, so I wound up listening to nothing but B*witched for weeks. It never left my CD player. Eventually, they won me over with their happy, peppy music and Edele's voice began to sound like...angels or something, I don't know. It grew on me. I think...I just needed to hear it again. And I'll be d**ned if any one tells me she can't sing. (Also, she became my favorite.) Their down-to-Earth personas were also a huge factor in me becoming a fan. They seem like the kind of girls you could just hang with (if they'd had the time), and didn't come off as unapproachable, like a lot of these groups do. Even to this day. They never seemed narcissistic; like they'd let fame go to their heads. They were just normal girls who happened to have very public careers. So, in short, started out...not really that into them. Now, I can say without hesitation, I'm one of their biggest supporters, inside and outside of B*witched. It sounds strange, but I genuinely care a lot about them.

As for what they mean to me. Friendship. Connection. All that mushy sh*t. I wouldn't have met most of my online friends if it hadn't have been for my growing adoration and interest of B*witched, and, of course, the Internet, which housed many a fansite and forum where I met a lof of you lovely, lovely people. Also, the music still lifts my mood when I'm down. I don't want to listen to depressing music when I'm depressed. That just makes me more depressed. I want happy music. They provided that. They got my mind off of things that were stressing me out.
I owe a big thank you to them.
