An ode to the greates boy band of all time - The Backstreet Boys

17th May 2018, Youtube notification - "Backstreet Boys New Single - Don't Go Breaking My Heart"

I owe my strength and my recovery from depression to the Backstreet Boys and their songs, and since 2012 I have wished to tell this to them in some way or the other. I missed their concert in 2011 in India, because I was still weak to leave the comforts of my room, and its my bad luck that they haven't toured India since. If there's anything I want more than good health and fortune for my family and friends, it is to tell Brian, Nick, Alex, Houghie and Kevin of what they mean to me and thousands more just like me. 

Their new single (which I have been waiting for five years) rejuvenated my inner strength and took me on a trip down the memory lane on my road to recovery. I know it's hard to even believe that one could get out of depression, but there's nothing that love can't heal. BSB's love for music, their love for their fans, for their family, friends - which is quite evident in their songs - did that for me. Their love and passion healed my wound and gave me hope and made me the woman I am today. 

And this is the least I could do for them, i.e.: a tribute to them a blog post. Although I do wish for a day to come when I can tell this to them directly.

I hope this post gives us an oppurtunity to reach out to the people fighting froom a depression and a way to heal our souls as well.

All my love

The Indian Soul
