In May 2010, I established the essence of Set List - anything music and in any format - article posts, YouTube videos, affiliate marketing, and so on. Ten years later, the essence of Set List remains.
Inspired is about anything music that holds personal meaning to the listener, especially for emotional reasons that inspire positive hope and outlook.
In this launch edition, my inspiration is "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne.

"Keep Holding On" is an inspired song to me because at the time of its release, I was in emotional distress. I was torn between college schoolwork and a family crisis. I struggled with school and I was in a functional depression to cope with the crisis. I became somewhat anorexic and lost an unhealthy amount of weight in a very short period of time. When I first heard "Keep Holding On," I felt for the first time a sense of hope and, at the end of the day, a positive outlook. Life will get better and strength will find its way.
