Echo-pella: Songs to Take the Plunge of Courage To

We all understand the immense fear of doing something that requires us to give our all and even a piece of our soul. We have all been through that particular situation.

Imagine that you’re in a store- may it be picking out clothes or scanning through the chip aisle in a grocery store and suddenly, Katy Perry’s Roar crackles through the store speakers. More often than not, most people would be washed over with memories from their childhood or past with the mental imagine being more vivid the more enjoyable the song.
