Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)

This is a song from the very well known singer Kelly Clarkson. She met the spotlight when winning the contest - American Idol (season 1) - where she sung a beautiful and strong song called A Moment Like This.


This song is the second single from Kelly Clarkson's fifth album, Stronger. 


The writers of the song were probably inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche quote: That which does not kill us makes us stronger. (You've already heard it for sure)

First of all let me say this is one of those songs that I don’t know why I like it so much.

But I have a clue: the lyrics.

Whenever we are going through a tough time there is always someone telling us that we are strong enough to deal with it, that we are gonna make it. Well what people also know is, at least after dealing with it, that going trough certain things makes us stronger than ever. Maybe it’s supposed to hurt to be stronger, I don’t know. But speaking from my own experience, whenever I’m down I get back better than I was before. I think we discover more about ourselves – how strong we are – when difficult obstacles appear in our way. It could another cliche but it's not. It's true. Be strong, things get better, eventually.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes you a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
