What's everyone's go to music when there feeling down?

Mine is Frank turner- don't worry and get better

Guy is an amazing singer/song writer and because he's battles with depression it seems like he is talking directly to you

Frank Turner, yes! I've posted about "Get Better" a couple times in these forums, but no one really responded; that song saw me through a very, very rough time in my life, so I play it when I need a little motivation -- it is fantastic. "Don't Worry" is the track I like best on his most recent record. He's such a good songwriter; in some ways, his older stuff reminds me a lot of Billy Bragg, another favorite of mine.

I tend to listen to more melancholy songs by a variety of artists when I'm feeling sad, but one upbeat song that cheers me when I'm down is "Plea From A Cat Named Virtute" by The Weakerthans (though I can't listen to the full trilogy of songs narrated by said cat without being reduced to a puddle of tears).

Basically anything by Tom Petty. Dude just has a way of calming me down and cheering me up.

Music is great!! Sometimes I go periods of time where I don’t listen to much, and then I realize how badly I miss it. I always feels so moving to listen to my favorite songs after a break.

My favorites during anxiety/depression are individual songs. “Love” by Lana Del Ray, “hanging on” by Ellis Goulding. One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard is Anthem Lights cover of “Demons” by imagine dragons. It’s so moving and perfect when I’m sad.
