I know some people struggle with expressing their feelings with words so this is another way to do it without words!

I live in Northern Ireland, yes probably similar age to Kenneth Branagh, in the 70's troubles etc, those were songs I could relate to, when really down Always look on the bright side of life appealed to us, the Norn Irelan dark sense of humour came to the surface and Lets work together almost a protest song, certainly relevant during the Troubles and beyond, regularly appreciated today [we need it sometimes?🙄] Ask Mr. Branagh I think he would agree!👍

Roxylox in reply to coolkitty1934

Why Worry is from the 80's, l suppose that would seem old fashioned to you lol. To me it seems like yesterday.

I must look yours up, never heard them l think, old age is creeping up fast, sigh......

coolkitty1934 in reply to Roxylox

well mine are kind of depressing-

Roxylox profile image
Roxylox in reply to coolkitty1934

In fact l relate to Misunderstood because IRL l get misunderstood and misjudged by many people.

Why Worry has a line about people doing and saying mean things so neither song is too positive

When my husband and I first met we both liked Katy Melua I think it was "Feeling Kind of Crazy" We liked it as we were both in the throse of LOVE. At the age of over 50. It was the first C.D. we bought.

Yes, some classic 60's songs ruined by association of 'terrible'😤🙄tv ad's, when you hear it all you can think of is 'house insurance', 'hamburgers', 'nappies', 'building societies', etc, not good memories! 🥴🥴

"Heavy" by Linkin Park when it comes to my issues. Even "Trojans" by Atlas Genius when I relate the subject (obviously a person) to my anxiety. When I'm looking to build on a good day or just general life, I've liked these:

"Superman" by Goldfinger : I heard this song when I was younger....a teenager. What's funny is the lyrics sound MORE pertinent to trying to be a superman now as a late 30's guy than anything a teenager or a typical early 20's person might interpret it.

"I Got Mine" by The Black Keys : Just powerful instrumental blues with a good gritty blues vibe. I feel some control....and being able to play it on guitar....it's a good vibe for me.

"Take On Me" by a-Ha : I've loved this song my entire life and I have no real reason other than I just love it.

"With or Without You" by U2. See above....it's just so chill and I love it.

"Always" by Blink-182....they're my favorite band and this song and music video makes me nostalgic and happy.

There's so much more, but these are some that hit home. I'll toss in "Sunflower" by Post Malone because that song has been a meditation type song for me. Slower, just easy going vocals. Relaxing. Music has been shown to be a great therapy for pain, depression, stress and more.....studies are constantly being done with it. Great topic to get a chance to share on, thanks :D

So many great songs, I'll listen to them all today.

Some are sad, and manage to describe how I feel better than I ever could myself. Others are "fighting songs", helping me find strength to carry on. And some are just kind of calming and comforting, like this one...

I guess he's mostly famous in Canada! 😀 He was in a band called Great Big Sea and I heard their song Ordinary Day, which is also about dealing with hard times...

I will survive - Cake’s version

This is all my opinion but the cover has a more of a direct tone to it than the original. Gloria Gainer’s version has an optimistic feel to it but Cake’s seems like the singer has the person right in front of him.

'Let it be' by The Beatles. "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be". I love this song.

one that is a favorite is by the EELS. I don't think I can put it here because it has a curse word in the title but it is beautiful. maybe I can write part of it.

" It's a Mother F*%^# r" The lead of this band has had MH issues and a lot of his are about that subject matter though none are as gentle as the one I listed above.

Little Boxes Pete Seegar and Mother's little Helper Rolling Stones

My two songs would have to be: Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse and Rainbow in the Dark by Dio. Two songs from different eras connected by a common theme.
