Title: Music That Has Helped You Post by: Quagmire on Friday, July 31, 2020, 08:30:07 Following on from the discussion in the Anxiety thread about how music has helped - I thought it would be a good idea to share music that has helped us all.
That may be at times of grief, depression or even music that has helped us sleep. I will start off with a couple:- I don’t know why, but this is always my go to song when I’m feeling down. https://youtu.be/3no6pnBjH58 This is the song I listen to most evenings when struggling to sleep. https://youtu.be/lAwYodrBr2Q Title: Re: Music That Has Helped You Post by: smalltowngypsymassacre on Friday, July 31, 2020, 08:42:41 I'm one of the lucky ones who has never really had to deal with depression or anxiety myself, although I've been around it for a good portion of my life and I know how hugely important music can be in helping ease people through it. However, when I do get my low patches there is one guy I seem to gravitate towards, and that's Buckethead. Here is my favourite song of his

Honest lyrics, even if they aren't what people want to hear. It's not that it's a fairly sad song, I think it is the fact that the writer (Lou Barlow) is totally open. There's no bullshit and I think you (I) need that when I feel like shit. His voice reminds of Nick Drake in this, who I've enjoyed for a long while now (discovered his music at about 16). Which will come as no shock as I also enjoy Elliott Smith's music too.
You would not really think On Fire was written in '96, amongst all the grunge, indie and 'Three Lions'. To me it's rather a timeless track, I slip the headphones on and turn it up :) https://youtu.be/dl-CcC7xRAw Title: Re: Music That Has Helped You Post by: Wobbly Bob on Saturday, August 1, 2020, 00:01:13 Reading's finest are recommended for pain relief.
