what songs or albums are you listening to during hard times?
I don't mean 'sad day' type of hard times, I mean 'not sure how I'm going to make it through this' hard times.
What albums got you through another day?
Maybe you had it on a bit of a loop for days and weeks while trying to get through the bad times?
The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats, especially the song This Year :)
I'm seeing them next month and if they play that song I WILL be crying
@Sol dang, how you gonna keep it together through the concert? 😮
@Sol I love the Mountain Goats!!! This year is on repeat for me too
Oohh..I listen to Ween a bit, honestly. "waving my dick in the wind" and "Mollusk" just..I dunno. They kind of help me think through those times and try to pull myself together. I'm not too sure why! It just..helps.
@🦖`🧪/K3_D0D0_b1rd\🥼`🦤 dang, I didn't even consider Ween for this task! Gonna keep that in the back pocket!
I actually have a playlist created for when things get heavy for me. It's my Not Doing Well playlist. It has a mix amount of songs on it and it helps out a lot. It's set up to where others can add songs to it and it's awesome.
@classic_livvy well sure, but what's on it? What're your gotos?
@Cranky Old Witch lol, I was avoiding that, I get judged for my music a lot, I'm working on not letting it bother me but it still does sort of. Lol, it as P!NK, Wynonna, Kesha, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz and more. If you're on Spotify you can add to it 😊
@classic_livvy I frequently listen to music that's 80 or 90 years old. What's more, I post some of the most seemingly ridiculous stuff ever ever ever on this site.
Not only will you hear NO judgement from me, but I'll FIGHT ANYONE who comes after YOU over taste in music!
Couple of things I've learned about music over the long decades:
For me, there are only two kinds of music.
Only two.
Music I like ... and ...
Music I don't like .... yet!
The other thing I've learned is that taste in music is a lot like farts. Your own is 'okay' and everyone else's stinks!
@Cranky Old Witch thank you ❤️
When I think back to the hardest time I've ever had in my life, it wasn't black metal or anything that folks assume it would be for me; it was seriously Depeche Mode and Q Lazzarus.
@Kommando Mutiliid yeah, it be like that sometimes
You know it.
vanished by crystal castles
Care by TEMPOREX
idunno theres just something about them that sound comforting in comparison to all the loud music i listen to.
Hmm… when I think back to my worst times what kept me going was either raw black metal or techno (mostly detroit techno and industrial hardcore)
IN THE SIGN OF SATAN - DEVOID OF LIFE.... FOREVER@ENDLESSVOID those are genres. What are your goto songs or albums?
Inanimate sensation - Death Grips
When i first listened to it, it felt like a slap to the face but the kind that wakes you up
@GillFilmReviews21 I think there's a difference between listening music to fill the space so your brain is a bit switched off vs listening to either engage with your sadness or heal from it (lime with the Ween song).
I'm sorry to hear about your dog's passing. Even more sad to think I'll never get the chance to meet him in this incarnation.
this was magical for a single evening and then never again (•ω•`)
I love a sad song, allows me to indulge rather than bottling it up and making it worse or prolonging it. Makes me feel like I'm not alone, if someone can masterfully turn it into art and share it.
I Threw Glass at My Friend's Eyes and Now I'm on Probation by Destroy Boys was one for me, for a bit more of a specific issue,
It's Okay, I Wouldn't Remember Me Either by Crywank is another,
One More Light by Linkin Park always gets me too, if not for the additional sadness it inspires and a resolution to not hurt people in a similar way. Reminds me I have an impact on those around me.
