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?
MCR especially songs like the ghost of you and cancer
Carly Rae Jepsen and Switchfoot
Erykah Badu's music has helped me through a lot, especially when I was growing up
Another Light by Red Vox. I was so lucky to see them tour for the first time and it was like a religious experience. I can safety say that band is my top comfort band. If you want specific songs it’s Pale Blue Dot, Tell me or Elessar
oooh i've got a few!!
missus morality by bar italia
milk by sweet trip (makes me cry like a baby)
slow like honey by fiona apple
listening to music and having a good cry about things always makes me feel better :,) maybe it seems counterproductive but it works for me!
@ateabigsteak I don't think that's counter productive at all!
The windows XP installation music literally helped me get through the worst my depression in 2022-2023.
I don’t know how, thanks Stan LePard!
Any song by mor ve ötesi in general.
I recommend the band to anyone who likes alternative (Turkish) rock !!
honestly, I physically can't listen to music when I'm doing that poorly. I have even given that as a hint to my friends and family, if I'm unable to listen to music, I am doing VERY bad. very very bad. When my brother passed away, I could only listen to the Rush counterparts album, everything else made me sick.
@Nimthiriel if I'm being honest, I've been there. That's bad. Real bad.
@Cranky Old Witch The only good thing about it is when you can finally listen to music again. Just pure bliss
I'd say probably Don't Cry by Guns N' Roses, or Orphic Hymn to Apollo by Queenie 🤍 for albums, Who Really Cares by TV Girl
lil peep songs and cigarettes after sex songs! :)
I put on some "vintage" Mississippi Blues.
Same, old friend. Same. 😊
green day. i know its weird but i needed to finish american idiot before i died.
My favourite artist is a underrated one, AXEL WAHLIN from Malmö, Sweden.
He creates instrumental electronic music that I just love to escape to with my headset

let it be by Beatles
@Urfavmiaaa Dear gods, yes.
I can't tell you how many times I've turned to that song - especially tye album version with George's killer solo - just for its healing properties.
I wouldn't say albums but Disco music definitely helps me get into a brighter mood!
My university professor told me to always listen to upbeat music if i am ever sad or anxious since you have a big response to music :)
If I had to pick though, I would say CHIC
hold on till may by pierce the veil. that song and i have been through the trenches together
Adrianne lenker and big theif in general has got me through these past two years i honestly cannot pin point a song or album but live at revolution hall genuinely changed smth in me when i listened to it and double infinity
@Monroe / Fox this is real though.
Sometimes, things are so bad you put on a particular album, or a particular list of songs from an artist or whatever, because it's somehow comforting, or cathartic, or whatever.
You can't even really 'hear' a particular song, and you have that album/playlist on a loop like, just playing and playing through the days to weeks while you maneuver through life a bit like a zombie just trying to get through it.
Slowly, that music seeps in like a warm hug and grinds away the stress little by little, helping you to cope and then helping you to go one, and then helping you to live again.
