I'm sure I'll get responses to this. it be odd not to. how many of you get hit right in the "feels" when "Numb Little Bug" by Em Beihold comes on. i know the song by heart and boy does it make you think. another song is "Serotonin" by Girl in Red. what songs do you personally connect with? does listening to them depress or empower you? Sometimes i find it nice that there is a famous song describing real life problems. get into the nitty gritty and honest truths of mental illness.

      I listen primarily to country... "One More Day" by Diamond Rio ( I think) always makes me cry. "Independence Day " by Martina McBride is one of the most empowering songs I know. My favorite is "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones. This may seem strange, but it's about a man who really keeps his word.

      Stick Season right now hits me in the feels as emotions surface about my day. I'm actually playing it on my ukulele at an open mic night.

        @transmancharlie Also 29 by Demi Lovato. As a survivor of grooming, I relate so hard

      i have probably heard that one, but not sure. Adding it to my list. Let me know what you think of Serotonin. I admire AJR's music and its relatability. I listen to NF as well. He raps but doesn't use any of the profanity and uncultured lyrics like other rappers. As for motivational music- usually songs like "90's kids, I Hate Disney, Happy Face, Netflix Trip," and other funny or nostalgic themed ones entertain me and boost my mood.

      Karma by AJR. motivates me knowing others know how I feel, and is able to put it into words. And it's a banger! I'll have to add serotonin to my Playlist

        @RemyCakes the good part is part of my morning ritual because it is the exact space of time for my coffee to be done
