Music For What Ails You

A lot of us here have varying brain issues it seems. Music can be extremely therapeutic for me when my depression decides to ignore my meds and fuck with me. If there is one thing that helps me cope it's good music. Usually depressing music helps the most, like some kind of double negative turning into a positive. I don't know if it's because I can relate or if it's because I'm relieved to hear that someone else goes through similar mental issues.
So for me...it's depressing music. Maybe for you it's angry music or love songs? Whatever gets you through any brain problems you might have.
So here are some of my favorite go to songs when I'm feeling down.

There are a lot more but I'm not going to just make an OP of a hundred youtube links. Some of these songs found me when I was at a certain point in my life where the lyrics spoke to me. Others I can hear and just understand the pain in them.
Either way, I bet most of us have songs that help us through the tough times in our lives.
Let's share.

a good-ass album
And, oddly, lonely boy
And happy
for me has always been
2004's The Arcade Fire - In The Backseat
And sometimes crybaby bawling can aid ya.
That said sometimes you need something victorious and full of love.
Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Satchmo either fills my eyes with tears or puts a big ol' smile on my face.
Best vocal version:
Best solo:
Bonus David Bowie:
Edit: And immediately after typing this I find a new best. It's pretty low-fi, being a bootleg recording of a concert but oh my god the solo.
Pretty much the best version of this song
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
the randies - saw the light
agent sparks - red rover
rotten apples - real tuff
sahara hotnights - c'mon let's pretend
the reputation - to force a fate (there is a youtube for the full album that i super super super super recommend if you can't find it any other way)
My go-to "cry it out" song.
we are beautiful, we are doomed by los campesinos!
ryan adams' heartbreaker
and challengers, by the new pornographers
of them, only the first is still in regular rotation
e: it also occurred to me that i've seen each of these songs played live (though just with david rawlings and not ryan adams, in the case of the second)
Building Nothing Out of Something- Modest Mouse
Tramp- Sharon Van Etten, though really any Sharon Van Etten album.
Alligator- The National
Marry Me- St Vincent
Let Love In- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
This Kurt Vile song is one I've been listening to lately.
And some Open Mike Eagle
But of course there are a ton of other songs. Lots of Modest Mouse qualifies.
Out of Gas probably the most though.
but they're listening to every word I say
Amanda Palmer
KAYTRANADA - 99.9%
BadBadNotGood - IV
Justice - Woman
Childish Gambino - Awaken, My Love!
Glass Animals - Life Itself
and one of my faves that always makes me feel better
Portishead - Roads
Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday
The Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore
Mazzy Star - Look On Down From The Bridge
Blonde Redhead - Love or Prison
Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
(basically all of Back to Black)
A Great Big World - Say Something
Hamilton - Quiet Uptown
I wore out the tape and bought the CD
I also love Liz Phair
And her ever so dirty songs
if you can maintain a bad mood through this track you're made o' grumpier stuff than i
steam | xbox live: IGNORANT HARLOT | psn: MadRoll | nintendo network: spinach
3ds: 1504-5717-8252
I love the music video too.
Edit: Also, relevant to my last post in this thread:
and
I mean...mostly I've just been cycling through youtube and spotify for whatever I can find from them, but
I made a point of listening to Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 on repeat on New Year's Day after closing out 2016 with a whole lot of This Year
