Music That Keeps You Going

[It's Me]

Hi, so I don't know if this is allowed here or not but here goes.
I was having a bit of 'me time' with my iPod on shuffle and have realised how many of the songs I now actually understand the lyrics and the meaning of them.

I was just wondering what music you find helps you or you can relate to - anything that reflects you or your emotions, absolutely anything (I'm quite nosey and really want some new music that I can relate to!!)

Some of the stuff I found I could relate most to is:
I'm not dead - P!nk
The Great Escape - P!nk
Hurt - Christina Aguilera
I Miss Her - Jessie J
Up In Flames - Coldplay
Fix You - Coldplay
We Like to Love - Gary Barlow
Dying Inside - Gary Barlow
Skyscraper - Demi Lovato

Just curious and kind of intrigued :)

Might try a search for threads about music, there's been some great discussions. My favorite is Peter Murphy, "Memory Go" is the song that taught me how to forgive. Pink Floyd has quite a few applicable songs, 'Keep Talking' and 'Shine On Your Crazy Diamond' are a good start. There's a Grateful Dead song called 'He's Gone' that means a lot to me- they wrote it after a band member's father scammed them out of some money, it reminds me be happy that I'm not dealing with that kind of shady stuff anymore.

Like above
Pink Floyd: Keep Talking, Shine on You Crazy Diamond,Keep Talking, Coming Back to Life, The Wall Album has several for me
Mumford and Son: The Cave; Timshel... ok... most of the Sigh No More album.
TV On The Radio:Family Tree
There's more but that's all I can think of right now....

When I was younger, and either going through my trauma, or just recently post trauma, I would lay in my bed and listen to Elton John. His music had a way of soothing the pain inside of me

John Prine-Souvenirs, Hello in There, Lake Marie, Taking a Walk, That's the Way that the World goes Round

With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive

And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

-Morcheeba, "Just Enjoy the Ride"
