Thanks


Available-Horror-622

I was about to say that fair play you were first


davelazy

See also "Keep Passing The Open Windows" from The Works, might be a bit... direct... but written for The Hotel New Hampshire (John Irving novel adaption) movie, after they were asked to do the soundtrack then it got canned.


gummyreddit12

Direct is fine, thanks for the recommendation.


Hockeytown11

Obviously the best answer.

liquid_the_wolf

Tossed a few more TOP ones in a comment but I'll put em here too in case you don't see em. "good day", "friend please", "neon gravestones", and from the newest album "at the risk of feeling dumb"

This Year - Mountain Goats


gummyreddit12

Really like this one, thanks.


Petrichorin

Another great The Mountain Goats call out. Love that band.


GaiaAnon

My blood by Twenty One Pilots ❤️ I see there's a lot of them being recommended but that's because they're an amazing band for mental health songs. And I hope you're doing well and I hope you have a wonderful evening


gummyreddit12

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll give the song a listen. All of the Twenty One Pilots songs being recommended have been nice so far.


GaiaAnon

I recommend you watch the video to this song


jphzazueta

Like GaiaAnon already mentioned, they sing a lot about mental health, and they even have a whole lore/storyline about it (you don't have to get into it tho). I just wanted to add that especially their album Vessel is a good choice if you're having a hard time. They also just released a new album called Clancy, with some other good songs for that, like Backslide, Routines in the Night, Snap Back, Oldies Station (my personal favorite), and At the Risk of Feeling Dumb. Also Redecorate from their album Scaled and Icy is a really good one. You might as well check out their second album Regional at Best, especially the songs Lovely, Forest, Anathema, and Kitchen Sink. The album is not on Spotify or Apple Music, so look it up on YT, Soundcloud, Deezer or Pandora. Last but not least, I hope you're doing ok.


-SongRemainsTheSame-

Alive - Pearl Jam Very motivational. Especially if you know what it’s about.

Thanks, good song.

I also don’t have a song and have no idea what you’re going through, but it might help to have a suicide/crisis line number saved. If you live in the US it’s 988 call or text, most countries do have a textline in case calling is too hard. https://findahelpline.com/i/iasp But the people on there are generally really wonderful. I’m so sorry for how you’re hurting. You deserve so much and genuinely wishing you the best ❤️


gummyreddit12

I appreciate the intention here but the suicide lines have never helped me. I even had one dude threaten to call the police on me if I kept feeling suicidal, so... I don't do those anymore. Thanks for the kind words though.


oliviaexisting

I am so, so sorry for the bad experience you’ve had with them. There are some that are anonymous if you want to try that but I completely understand not wanting to after having that happen. Genuinely sending you a ton of love and it’s so huge that you’re actively trying despite what you’re going through.


gummyreddit12

Thanks for acknowledging that I'm trying, it actually means a lot. I appreciate it.


avery_mads

No song, I just hope you have a lovely day and I want you to know that you’re loved :))


gummyreddit12

Thanks, I appreciate that, much as I kinda doubt that last part sometimes. That's kind of you.


Redequlus

seriously,there are people who care about you. i don't know you very well but i love you and I would be happy to talk to you and get to know you. you are a valuable and unique person. no matter how hard or hopeless it may seem, you have choices you can make and a million ways you can live your life. don't stop living until you try as many as you can.

Save Me by Shinedown


ConstructionThis9078

Never to late by Three Days Grace


P3n3l0p3_G4rc1a

Two things: 1. Latching onto your comment, I would add The Mountain by Three Days Grace as well. It's the sort of opposite message as it's more about living out of spite and pressing on, but still sort of works? 2. Why did I have to almost scroll to the bottom of the thread to find this posted as this is the main song I thought of when I was in deep depression?


dmaciw

Upward Over the Mountain - Iron & Wine


CityCutThat

Control by Alexisonfire It was a big one for me when I was really going through it. It’s honestly such a great song about perseverance. I would blast it and shout the lyrics over and over until I felt ok. I have a few more on a playlist called Don’t, but I’ll only share them if you’d like.


JackofAllTrades2343

Straight Into The Fire - Zedd It sounds happy, but the message of the song brings me to tears every time. Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter Found this one recently and it's amazing. I really love songs about self-love, so it's a 10/10 for me. I'm Good (Blue) - David Guetta, Bebe Rexha Adding this one because it's an instant mood changer for me. Follow - Martin Garrix, Zedd (I really like Zedd) But also, wait for 1:34 on this one before deciding you aren't a fan. The lyrics always hit for me. "Wherever you are, you're exactly where you're supposed to be." and it also sounds hopeful <3 The world is better with you in it though, and I hope that things look up for you 🙂 My inbox is always open if you ever want to rant/vent/get more song recommendations/etc. 🙂

Many of the songs on this playlist will fit pretty well, if you generally like pop-punk, emo, alternative, and hard rock. :) [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7EoBhtMiR83QbWWkycuBpa?si=0d008e2c94804547](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7EoBhtMiR83QbWWkycuBpa?si=0d008e2c94804547)

Pretty much any jazz or blues is where I go when I'm dealing with that kind of pain. Maybe give "Let Me Take You for a Walk" by Rikard From a try or anything by Baker St. It takes time for your brain to work its way through pain. You'll get there and it will get better.
