Medicinal Music

Music is important. I think that’s probably true for most people, though maybe for different reasons. For me, it changes. Some days I need complexity and depth to feed my soul, other days I need to relax or have a laugh, sometimes I use it to connect with other people.

This week, I need to feel better. I’ve been feeling down too often recently, and music is a great way to influence my mood. So I’ve put together a playlist of songs to help, like Tylenol for a bothersome headache.

Creating this playlist didn’t go as expected, and I learned a few things. The result is this list of 97 songs that, for one reason or another, heal some part of me.
