songs for bipolar

Hey there @Jenn4,

I love this thread that you've started. I've been trying to think of songs that help me process different emotions and I'm still thinking...

In the meantime, I really like the mood of this song, it has a sense of 'wonder' to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b4F_ppjnKU

Does anyone else have any songs that they play when they're going through a tough time, or to inspire them, or get through the day?

@Former-Member Yes Fleetwood Mac!!!! Temporary One! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Ey7x5e6cw

Try Biily Joel, "Summer highland falls" & "You may be right."

"Madness" by Madness.

"Rock and roll is where I hide" by Dave Graney n the coral snakes.

Ben Lee "Catch my disease" topical but maybe bad taste?

Bernard Fanning "Wish you well".

Def fx "Psychoactive summer".

Skunk anansie "I can dream"

Insurge"Political prisoners"

Swoop"Apple eyes".

"Addicted to base" Josh Abrahams

"Another lonely day" Ben Harper

Enjoy!

Thanks @Mex ! Really appreciate it! Will definitely check these out. Music is a godsend and the food of love for sure! Solidarity also goes pretty well 🙂

I love Bernard Fanning's Wash me clean too!

Also i've added,

The Crowd - The Cat Empire

Take Me to the River - any version but i like The Commitments and Talking Heads'

Only Light - The Cat Empire

❤️ 🙂

@Mex , @Former-Member , Madness by Muse also good!

And Rehab by Amy Winehouse!

When I was a kid growing up in the 60s, Johnny O'Keefe was one of the very few

people in Australia who went public with his mental health struggles.

Well I can't do nothin' with the blues I got
But sing, sing, sing
I guess the only thing to keep me from-a blowing my top
Is to sing, sing, sing
I'm gonna sing a little song that has a rockin' beat
I'm gonna sing (sing) sing (sing) si-i-ing
Then a-tell-a my troubles to the friends I meet
I'm gonna sing, sing, sing

@Mex these are great! listening now! up to Ben Lee. I feel much less alone from hearing them and the complex perspectives of their writiers and from connecting here on the forum 🙂

@Jo-anneJoy , legend.

@Jo-anneJoy , @Mex , @Former-Member

Currently watching the live Anzac Day concert with the fam. Reckless by Australian Crawl and Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors. Great songs

Hi @Jenn4 see also Missy Higgins "Steer" and "Sweet arms of a tune"

@Mex yes and yes and yes. Sweet arms of a tune helps me to be in love with my man on the wrong continental coast. My life is like guy Sebastian's battle scars right now! 😅 but I have hope
