As I’m coming to two years of the worst times of my life, both personally and professionally, I’ve noticed there are a lot of rock songs out there that deal with the Stressors/Pressures of everyday life. I thought it would be a great topic to explore. Songs with pressure in the title are obvious, but I’m hoping this will bring out other, more subtle songs that address these issues. I will start with one of my all time favorites in this area-

”We gotta get out of this place” by The Animals

    This is a different song than the one you've been hearing. It's about someone who's been through a rough time, but fighting back. 

     

    Rise Up  -  Cliff Richard

     

    Yeah, yeah
    All my life I've been a dreamer
    Some might say a lucky one, oh
    For every dream come true, many come undone
    But I know, yes, I know

    Yesterday the clouds were darkest, yeah
    I could not see the end of it, oh no
    But something inside of me never learnt to quit
    And I know, yes, I know

    (Rise up) They're never gonna break me down
    (Rise up) They're never gonna take me down
    (Rise up) You know I'm gonna rise up feeling stronger
    (Rise up) Even when the night is long
    (Rise up) The light of love was burning strong
    (Rise up) You know I'm gonna rise up even stronger
