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

    Down In The Boondocks: Billy Joe Royal (he's from the wrong side of town; he's in love with his [rich] boss's daughter; he's saving money to be acceptable to her father; until then they steal away to be together; quite a recipe for stress).

    Broken Wings - Mr Mister

     

    Didn't know this until I looked it up just now. It's about the band recovering from cocaine addiction.
