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-

    To Daddy - Emmylou Harris

     

    This is a touching song about a father left to raise his children when his wife leaves suddenly, but his wife never gave him a clue that she was so unhappy - a failure to communicate.
