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

Another Day: Paul McCartney (stressors can include a bleak, sad and depressive life, like the woman in this song appears to have).

That's a good one, alright. Loved the Elvis version, too.

And speaking of Elvis - Suspicious Minds

Jealousy makes for a stressful situation on both parties.

"Against the Wind"

by Bob Seger& The Silver Bullet Band

"The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home, and I
Guess I lost my way

There were oh-so-many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again...

Against the wind..."

Steppin' Stone by the Monkees. Classic song about the stress of a crappy relationship then being tossed aside after you are used

I Who Have Nothing: Ben E. King (pressing his nose up against the window of a fancy restaurant looking at some rich guy having dinner with the girl he loves but will never get....that's stress).

Tragedy by The Bee Gees. Totally different song then the Thomas Wayne tune mentioned earlier.
"In a world of tears I slowly drown".......

"When you lose control and you got no soul"........

"With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere".....

Love causes a ton of stress, in my book second only to money or the lack of it..........

Go to sleep by Roxette. RIP Marie Fredriksson, half of the duo, who died Monday after a 17 year battle with brain cancer. Performed until 2016. An amazing person with an amazing voice.

"And life's a tough principal who won't reward the losers, your name is on the tea cup, There's nothing I can do".......
