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

Apeman by the Kinks. Leave it to Ray Davies to come up with this solution to everyday stress.

I also like SIXTEEN TONS by Tennesee Ernie Ford and WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE by the Animals plus WORKING IN THE COAL MINE by Lee Dorsey.

They all have great beats and lyric although from 3 different decades.

They were before my time or I was very young.

Oldies but Goodies - just like we AARP folks!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, All
