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

I Can Never Go Home Anymore: Shangri-Las (the pressures and stresses of the mother-daughter relationship led this daughter to make a now-regretted decision).

Some days are diamonds by John Denver

"Some days are diamonds,some days are stones

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones

Some days are diamonds,some days are stones"......

Where the river flows by Collective Soul. Personal angst and words by others can be brutal

My first thought was "Can't Get No Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones.

Crawling by Linkin Park. A song about the pull of things out of your control that makes you feel like you're crawling in your own skin. They kind of scream a bit but the message comes through loud and clear
