Stressors/Pressures of Everyday Life

BeatleloverKT — Sun, 29 Sep 2019 17:07:19 GMT

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

Paul Simon has a genius capacity for looking at problems and difficult situations, and how we use our coping mechanisms to get through them. Two of his songs quickly come to mind, though there are many more in his catalogue.

I Am A Rock

Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall

And maybe include a song for the person who stands by us in our times of troubles . . .

Bridge Over Troubled Water

All Simon & Garfunkel (of course).
