Stressors/Pressures of Everyday Life

Hell is for children by Pat Benetar. A hauntingly sad song about child abuse

Help! - The Beatles 

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

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

"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

       by The Animals

And there were all of those tragedy songs that became so popular in the early 60's. Listening to the radio could get down right depressing! Thank goodness The Beatles came along in '64 and changed all of that. They were a sorely needed breath of fresh air. No wonder we still love them!
