Stressors/Pressures of Everyday Life
As Iโm coming to two years of the worst times of my life, both personally and professionally, Iโve 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 Iโm 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-
โWe gotta get out of this placeโ by The Animals

This is a different song than the one you've been hearing. It's about someone who's been through a rough time, but fighting back.
Rise Up - Cliff Richard
Yeah, yeah
All my life I've been a dreamer
Some might say a lucky one, oh
For every dream come true, many come undone
But I know, yes, I know
Yesterday the clouds were darkest, yeah
I could not see the end of it, oh no
But something inside of me never learnt to quit
And I know, yes, I know
(Rise up) They're never gonna break me down
(Rise up) They're never gonna take me down
(Rise up) You know I'm gonna rise up feeling stronger
(Rise up) Even when the night is long
(Rise up) The light of love was burning strong
(Rise up) You know I'm gonna rise up even stronger

"Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers (RIP)
"Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away"

"Alone Again (Naturally)"
by Gilbert O'Sullivan
"Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally"

Takin' Care of Business
BTO
You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

I just went back through the list looking for this song, and didn't find it. It seems like such an obvious choice, maybe we all assumed it was listed! If I did overlook it, apologies!

Shine on you crazy diamond Pink Floyd
This song addresses the stress of drugs,fame and mental illness on Syd Barrett, hence why the name of the song uses his initials. I read about him on Wikipedia, a tragic yet fascinating story of his life.
@MaVolta Ditto on John Lennon!!
