in Chit-Chat
I'm looking for music that I'd want to listen to if I'm having a bad day but don't really want to be cheered up. Sometimes it feels good to cry it out and just face our feelings without trying to tell ourselves everything is ok.
Because sometimes everything isn't ok...

Any song suggestions? No heavy metal/hard rock, etc, please.

    Great suggestions, guys...

    Something very therapeutic about listening to songs that match your mood and just letting yourself cry/let it out. I appreciate your contribution.

    I used to have a playlist like that, then my Itunes burped and deleted all my playlists :(
    I still remember some favorites though ...

    "Say Something" A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera ... something so melancholy about that one
    "Gravity" Sarah Barielles
    "Keep Breathing" Ingrid Michelson
    "Deliver Me" Sarah Brightman
    "The Fear You Won't Fall" Joshua Radin
    "Falling Slowly" (mine was one from an American Idol performance, not sure if it's still available)
    "Never Enough" Rebecca Lavelle

    I taped this song on the day my daughter was born;

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-IZ6yUXgIo

    It's on cassette. I am going to give it to her when she marries. She'll be 21 in October.
