Heyo! Music-lovers, come out!

As we know music can help us to get through things and inspires us to keep moving forward. There are songs that are highly relatable and could express the emotions we're feeling when we, ourselves, couldn't even find the right words to describe them.

I created this thread so we can share the songs which have helped us in overcoming the struggles we've faced for the past years and gonna be facing in the future as 2017 is nearing its end and 2018 is approaching.

You can list any songs you want to share but please be mindful of the triggering and explicit ones. Just a suggestion, you can also put the song titles and artists on hyperlinks just like the list below, but it's up you!

Here are some random songs from my personal playlist I usually listen to:

Carry on by Fun

Maybe the Night by Ben&Ben

Stone Walls by We The Kings

Good times by All Time Low

This is Gospel (Piano Version) by Panic! At The Disco

Broken Home (Woke up waiting's cover) by 5SOS

Stay by Mayday Parade

Scars by SayWeCanFly

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

Human (Acoustic Version) by Jon Bellion

Comfortable by Lauv

The whole album Evolve by Imagine Dragons is actually about recovery from mental illness and every song is so inspiring -- specifically Believer and Rise Up. Imagine Dragons songs always have some sort of relatable aspect to them, for anyone who's struggled with depression. Evolve is about the lead singer Dan Reynolds overcoming his depression and it (mostly Believer) really helped me with mine.

Some other songs that make me want to keep fighting:

- Panic Station (Muse)

- Footsteps (Go Higher) (Pop Evil)

- Dig Down (Muse)

- Centuries (Fall Out Boy)

- It Has Begun (Starset)

For kids/teens whose parents are divorced, James TW's "When You Love Someone" is a touching song.

The music video is great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bf3CJZ4hvg

Every single song by Avicii, I cannot describe how his music helps me. For those couple of minutes I just get lost into the song and forget about all of my problems. I love him so much with all my heart and I miss him too... RIP heart
