Hi!

What are some songs that bring you back to the core of being alive & calm anxiety?

Some songs make me emotional because it feels like they've distilled my humanity down into a tidy little bottle. They make me feel magically small, for reasons I can't pinpoint.

A thread!

The harmonies in this have a way of cracking my ribs open and pouring in light which when combined with the lyrics, feel like they're talking about every moment that ever graced earth.

This is on my Discover Weekly & inspired this thread. I have a weird relationship with the concept of God (grandfather was a reverend). This song put it well.

"time's a cosmic river that we measure to make sense of where we're going."

This calms the shit out of me when it comes to COVID.

I go for walks and I look at the grass and the sun and I listen to this and feel the wind and I feel small and safe in my complete transience on this earth.

I can't tell you how many:
Train Windows
Tram Windows
Car Windows
Study Windows

I have taken a moment and looked out of while listening to this song. Not a single lyric needed.

There's a few more, but gimme some of yours okay thanks.
