I’m after some new songs to play. I’ve realised music helps me with my anxiety, but I need some corkers please to lose myself in.

I’m mid 40s, have a wide range I like from Guns and Roses to Prefab Sprout, Beethoven’s 9th to Jason Donovan and Hmmm Bop and everything inbetween. Open to any suggestions. Hit me ... 😀

Avicii - Nights/Hey Brother/Wake Me Up

Bastille - Pompeii

Imagine Dragons - Radioactive/Believer

Are you sure Avici? Wake me up has very poignant words when you think of his suicide/depression
Disneycharacter · 06/08/2021 20:19

Years and Years... lot of their songs plus King of course.

90s Dance and Trance really lift you.

To chill, Einaudi takes you to another plane

London Grammar 1st and 3rd Albums

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 06/08/2021 21:31

Are you sure Avici? Wake me up has very poignant words when you think of his suicide/depression

But they’re wonderful songs? The OP said she wanted songs to lose herself in and those are great songs for that.

I mean, I can suggest Kylie’s I Should Be So Lucky if that’s the vibe you think the OP is going for…
