Laying on my bed, earphones in, music up and I need more things to listen to, so far I've listened to:
Stand up from Harriet
This is me - keala settle
Rise up
Chariot

Next will be Everybody hurts by REM

What's your go to song for your mental health? Whether it's to make you cry, cheer you up, empowerment. I'll listen to every single suggestion.

Thanks in advance!

@Graphista

Something inside so strong - Labi Siffre

Not any more modern, sorry! But a great song nonetheless.

Someone on the hip hop thread said it's the horns which are so uplifting! Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy.

It's gateway hip hop. You may find your life is changed!
