🎧 If Our Feelings Have a Soundtrack

You know that one song that feels like a warm hug? Or the one that makes you dance around your room like you’re the main character? Or maybe the one you sing out loud like no one’s listening, or the slow tune that makes you cry… not because you’re broken, but because you’re finally letting go?

Music has this quiet magic.

It doesn’t need to fix anything.
It just helps you feel.
It holds space.
It grounds.
And sometimes, it lifts.

That’s why music is more than just background noise and it can be a real, powerful way to cope.

To regulate.
To reconnect with ourselves when we feel off track.

:light_bulb: So… let’s build a community playlist, one that comforts, uplifts and helps us feel less alone:

Drop one (or more) songs that do this for you:

:musical_notes: Comforts you when you need a soft place to land
:musical_notes: Uplifts your energy and mood
:musical_notes: Helps you slow down and stay in the moment
:musical_notes: Reminds you who you are
:musical_notes: Just… lets you feel, without judgment

Whether you’re coping quietly or supporting someone else, let this thread be a space for soundwaves of care, connection, and healing.

:sparkles: I’ll go first: One of my go-to classics is “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi. It never fails to remind me I have agency and strength.

Now it’s your turn… what’s your song? :sunflower:

Thank you for this post! :folded_hands:
Music does something gentle to the heart… especially on days when words fall short

I will go: “Unstoppable” by Sia- a classic for inner strength days :dizzy:

Yesss, “Unstoppable” is such a main character energy anthem! There’s something about Sia’s voice and lyrics that really hits the soul, especially when we need that extra push. May we all have days where we feel exactly that way :sunflower:

This is such a great post! Thanks @ScribblingSunflower and @Moodini_6 for sharing your songs.

Music is incredibly powerful. It can motivate you, help you de-stress, and support you in processing and regulating your emotions.

When I feel the need to be heard and reassured—or simply want to listen to a good song—I often turn to Next Semester by Twenty One Pilots.

I can’t wait to see what others share :blush:

One of my comfort songs is Blossom by Porter Robinson. It’s a gentle ballad that Porter dedicated to his wife, Rika. The way the song is just so vulnerable and raw, yet so gentle and loving will never fail to get me :face_holding_back_tears:
