Some Pick-Me-Ups

Okay. I was in need of something to build a ledge in my cavernous hole so that I could hope to pull myself up onto it and breathe for just a little while. Music and songs seem to be a great help to me, when I can make myself focus on them, so, though I am still feeling like garbage, I wanted to try and pick up not only myself, but list a couple songs that will usually help remind me that, yes, things are bad, but it is still possible to overcome. Somehow.

This is a post I have written before in a different blog, yes, so some of the songs are repeats. Just so you know.

So let's start with a song that is almost always guaranteed to bring a smile to my face:

Mysterious Ticking Noise

Potter Puppet Pals

Yep. Not kidding. Though this song is almost a decade old (geesh, has it really been that long?), it still makes me laugh. Especially that Dumbledore moment. Definitely a great work of art.

Hold On

Wilson Phillips

I was only 4 when this song came out, but I remembered it from then. It would come on the radio, and though I didn't really know or understand it, I would sing along with it. The song, like they all do, fell off the face of the planet for a while, eventually coming on to the local soft rock station that, after my stint with the two warring country music stations, I listened to more often than not. this time, however, when it came on, I listened to the words, and understood a whole lot more. What a great message it has. Hold on in spite of everything that is stacked against you. One day, it will change, but you have to just hold on until that time comes.

Stand

Rascal Flatts

This is one of my absolute favorite songs out there. This song describes exactly how it feels. The world is overwhelming and terrible, but there is still something good that can come of it. After all, 'life's like a novel with the end ripped out'. We can write our own pages, our own destinies. We just have to keep standing back up.

I'll Be Okay

McFly

Another song that is surprisingly almost a decade old, scarily enough. Still, it carries the perfect sentiment. When the days are going just as bad as they possibly can, just get through the day, and don't to tell yourself that you'll be alright. Thing's really will be okay. Eventually.

1985

Bowling for Soup

Okay, I know. Strange song choice, but its really not the song as much as the AMV that went with it. It's an incredible AMV that just goes so well with the music, for this one in particular. I rather enjoy watching these though, with all my favorite series, simply because some of them are absolutely wonderful.

Shadows

Lindsey Stirling

I just adore her music. It's always a nice thing to come to. <3
