The three posts below contain songs that have helped me get by recently. Anyone who knows me well knows that music is a big part of my life. Even though I am not a musician, it helps me express myself in ways that I may not normally be able to.

Yes, music can be sad, but I tend not to think of certain songs as depressing. It's all very cathartic. I mope along with Morrissey or I raise hell with Hank Williams III. I don't actually do these things, yet emotionally, I feel something.

The three songs below are similar. For weeks I've felt upset and worried that I was being irrational about things. These songs helped me. Not to forget, but to understand that I was not the only one who ever felt the same way.

So join me in drinking with George, venting with Ben or looking forward with Mr. Isaak.

This round is on me.
