    Songs and anxiety

    Here's one for you.

    Ever listened to a song that reminds you of anxiety? or interpreted the lyrics to mean anxiety or the way you feel seems to fit the song?

    Was screaming up the M11 today with this track blairing out, an anxiety track if ever there was:

    Artist: Manic Street Preachers

    Song: Tsunami

    Lyrics:

    Doctors tells me that I'm cynical
    I tell them that it must be chemical
    So what am I doing girl
    Cry into my drink I disappear

    Eyes for teeth grating over me
    Bring down the shadows of my mind
    Sleep and breathe under our sheets
    Inhale the anxiety in - between, in - between, in - between, in - between

    It really does sound like it is describing anxiety.
    I'll have to look that one up .
    Thanx for sharing that

    Re: Songs and anxiety

    I immediately thought of anxiety when I first listened to this one

    Last Night I Nearly Died (But I Woke Up Just In Time) - Duke Special

    Can't put this off forever,
    I've got to tell you some time.
    But when I try and say it,
    My mouth just gives up and dies.

    I lose my meaning when I get this feeling.

    Last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.
    Last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.

    I'm not who you think I am,
    I slipped a stranger inside.
    It helps the nights go quicker,
    But I diminish each time.

    And in the morning I shake the warning.

    Last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.
    Last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.

    I get this feeling
    I got this feeling
    I woke up
    I woke up
    I'm gonna wake up
    Gonna wake up

    I lose my meaning when I get this feeling

    Oh, last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.
    Last night I nearly died,
    But I woke up just in time.

    Last night I nearly died
    Last night I nearly died
    Last night I nearly died

    Re: Songs and anxiety

    Great post !

    I was listening to this one last night and thought wow that relates to my problems .......

    WHITNEY HOUSTON LYRICS

    "Love Will Save The Day"

    Sometimes life can make you crazy
    It can really put your body to the test
    You try so hard to make sure everything goes right
    And you find you've only wound up with a mess
    It's a common situation
    Even though you feel abandoned and alone
    Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt
    So don't panic when you hit the danger zone

    [Chorus:]

    What you need's a little change of heart
    Forget this fear and frustration
    Love will always play the greater part
    When your battles wear you down
    Here's my advice -
    When you're feeling down and out
    And you've got troubles on you mind
    Love will save the day
    When you're feeling full of doubt
    And fear has got you in a bind
    Love will save the day
    When your worlds falling apart
    All you have to do is say a prayer
    And love will save the day
    There's an answer in your heart
    So let your light shine on my dear
    And love will save the day
    Love will save the day [X4]

    Many things in this world bring you down
    It's a wonder you can make it through the day
    Well, you can't sleep cause your problems are to deep
    And there's always something getting in the way
    And when you turn on the evening news
    Mass confusion is the only thing you see
    Well there's no question that we need a new direction
    Cause we all could use some peace and harmony

    [chorus]

    Love is gonna save the day
    You've gotta believe it
