Music Matters Community Group

Music can soothe in a way that nothing else can, it can express things that might otherwise go untold. I believe music can heal...or at least help us to heal. I'd like this to be a place to share the music we love, and the songs that saved us...or that might save us.

Post music that kept you going when all around you turned to shit.... No fainting and dying. no bloody drowning in the river shit.  this thread is for music that made you drag yourself up by the balls onto your hind legs and say 'fuck this shit'.



I'll start.



Tubthumping by chumbawumba. Best Played Loud.

I know it's religious-y. For me, the music, his voice, the message to reflect on is deeply life affirming.

This is one of those songs that reminds me of my youth...kicking about in the summer just causing trouble and being in a band...and having your hair dyed a dodgy colour. Going to gigs with no money yet somehow getting in and then stealing people's pints off the side. Getting served in grimy pubs when you're 15 using money found down the back of the sofa and feeling like you're the coolest thing going for like 5 minutes. Yeah.

This song just makes me smile...which is never a bad thing.

oh no, smiling is forbidden round here. Not acceptable.

Here's an old one that makes me smile. As I reach for a peach, slide a rind down behind a sofa in san tropez... although the next on the meddle album is one of my real faves. Seamus.
