I listen to Gospel most of the time. Frankie Beverly & Maze, Otis Reddin, Sam Cook Aretha Frankin amd Galdys Knight.It takes me back.

To me it depends. Due to upbringing and character, I sometimes have difficulty accessing my deepest emotions and crying. It bottles up in me. At those times, when I want to get closer to buried grief, the following are my faves. I cry but feel good afterward.

- The Rufus Wainwright version of Hallelujah is pretty cathartic, never fails me actually.

- Same for Dance me to the end of love by Leonard Cohen. (I was never much of a Cohen fan but there you go.)

- For some reason, I find myself going back to stuff that I liked when I was much younger - Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel etc. They are easy to listen to, lyrics somehow ground me.

- Top pity-party music clip: the tango scene from the film Scent of a Woman

- Frank Sinatra, My Way - I cannot believe I'm writing it :))))

Opera, played loudly: I get lost in opera, forget about pain and everything sometimes.

When I want to experience a more badass mood:

Echo and the Bunnymen, Seven Seas especially. I'm a fan.
The Pulp: Common People
Grunge and then British Merseybeat in general.
60s protest music of my own culture

I never go through any medical operation - surgical, dental and stuff without my badass playlist without me.

If you are a music fan then just about anything will help me. I love listening to the old motown music but i like it all really, depends what my mood is. gentle hugs and blessings

Just uplifting music and motivating and funny youtube videos

If you like gospel music that's always good it does give you uplifting and also jazz music is good as well
