Here are some amazing songs that inspire me:

YouTube - Tegan and Sara "Here I Am"

YouTube - on the brightside official music video

YouTube - Straylight Run - "Existentialism on Prom Night" Victory Records

YouTube - Joni Mitchell-California (BBC)

YouTube - Damien Rice - Cold Water

YouTube - Girls - "Lust For Life" (official video)

YouTube - Nick Drake - My Sugar So Sweet

YouTube - Lady Gaga Telephone

YouTube - walk with me- bedlight for blue eyes

Lots of these are live or covers - very intentional. They are specifically the versions that move me. I find recently, I am seeking out songs that are not necessarily uplifting. Not exactly depressing, but not cheery. These are the kinds of songs I absolutely love, and therefore a seemingly very depressing song can actually lift me up and keep me from the edge. One good example is Nick Drake's Black Eyed Dog. Here: YouTube - Nick Drake- Black Eyed Dog
