"Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memories."
- Oscar Wilde
Now we know how important music can be to us, not just for anxiety but for mental health, self care, moods and memories.
The list below contains a range of genres and artists that all help me with a combination of the things mentioned above, some of the tracks bring back memories, make the think of friends, are an outlet for just screaming out lyrics.
Each one of us have different tastes in music that make us feel certain ways so with that being said, here are my top 10 songs that I, in essence, have some form of attachment or feeling towards:
10. How do you love somebody by Why don't we
(This is definitely one to scream the lyrics)
9. Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders
(I mean this was iconic to Doctor Who so it's a given)
8. Holy Fvck by Demi Lovato
(I have loved Demi since I was 11 and this brings me right back to where it all began andI fvcking love it!)
7. All for you By Cian Ducrot
(Again this is one to scream the lyrics and imagine you're in your very own music video)
6. There's nothing holdin' me back by Shawn Mendes
(Safe to know I know this word for word and it just makes me smile)
5. One Kiss by Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris
(This gives me some memoires, at one stage this song was following me!)
4. Hear me now by Hollywood Undead
( I literally love this band and reminds me of my teenage years, definitely good times, and I still binge the Album on occasion)
3. Pure and Simple by Hear'Say!
(Definitely a throwback but I love it! I know all the words and I live for it.)
2. A thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton
(This again brings back memories, and smiles)
1. Truly, Madly, deeply by Savage Garden
(This is a running joke with one of my best friends, I even accidently turned up to university looking like I belonged in that music video...oops)
So there you have it! My top 10!
I have noticed that while doing this list that a lot of the songs I love and listen to frequently are associated with memory. Memory is hugely important but in all honesty there are a few songs that I cannot listen to due to other memories such as songs associated with my great grandmother and other family members who have passed.
I hope you have enjoyed this, please let me know some of your favourite songs and how they are special to you!
