Hey, so, as this tag (music) has been created i wanted to break the ice and try to generate some kind of chat were we can share different songs that had helped us to get through some sh*ty moments and stuff (or we just like them).
So, first, i’d like to say that music is my life, i have always had this sensitivity (also in general) to some specific songs, not necessarily an specific music genre. I could listen to that song and instantly get in the deep mood which provoked in me (sadness, melancholia, euphoria, hope, growth).

I’ve actually already posted this, but here the songs are into categories of the emotions they create.

So to put here some examples (also some lgbtiqa+ themed songs down there).

Wow that’s a lot. Sorry.
So that is all, a lot. If you want to just listen to some of them it will be great.
I don’t know if anyone’s really gonna see this, I’ve posted this several times to reach more people. If you have some opinion just write it down there.
