I’m listening to Jacques Brel right now. What else y’all got for me? All genres and languages welcome.
Schnittke’s Choir Concerto.
To tune out and reset my mental and emotional state: Most anything by Paleowolf
To restore hope and interest in seeking good things from life:
- Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
- Glorious Dawn by Melodysheep
- Nightswimming by R.E.M. (This one can be risky though, sometimes it makes me feel even more nostalgia-sad.)

Usually angry music like melodic black metal or heavy stoner/doom. somehow gives me the right energy to get out of the slump.
Ashnikko, she’s great. By my understanding, some of her music was a way to process her feelings.
Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt”
Great cover by an amazing artist. I hadn’t listened to his version in a while. It’s still so good. Thank you!
Try some of Matt Elliott, it’s going to crush you
The band Spanish Love Songs.

Sigur Ros.
I loved Hvarf/Heim. Which studio album of theirs is your favorite? It’s really chill music.
Ágætis byrjun, Takk, and ( ) are my favorites. The older stuff is more my style.
Well if you’re already into Brel… I can confidently give you Brassens. I consider him to have been the greatest poet. It’s difficult to convey just how beautifully he told mundane things (les copains d’abord, l’orage…), how he made life and death sweet (le testament, la prière…), how he brought the humblest people under the limelight (la complainte des filles de joie, l’auvergnat…), and elevated already beautiful works of poetry (Paul Fort, Victor Hugo) into musical classics (Gastibelza, le petit cheval…).
I listened to those Brassens tracks you recommended. I quite liked them. I must confess I don’t speak any French but I enjoyed them. “Les copains d’abord” was probably my favorite of the four. I looked up the translation, It’s a sweet song. Thanks for the recommendation!
I’m glad, les copains d’abord is perhaps his biggest classic. Have a good one 🎵
I usually listen to the album Still Can’t Kill Us (Acoustic Sessions) by Icon for Hire.
When I feel really miserable I listen to the album I Went to Hell and Back by As It Is.
Anything acoustic by Chris Cornell.
I really like Soundgarden. I haven’t listened to his solo material before. It’s probably a good time to start. I remember when he passed, It’s still hard to believe he’s gone.
Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterways, where the baptized drown…Audioslave is also great, though not acoustic
Eyedea especially the song Even shadows have shadows
