Artists to keep you company during hard times
Life is a series of wins and hard times, and it just happens that we ride along that path. When the going is good, we feel infinite, ethereal, and overflowing with joy and happiness. But like night and day, downward spirals are also inevitable. Such is the annoying, albeit fascinating nature of life.
It’s fine to be at our lows every now and then. It is valid to feel what you feel when life’s kicking your behind. It be like that sometimes. Music, while not a total solution, can help in inching towards better days. What do you say about getting out of that mental slump and giving the playlist below a listen?
