Keep Your Head Up (A Playlist)

June 19, 2018 — Leave a comment

A few weeks ago, I posted a blog about the songs that have helped me through hard times. I only included ten, but obviously there are so many more! With this in mind, I created a YouTube playlist.

Songs for Solace, Comfort, & Encouragement

Included are bands such as Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Asking Alexandria, Alter Bridge, and Three Days Grace! Feel free to comment — here or on YouTube — with your own additions to the playlist!

P.S. – Subscribe to my YouTube channel! Cool things are coming soon!

Just thinking about “Misery Business” gives me flashbacks. Riot! was the soundtrack to a lot of good times in college.
