Music Helps Me

Posted by Parus @parus, Oct 13, 2017

At times music can be helpful. I like the group Anthem Lights...A new discovery for me when I was perusing youtube. A Capella has always been my thing. I love to sing!!!!!

Me too, John. It’s one of my absolute favorite versions of this song! Thank you for the reminder. ☺️

Hi, I found this Spotify playlist a few days ago ("Most Beautiful Songs According to AskReddit"). While the choices are obviously debatable, there is certainly something in there for everyone. I am not sure if you can listen with the free Spotify (I have the paid subscription). My understanding, however, is that it is also available on YouTube, although I did not investigate that:

Hi Paul, welcome. How lovely of you to give the gift of music as your first post to the community. What brings you to Mayo Clinic Connect? How does music soothe or help you?

Colleen, I have been in pain since July, 2019. It is a long story - I will post about it in the chronic pain and/or neuropathy threads when I can put some thoughts together. I have been following Mayo Connect for probably a year now and it has helped my mental state to know that I am not alone.

I thought I would share these songs since they have helped me a little. I like to listen to various podcasts (Clark Howard, Marketplace, This American Life, CarProUSA, etc.), but sometimes music as well. 75% of the songs in the playlist I never heard before. I just thought they might help someone else.

I look forward to seeing your future posts in the Neuropathy and/or Chronic Pain groups when you're ready. Pain and mental state go hand in glove. Music can help. I'm glad you shared what helps you with others. You might be interested in this discussion that @wsh66 started:

I, too, am a podcast listener and enjoy This American Life.
