Ever felt down and turned to music to help ease the pain? What are those comforting songs that always seem to help, even if only a little bit? Post the lyrics too, if you like.

Lately, I've just started listening to Eels. I came across this song Somebody Loves You. It's a sweet little song, my comforting song of the moment.
I also like listening to Enya music. Quite relaxing.


woke up with a bang
and a bug on your face
it crawled in your mouth
and gave you a taste of
the good life you left behind
but i think you're gonna be fine

somebody loves you
and you're gonna make it through

this nagging malaise
is more than a phase
it feels like a job
but no boss ever pays you to lay there
and think how you'll die
while the tears start to well in your eyes

somebody loves you
and you're gonna make it through

one more saturday
all alone through the night
you've got to be sure
when you turn out that light
that it's going to turn on again
you've got to be your good friend

somebody loves you
and you're gonna make it through

This one kept me sane during one of the most difficult periods of my life:

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not

i play it off but i'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but i'm feindin'
i try to say goodbye and i choke
I try to walk away and i stumble
Though i try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near


I may appear to be free
But i'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front, hey

i play it off but i'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but i'm feindin'
i try to say goodbye and i choke
I try to walk away and i stumble
Though i try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May i be your possession
Boy i need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might i try
But this i can't deny, deny

i play it off but i'm dreamin' of you
I'll keep my cool but i'm feindin'
i try to say goodbye and i choke
I try to walk away and i stumble
Though i try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I always play The Happening by the Supremes. The music is so up & infectious, it always cheers me up.
