Matthew Good - Weapon.
There was a time where I would always be so stressed (mostly cause I had just entered high school then), but then when I listened to Weapon, it would relax me. Then I even started singing that in my head before and during exams, and it helped. Especially the line: "and you breathe in, and you breathe out, for it..."
I don't do sigs.

OLP - In Repair
I listen to that over and over when I'm feeling hopeless. After a while, it starts to make sense of things.

Jack's Mannequin - Into the Airwaves

The ending lyrics bit got me through a really rough summer:
So hang on
It's gonna be a hard day
So hang on
Don't panic
Don't panic there simply is no need
It's gonna be a hard day
It's gonna be a hard day
Don't panic
Don't panic we are hanging here
We are hanging here
~Hannah

Floods by Pantera.
Honestly, even if you don't like metal at all, this song is amazing. The guitar work is so incredible it gives me chills every time. It's not loud or angry, it's relaxing. "Wash away us all, take us with the floods." Seriously, if you've never heard it, give it a chance.

And last summer I listened to "What Is and What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin a lot. I had let someone leave for the whole summer without telling them how I felt. The line "And you will be mine, by takin' our time" kinda hit the spot.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head

Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

4 am.
screw no olp. it fits what you're asking for from me.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

OLP got me thru my worst times ever. Lots of other music was important to me, but I didn't lean on it like I did OLP.

OLP's music saved me.
I can't possibly make a post in this thread without one of their songs.
So I broke the rule first, but it's all for a good cause.

Pretty Girl: Pedestrian
Free Fallin - Tom Petty
Drive - Incubus
Ac/DC - Shook me All night long(It gets me its such a good mood, makes me wanna dance. hehe)
