If need something to relate to when I'm depressed, "Disorder" or "Digital" by Joy Division, "Breathe" by Depeche Mode, "The Big Come Down" by Nine Inch Nails, "5 Years" by Bjork, "All I Need" by Radiohead, and "Daphne Descends" are good ones. Come to think of it, pretty much anything by Joy Division is good to relate to during depression.

About six months ago, I hit a point where I was being betrayed by the people who I could trust the most, and I basically turned all my anger inward, which obviously isn't a very healthy thing to do. "Xxzxcuxz Me" by Crystal Castles, "Burn" by Nine Inch Nails, "Bodies" by Smashing Pumpkins, and especially "Declare Independence" by Bjork helped me channel that anger.

And, last summer, I basically entered a personal crisis, where everything I knew was turned upside down and I came pretty close to simply giving up everything. However, what made me stop was one song; "All Neon Like" by Bjork. The music is simply beautiful, catharsis in sound form, and the lyrics seemed random on other times I'd listened to the song, but it seemed at that exact moment in time that every verse Bjork sang seemed to address me directly. The song lifted me directly out of my slump, and ever since then I've always considered music to be my "best friend".

When people come to me with a problem, the first thing I always tell them is, "Never underestimate the healing power of music."
