People always say that I need to live for today, but sometimes “today” sucks royally. In those terrible moments, it’s hard for me to remember that one bad day doesn’t equal a bad life. I struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel some days. I often forget that there’s another tomorrow right around the corner, waiting to greet me as my alarm blares.

Luckily, though, music always helps soothe the soul. Sometimes I just need a playlist to get me through the sucky days and remind me that there’s another tomorrow around the corner.

Sometimes it just takes some time to round the corner…

“It just takes some time

Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright”

Jimmy Eat World: “The Middle”

Sometimes it feels like it’s been forever since something went right…

“Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It’s all right…”

The Beatles: “Here Comes The Sun”

Sometimes we just have to find the beauty in the darker moments and let go until tomorrow comes…

“so let go

And jump in

Oh well whatcha waiting for

It’s all right

‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown…”

Frou Frou: “Let Go”

Because, despite our battle scars, we still persevere.

“And our bruises are coming

But we will never fold

and I was your silver lining

As the story goes…”

Rilo Kiley: “Silver Lining”

Sometimes tomorrow is exactly the day we’ve been waiting for…

“Hey you with the pretty face

Welcome to the human race

A celebration, mister blue sky’s up there waitin’

And today is the day we’ve waited for…”

Electric Light Orchestra: “Mr. Blue Sky”

Sometimes we’re actually not as lost as we believe…

“If you ever feel neglected

If you think all is lost

I’ll be counting up my demons yeah

Hoping everything’s not lost…”

Coldplay: “Everything’s Not Lost”

Sometimes we just need to push ourselves to keep on swimming through today…

“Despite the absence of sun

Choking on salt water

I’m not giving in

You gotta swim…”

Jack’s Mannequin: “Swim”

And, despite the grey skies, we’ll still be OK.

“Watched the plumes paint the sky gray

As she laughed and danced through the field of graves

There I knew it would be alright”

Death Cab for Cutie: “Grapevine Fires”

Sometimes you have to put your burdens down…

“You know you can’t keep lettin’ it get you down

And you can’t keep draggin’ that dead weight around

If there ain’t all that much to lug around

Better run like hell when you hit the ground…”

OK Go: “This Too Shall Pass”

Sometimes you just need a little luck to stay safe and sound…

“You could be my luck

Even if we’re six feet underground

I know that we’ll be safe and sound…”

Capital Cities: “Safe and Sound”

Sometimes you need to let go of tomorrow and live for today…

“I apologize to myself for living in the future

And letting what’s ahead get in the way

Because if happiness is always down the road

Then I’m missing it today…”

The Afters: “Breathe In Breathe Out”

Because, despite our struggles, we are meant for so much more.

“We were meant to live for so much more

Have we lost ourselves?

Somewhere we live inside

Somewhere we live inside…”

Switchfoot: “Meant To Live”
