If you are like me, you will need mental health breaks to maintain your sanity this year. For my part, I am starting my day with a great song, working alphabetically by song title (note: this does not mean a single song per letter). In comments, predict the next song, let me know a deserving song I have passed by, or tell me why this was an awful choice. Enjoy!

“I sing the song in the first person, but the song was about my roommate I’d lived with as a teenager and he came to a point where he wanted to take his life. He did not succeed — thank God — but the song is about that downward spiral of emotion and contemplating suicide. That’s a hard place to be — it really is; it really is, honestly. But the real story, the beauty in this thing is that he didn’t take his life. He wasn’t successful in that mission. And he has a beautiful family now, a lovely family.” — Jacoby Shaddix
