Whether it is comfort when we are hurting, a silly pick me up, or something that gives you hope, many of us have songs we turn to. I know this thread has happened many other times, so I am truly just adding to the string. What are some of those songs that have provided comfort, helped release anger or gave you hope?

I love songs that remind me of my strength and resiliency, and these are my go-to songs for that:
Eagle When She Flies - Dolly Parton
She hurts deep and when she weeps
She's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
The Climb - Miley Cyrus
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking

My song, that made me get up and continue to function for my kids and to maintain my job, was Kevin Gates - Stop Lyin'.
Ahhhh
Own up to your bullshit
Yeah it's about that time, damn don't you look foolish
Cause you know, I know, you know you lyin'
Yeah right, uh huh, yeah right mhmm, yeah right stop lyin'
Yeah right, uh huh, yeah right mhmm, yeah right stop lyin'
Confrontation is the conversation
Your contact - erased it
Can't take it - no patience
Major mistake is me believing in you when you say shit
I thought you changed well since you can't I can no longer take it
Go head and face it, plain and basic, different occasions
Gave you my trust and you apologized and then betrayed it
Shame on me, further repeat, I'm all out of favors
And nothing else can save you...
Guessin' you missing integrity
Still gotta focus on what's in the head of me
Great understanding of me as a whole, probably one of the reasons you scared of me
Fiction you telling me, stupid expecting me
Thinking that I'm a believe what I'm not believing
Excuse me, I'm sorry
I abruptly beg and pardon

Well, I'm a few years out, and can laugh at my partying, alcoholic, narcissistic ex, so...
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke and Loud, Loud Music
Duet by John Prine and Amanda Shires
[Chorus]
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
[JP]A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
[AS]I'd rather have a drink with the first guy I meet
And the only home I'll know is the bar down the street
Chorus
[AS]A drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band
Is the only kind of life I'll ever understand
[JP]Go out and have your fun, you think you've played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart
Chorus

I second Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters-Metallica
Rain-Creed.
Can you help me out
Can you lend me a hand
It's safe to say
That I'm stuck again
Trapped between this life
And the light
I just cant figure out
How to make it right
A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more
I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life
I feel it's gonna rain
For days and days
I feel it's gonna rain
I've tried to figure out
I can't understand
What it means
To be whole again
Trapped between the truth
And the consequence
Nothing's real
Nothing's making sense
A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more
I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this, rain like this
Fall down
Wash away my yesterdays
Fall down
So let the rain fall down on me
I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
Let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)
I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)
I feel it's gonna rain like this
I feel it's gonna rain

AS mentioned above - Miley Cyruss - The climb and also
Shania Twain
Today is your Day.
You got what it takes you can win
Today is your day to begin
Don't give up here, don't you quit
The moment is now, this is it
I know that you can then you will
Get to the top of the hill
Part of the fun is the climb
You just gotta make up your mind
That today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything's going your way
Today, today, today, today
When somebody throws sticks and stones
All they can break are your bones
And life's gonna kick you around
Then kick you again when you're down
But today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything's going your way
Today, today, today, today
Life's gonna kick
It's gonna kick you around
It's gonna kick you down
Brush yourself up, no regrets
This is as good as it gets
Don't expect more or less
Just go out and give it your best
