[Dove]

[Dove]

 

[Replicant]

 

[Hoops66]

Pretty sad, I think but...

 

[Jackcatscal]

I’m surprised no one jumped on this one yet.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Grateful Dead, Box of Rain.

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear…

 

[MdStang]

Beautiful and haunting...

 

[Ouremblem]

How about Matchbox Twenty’s “Unwell”?

 

[Ozimoto]

Someone asked for the Ramones...

 

[Ozimoto]

I'm surprised this one hasn't shown up yet.

No song thread about mental health would be complete without a little Warren Zevon.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think this singer is fairly outspoken about mental health issues and I think this song is somewhat related.

 

[Plebe]

Tears for Fears did the original, but Gary Jules remade it brilliantly.

 

[nwhoopfan]

but Gary Jules remade it brilliantly

I've also heard versions by Imagine Dragons and Jasmine Thompson, there are probably plenty more.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maybe a bit of stretch, but a manic episode is certainly within the realm of mental health.

 

[Ewekon]

Johnny Cash.
Hurt.

NIN's wasn't half bad either

 

[Bigboote]

I think Quadrophenia has already been posted, but Tommy was also about a mental-health issue as indicated in this classic:

 

[Adesmar123]

Hard to tell which one is Ted Nugent huh?

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think a lot of this band's songs address mental health, this one for certain.

 

[nwhoopfan]

 

[Puppy Love]

And on the lighter side…

This evening, I thought about a brilliant friend I knew in middle school. I moved to another state just before high school, and I later learned that he tragically took his life when he was in college. I am posting 2 songs with anti-suicide lyrics.
