What song grounds you when you feel like you're living through a hurricane?

Depends on what I need to return to baseline.
Need to cry to just get it out? Moon Song by Phoebe Bridgers
Need to scream at everything? Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters
Need to just piss and moan for fourteen minutes? Beach Life-in-Death by Car Seat Headrest
Need to feel calm again? Literally the entirety of Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Need something to lift me up so I can wear a happy face? Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac
- Don’t know any of those but I love the idea of what type of hurricane it is and what song pairs. Great list.
Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane
Radiohead - Everything In It’s Right Place
Stan Rogers, Rolling Down to Old Maui: https://genius.com/Stan-rogers-rolling-down-to-old-maui-lyrics
- I always loved The Dreadnoughts version of this.
- Yes my friend
Hurricane by Kyuss
Heilung - Othan or Traust

I have slightly odd wiring; I need something to bite down on under stress so I can ride it out. Incoming emotions that don't match my current ones just feel dissonant and uncomfortable.

Or if you still want a rock-tumbler brain massage but a little less stabby, consider Gray Data by Five Star Hotel.
Solidarity Forever
The whole OK Computer album by Radiohead.
Ironically, simpler times.
Banner, by Lights. The Acoustic version.

- Listening now. Wow, that’s nice.
When I had a stomach bug, this kept me relaxed

Grind by Gojira
I live and breathe satirical art and this song is sarcastic to its core
“You’re all shredded You’re all scarred Fighting the tide
Your tough face on, you think you’ll last long against the grain?”
Plus it’s very cathartic to do a scream-a-long in the car
You Will Be Okay - Sam Haft (Stolas' Lullaby)
Listened to it when I thought one of my friends went missing/died and listened to it when I almost ruined my closest friendship. It's been there for me man
Creed - Rain
Secret Oktober will forever ground me.
The beat, the lyrics, the build. They combine perfectly to ground me.
They just covered their own song for a Halloween album: Secret Oktober 31st but I’m still making my mind up on that one.
Invincible by Adelitas Way
Between the lyrics and the beat it just pumps me up and gets me ready to fight god.
Rock You Like A Hurricane
-Scorpions
