Songs to help us get through the next four years

ChastMastr

I’ve been finding certain songs (some angry, some hopeful) helpful in dealing with the upcoming scary regime here in the US. I’ll post some of mine, but what songs do people find helpful for this? (Links to YouTube are great! I’m making a playlist…)

The_Riv

The first thing that popped into my head was this, and it's made me chuckle, so thanks for that. The first verse fits really, really well, actually!

Telford

I know that each of us is alone in the end
But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend
If we stick together
You and me forever
We're safe and sound
The world's just turned inside out and upside down
The world's just turned inside out and upside down

Safe and Sound...Carly Simon

What you need is a US version of this by The Master.

'Always look on the Bright Side'.

Did you by any chance listen to 'Add To Playlist' on R4 this morning?

This one comes to mind by Fred Neil.

I've not heard of that. Is R4 Radio 4 on the BBC?

I would definitely include the three Green Day albums:

American Idiot:

Yes. The programme in question finds common music themes and techniques across genres and explains how they work.

I'm not planning on fleeing to Canada at the moment, but this does strike me...

"Last Plane Out" by Toy Matinee:

"The Man in the Tinfoil Hat" by Todd Rundgren.

Freezing this Christmas by Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers is a current favourite.

@Telford, I'm not sure what that has to do with this thread, which if you take a look at the OP, is about songs to get you through the upcoming regime in the US.

The latest Randy Rainbow, a parody of "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" from Annie, has just come out: "I Think I'm Gonna Hate It Here."

Randy's parodies helped me and Cubby get through the previous four years of Trump...

Sorry about that I just read the thread title and I am more worried about the next 4 years in the UK. My last post on this thread
