MercyA Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 For consolation on either side in case of loss, Johnny Cash's version of God's Gonna Cut You Down. Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down In other words, they'll get theirs :) Eventually. I was thinking of suggesting NIN's Head Like a Hole, which echoes the same sentiment with its "you're going to get what you deserve" line. :) What a mess we're in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 People might also need their own, personal Jesus. Someone to hear your prayer. Someone to care. Also Johnny Cash. Just a word of warning - don't combine late period JC with alcohol, he's his own depressant. That's for sure, on both counts. JC's Hurt might be another good one for post-election catharsis. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Well, maybe a few hymns are in order: "When All The World Was Cursed" comes to mind. Or the second verse to Praise the Almighty, My Soul Adore Him, which reads: Trust not in princes; they are but mortal Earthborn they are, and soon decay. Naught are their counsels at life's last portal When the dark grave doth claim its prey. Since then no man can help afford, Trust ye in Christ, our God and Lord! Alleluia, alleluia. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have overcome the world.†This Is My Song (A Song of Peace) would also be very appropriate, I think.

MercyA Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Here are some recommendations from my husband :) These aren't his favorite songs, musically, but the lyrics are appropriate. I :001_wub: my man. He says: "Radioactive†is definitely apocalyptic. The original by Imagine Dragons is good (we have that album) but I actually prefer the cover by Pentatonix and Lindsey Stirling found here: “It’s the End of the World†by R.E.M. is a little too obvious :) “Sleep Now in the Fire†by Rage Against the Machine isn’t apocalyptic, but it does remind me of the election quite a bit. I just re-watched the video and at 1:04 you can see someone holding a “Trump for President†sign — for the 2000 election! Here is the video (interestingly made by Michael Moore): Here are some lyrics from Linkin Park’s “Wretches and Kingsâ€: There's a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odiousMakes you so sick at heart, that you can't take partYou can't even passively take partAnd you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheelsUpon the levers, upon all the apparatusAnd you've got to make it stop The election also makes “Lies Greed Misery†by Linkin Park a little too appropriate: . The song kind of sucks (OK, it does suck) but it’s hard to argue with these lyrics: I wanna see you choke on your liesSwallow up your greed Suffer all alone in your misery [i feel like I should say that my husband is actually very gentle and kind. He doesn't suffer fools lightly, though.] You might also like these lyrics from Linkin Park’s song “Hands Held High†about the war in Iraq.

J-rap Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 We'll probably just be playing our same ol' same ol' NPR classical music station. But, I do like It's the End of the World as We Know It. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Adding one more Jimmy Buffet song -- A Lot to Drink About. Although it was written around the time of the Great Recession, parts of it are certainly appropriate today. "I can't take another doomsday moment, we've got a lot to drink about." I was going to link the You Tube video, but it does have some bad language… It's a funny song, though, if you're in the mood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Funny, one of our local radio stations was playing a whole series of songs that could relate to the election. I wish I could remember the ones I heard. They included ch ch ch changes, something about you gotta make up your mind, we don't have to agree, and several others. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
