One of the best things you can do when you're in the most joyous of jubilant moods is catch one of your favourite songs on the radio and just crank the thing up. (Don't worry: we definitely have several of such tracks on tap for the show today.) But what if you're feeling a little blue? Just as they complement you at your best, can the right songs comfort you, too?
For songwriters, there's undoubtedly a certain comfort that lies in creating these songs. Nowhere is this better reflected than in Julie Doiron's latest release, So Many Days, where the New Brunswick songstress has tucked whispers of sadness under warm guitars. She crafted the majority of the album while taking up temporary residence in Toronto -- she has since moved back to New Brunswick -- and you can't help but feel a little displaced, perhaps as she did, as you listen to tracks like "Can't Make It No More".
When you're feelin' down, which songs do you go to for comfort?
