A little comfort for me

A few weeks ago I had one of those days.... everything seemed to go wrong. I woke up late, had a cold shower, spilled ground coffee beans all over my kitchen floor and then the coffee ended up tasting sour. When a day starts off like this it is hard to pull things back together and tell yourself "it is going to be a good day." It was not a good day. CBC Radio 2 Shift talked about just this kind of day and a little something that can make it better... a comfort tune. Here are a few of my comfort tunes.

Romanitca - Drink the Night Away
Justin McRoberts - A Hope Deferred
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Patty Griffin - Moses
The National - Slow Show
both Patty Griffin and Justin McRoberts' versions of When It Don't Come Easy


What are your comfort tunes?
