A Moment’s Music
You can match pretty much every moment to a song. Whether you’re feeling heartbroken, excited, calm, or scared, there is a song for every feeling. Music helps bring emotions to the surface and sometimes, there’s nothing more therapeutic than belting a tune at the top of your lungs.
We created 4 playlists, each with its own meaning and purpose:
Illness is chronic, artist is iconic
Music is filled with disability/chronic illness representation. Some of music’s biggest names are members of the community and their artistry and advocacy should be championed.

A rom-com kind of love:
What better feeling is there than falling deeply in love with someone? We all love the songs that convey the excitement of a great love— the one that gives you butterflies with every thought of that special someone.
Cozy cuddles:
When you’re snuggled up with the fireplace on and candles lit, this is the perfect soundtrack to a cuddly moment. These songs give you a warm fuzzy feeling and the melodies are so relaxing.
Breakup blues:
These songs are for when you are seeing red and feeling blue. A broken heart often feels unmendable but singing these songs can bring relief. It’s comforting knowing all of these people have experienced the universal feeling of heartbreak.
