songs that describe the work day

Published

listening to music is a major stress reliever for me. what are some songs that when you hear them you just think "this is my life at work"? Mine is Don't Wanna Fight by Alabama Shakes, especially when I'm dealing with an IV pump that keeps alarming for no reason after you've tried everything to fix it..."I don't wanna fight no more" :dead:

"Let It Go", "They're Coming to Take Me Away", "If I Only Had a Brain" (sometimes about me, more often a co-worker), and of course, The Beach Boys' "I Wanna Go Home"

I also like Alabama Shakes "Don't Wanna Fight," but...Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, S.O.B., more or less ends my day, enjoy:

Cheers to all us hard-working, under-paid, and under-appreciated nurses. Have one on me.

most of the time after I finish a 13+ hour day I am thinking the good, the bad and the ugly. But my go to music to relax me on the way home is blues music especially from ZZ top. Makes the drive go a lot smoother.
