As we know – it’s official. Trump is in and Obama is out. I just pictured Heidi Klum saying that. Any who, sad times are to come. I really do feel it.
So, it’s a thing we all know how art imitates and is influenced by real life. Musicians have always taken political stances and this time around is no different. There are so many songs dedicated to how people feel right now and so I gathered a list of some of those songs to make you feel like you’re not alone in this.
Seriously by This American Life, Sara Bareilles, and Leslie Odom, Jr.
Hallelujah Money by Gorillaz
Smoke ’em Out by CocoRosie
Erupt & Matter by Moby & The Void Pacific Choir
I Give You Power by Arcade Fire
Little Hands by Fiona Apple
And for fun, here’s a Broad City clip of the gals preparing for the inauguration.

• SPIN posted a full list of new protest music released on inauguration day.
• 1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs featuring a song per day added to a playlist while the Trump Administration is still here.
• Quasi put together a compilation album featuring amazing musicians. These tracks are unreleased music and were donated to raise money for great causes.
Even though we’re feeling a little crappy and don’t see a positive light at the end of the tunnel, I do see good music coming out and about and that should help keep things a little positive, right? Welp.
