Songs that keep us going during hard times

These past few months have been terrible, difficult, sad and challenging in so many ways. 

But through some of our most trying of days, many of us turned to a familiar source of comfort: music. 

On Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis was joined by a local radio DJ and a music therapist to talk about the songs that got them through 2020.

And our listeners called in with their favorite songs, too:

Guests:
