    Imogen Heap, especially her songs about her childhood.

    Just For Now is a song about Christmas dinner, and how it's supposed to be nice, but dysfunctional family relationships still taint it, even if you're actively trying to be happy. Despite being disowned by my family for being queer I still love them. And it still hurts. Even though I do my own thing on Christmas, with my friends who love me as I am it still hurts.

    We're gonna lighten things up with some cathartic yelling about being sad.

    The Kids Will Be Alright, Eventually is a song about being a failure, and having anxiety and depression, and feeling bad about it. Or maybe I wasn't a failure maybe I just had an extremely rough childhood, and I coped as well as I could.

    Here comes the big one. Hide and Seek again by Imogen Heap, it's unfortunate that this song became a meme because of how real it is. It's about having parents who hate each other and how that fucks you up. How they use you, a child who just wants to be loved, as a weapon against each other. It's something a lot of people really don't get.
