Welcome to Mood Music, where you, our beloved Sweatpants & Coffee readers, share the songs that you rely on to cheer you up, make you feel sexy, or have a good cathartic cry. This week’s topic was “What’s the theme song for your life?” These are the tunes that kind of say it all about getting by in this crazy world. Which, according to several of you, requires quite a lot of Billy Joel and Linkin Park.
