For me, what I sing - what I feel the urge to sing - can be an insight into what I'm feeling. Same with playing music. It can't be just whatever music, it has to be this particular artist / album / song.
In my car is a thumb drive with the top 100 songs for every year, 1946 to about 2010, plus a bunch more albums from various artists. Everything from classical symphony to bubble-gum pop.

Torch songs from the 1920s and 1930s are for when I'm stressed and want to relax.

I usually pop on Ella Fitzgeral or Etta James and sing along. I'm sure you've heard the Etta James version of "At Last".

Oh yeah. She torches like no other.
Yet Miss Sassy, Sarah Vaughn, manages it in a different way.
Which is why I always say a favorite, not the favorite, because ranking stops being useful when people are good at something. Now we are in the nuance realm.
It is not okay to assume that therapy is a beneficial thing that makes people "better people" for going to, or that people are doing something wrong by rejecting it.

My mum used to sing hits from musicals of the 50s when we were in the car. Great songs.
