893 Songs That Bring Us Together

Right now, all music is essential. It's helping us power through this uncertain time while helping us feel connected. We asked you to share the songs that make you feel connected, and you responded! We will start playing the 893 Songs That Bring Us Together Monday, May 4 at 1 p.m. CDT. Songs will appear on the page below.

Find your frequency on the radio, get your smart speaker set up, or download The Current app to listen to our countdown, and share an experience you helped create.

We couldn't do #893Songs and other adventurous programming like this without your support.

"Every day is an emotional roller coaster. I can't see my friends. I can't be close to my family. There's so much I can't do and I feel helpless, frustrated, anxious, mad, sad - just down most days. I'm supposed to be a productive worker and often just wish I could take a nap and wake up to a different world. Music is one of the few things keeping me together these days. There's the comfort of songs I know every word to after years of play, the excitement of finding new music. Music makes me feel less alone in all of this. And for that I'm grateful." - Kari K.

"I found these songs fit into three categories of things I need right now: friendships that combat loneliness, the feeling that things will get better, and songs that everyone sings together whenever they're played. Some literally require interaction (like Minnie the Moocher) and some celebrate events that connect us (like the Olympic Fanfare and Theme). No matter what, we can always turn to music to buoy us through storms. Stay strong everyone, we'll get through this!" - Katie D.
