Mission
Songs That Saved My Life is a project built around impactful music that has played an important role in the lives of both artists and fans, while supporting mental health and suicide prevention charities. Every music lover has a song that's helped them through a tough time, and this project shares those stories with the world. Via Songs That Saved My Life, artists record cover versions of the songs that have shaped them, with proceeds currently benefiting four charities: Crisis Text Line, Superbands, The Trevor Project, and To Write Love On Her Arms.
