Music can be healing, music can be inspiring and music can be releasing. Songs that strike an emotional chord are very personal. There are occasions when we feel down and out. There are occasions when we got into fights with our families and friends. Today, Let MyQueenstown E! Station find out what songs do Queenstown residents listen when going gets tough...
