Songs That Saved My Life Volume 2[]
Due to the success of the first "Songs That Saved My Life" Hopeless/Sub City announced that the compilation would become an annual event to raise more money for Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention. The labels announced a second volume was in the works and later announced the second volume in the series. The album was released on November 8 2019 approximately 1 year after the first volume. Like it's predecessor the album follows the same formula with bands covering songs that helped them thru struggles and to help those who also struggle find a voice and speak out.
