Interesting question Though "oldies", I have always found these 2 songs strengthening and uplifting: I Am Woman by Helen Reddy I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash Also, whatever mood I'm in or not in, any time I hear the song "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles, it makes me smile. IP: Logged |

"The Sea Of Love".........come with me, my love, to the sea, the sea of love, I want to tell you, how much I love you...da da daaa, da da da daaaaa. I woke up with the bright sun streaming through my rainbow blinds, gently easing my eyes awake, a feeling of peacefulness washed over me, that song was playing and it was transcendent and moving for me. It was my birthday, and I was still excited to be turning a whole year older.. I lay there peacefully a long time, just listening to it, and feeling older. In a good way. I must have been six. I agree with "Here comes the sun" also, Billy Joel~ "River of Dreams" IP: Logged |

When I am "bummy" I like lots of bass and block-rocking beats....sorry, in the past few years I have acquired a strange fascination with electronica, after years and years of pitched-in-the-key-of-angst goth tunes. My music collection is rather bipolar, I must say....Seriously, I just can't stay upset when the goofiness of "where's your head at" by Basement Jaxx starts making my windows shake. Inspiring? "Shelter" by Sarah McLachlan. "Pride (in the name of Love)" by U2. My throat chokes up and I get teary-eyed EVERY TIME Bono sings "they took your life but they could not take your pride...... And anytime Enya starts singing, I turn into puddle of wistful yearnings for beautiful vistas and nostalgia for eons past.....even if i have no idea what words she is speaking. Yup, I'm a sap.

music doesnt help with my mood much unless i am angry, but ill contribute anyway..most definitely 'could you be loved' by bob marley hmm most reggae songs have a feel-good air to them - ill also contribute 'feelin irie' or 'red eyes' by israel vibration. IP: Logged |

for those with saggie influence, 'learning to fly' by pink floyd is always good for freeing and uplifting the spirits. actually this one does help when i am in a mediocre mood.IP: Logged |

I Can See Clearly Now Here Comes the Sun Put a Little Love in Your Heart (Anie Lennox and Al Green) Give a Little Love (Ziggy Marley) One Love (Bob Marley) Lean on Me Futureman's Theme from the movie Bottle Rocket cheers me up, it has an exuberance to it that I like. Cusco: Native American, Apurimac III. Practical Magic Soundtrack (Alan Silvestri's two tracks are so pretty). I had a couple of cd's out of the library in december featuring Native American performers, one being Mary Youngblood, the other a mixture of lullabies, and enjoyed listening to both of them. I also have a few CD's with upbeat music/music with a strong beat to it, just to get me up on my feet and moving around. Motherkonfessor, I'm the same way. When I was first online, a guy I was talking to couldn't believe there was room in my musical taste for Fats Domino, Adam Ant and Nine Inch Nails (he commented after finding out I'd received a tape each of Adam Ant and Fats for Christmas as replacements for missing old ones). I also love the song "Cross Over the Bridge" by Patti Page. Oh and my favourite Cd at the moment is "Facing Future" by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole. IP: Logged |

I keep getting this song in my head and it won't stop, it's kind of uplifting, by Loretta Lynn.Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up, When you came last night. You'd been out with all the boys, And you ended up half tight. But liquor and lust, they just don't mix, Leave the bottle or me behind. And don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. No, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. Just stay out there on the town, And see what you can find. 'Cause if you want that kinda love, Well, you don't need none of mine. So, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. You never take me anywhere, Because you're always gone. And many a night I've laid awake, And cried, dear, all alone. Then you come in, a-kissin' on me: It happens every time. No, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. No, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. Just stay out there on the town, And see what you can find. 'Cause if you want that kinda love, Well, you don't need none of mine. So, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. No, don't come home a-drinkin', With lovin' on your mind. Uplifting? In a way. Natasha

Well... there are two songs that totally can uplift my spirits and never leave me sad and blueRay of Light by Madonna Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun She's got herself a universe gone quickly For the call of thunder threatens everyone And I feel like I just got home And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel Faster than the speeding light she's flying Trying to remember where it all began She's got herself a little piece of heaven Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one And I feel like I just got home And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a ray of light Then gone for Someone else shall be there Through the endless years She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe And I feel And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a ray of light she's flying Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying And the second one also by Madonna... the evergreen classic.. Into the Groove
And you can dance For inspiration Come on I'm waiting Get into the groove Boy you've got to prove Your love to me, yeah Get up on your feet, yeah Step to the beat Boy what will it be Music can be such a revelation Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation We might be lovers if the rhythm's right I hope this feeling never ends tonight Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see I'm tired of dancing here all by myself Tonight I wanna dance with someone else Get into the groove Boy you've got to prove Your love to me, yeah Get up on your feet, yeah Step to the beat Boy what will it be Gonna get to know you in a special way This doesn't happen to me every day Don't try to hide it love wears no disguise I see the fire burning in your eyes Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see I'm tired of dancing here all by myself Tonight I wanna dance with someone else Get into the groove Boy you've got to prove Your love to me, yeah Get up on your feet, yeah Step to the beat Boy what will it be Live out your fantasy here with me Just let the music set you free Touch my body, and move in time Now I now you're mine Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine You've got to IP: Logged |

Times of Our Lives, David UsherI once saw a man on fire Just staring out his window Watching as the flames grew higher and higher I thought that I saw him cry Or was he only laughing As his life went rushing on And maybe we're just like him Maybe we're all waiting For our moment to begin Who of us are open Who of us have freedom really Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring All of us are hurting All of us are crazy now All of us are watching the world as it spins I once had a bird like you A bird of prey Still you're tearing at my insides And yesterday when you flew so far away If you find the morning save a piece for me Who of us are open Who of us have freedom really Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring All of us are hurting All of us are crazy now We're crazy now I smoked a cigarette I'll eat the flesh instead Another whisky more or less or more or less ya I like the drugs that sail I love you when we fail When we fail I once saw a man on fire Staring out his window Watching as the flames grew higher and higher I thought that I saw him cry Or was he only laughing Laughing Who of us are open Who of us have freedom really Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring All of us are hurting All of us are crazy now We're crazy now All of us are healing All of us are dreaming All of us are watching these times of our lives We want it all And we want for nothing For nothing now Ah, true, so true.... *Then some sweet guitar licks*

Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers is pretty awesome:Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels Lonely as I am Together we cry I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all that way Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away IP: Logged |

Alot of 80's classics are so nostalgiac for me! Like "everybody wants to rule the world" or that song by don henley where he says "I can see-eeeeee you" or "gypsy" by fleetwood mac. Or that song by the eagles where they say "c'mon babeeee, don't saaaay maybeeee, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you cra-azy!" ------------------ Namaste! IP: Logged |

What about "I will survive"!!?? That got me thru a lot of baaaad hours lolI am also a Spirit of the West junkie...but I think only the canucks know what I'm talking about. I always really liked "sincerly yours" ("Dear Lisa, I'm sorry. You were part of my folly. I bet you're wondering where I am...well,so am I...wondering where I am. ...my heart is more than willing, but my body finds it unfulfilling" lol) But their ALL TIME funnest song that they ever wrote/sang is HOME FOR A REST....like a really good irish drinking song lol you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best i've been gone for a month i've been drunk since i left these so-called vacations will soon be my death i'm so sick from the drink i need home for a rest we arrived in december and london was cold so we stayed in the bars along charing cross road we never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats -chorus- euston station the train journey north in the buffet car we lurched back and forth past odd crooked dykes through yorkshire's green fields we were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best i've been gone for a month i've been drunk since i left these so-called vacations will soon be my death i'm so sick from the drink i need home for a rest take me home.... by the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets a rare old perfume so seductive and sweet she'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down then walk us on home and deny us a round -chorus- the gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb and the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room i'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon and don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon... You NEED the music to this song! If anyone wants the mp3 I'll send it to you lol...if you don't feel good after belting out this song a few times, I don't know what will make you feel better! lol Nackie IP: Logged |

Don't know why but this Leonard Cohen song inspired me...hmmm. I know it seems sad, but kinda hopefulNow the flames they followed Joan of Arc as she came riding through the dark; no moon to keep her armour bright, no man to get her through this very smoky night. She said, "I'm tired of the war, I want the kind of work I had before, a wedding dress or something white to wear upon my swollen appetite." Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way, you know I've watched you riding every day and something in me yearns to win such a cold and lonesome heroine. "And who are you?" she sternly spoke to the one beneath the smoke. "Why, I'm fire," he replied, "And I love your solitude, I love your pride." "Then fire, make your body cold, I'm going to give you mine to hold," saying this she climbed inside to be his one, to be his only bride. And deep into his fiery heart he took the dust of Joan of Arc, and high above the wedding guests he hung the ashes of her wedding dress. It was deep into his fiery heart he took the dust of Joan of Arc, and then she clearly understood if he was fire, oh then she must be wood. I saw her wince, I saw her cry, I saw the glory in her eye. Myself I long for love and light, but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
