Any Positive Songs You Wish To Share?

[Artista]

I love music and have a wide range of what I like. I was wondering if anyone would share a song that is a positive, calming or strength song that helps them??? I have many that are a bit darker that help me get in touch with the darker feelings, but I am looking for hopeful ones... perhaps one I haven't heard yet! Wanting to make a playlist to run to.


I'll start by giving one I like to keep me calm.... and its about sleep, an elusive dream to me! Reminds me to just "be" in the moment.

Jack Johnson, "No other way" (a great "carer" song too i think)

and I start my run with this often, "Don't Look Back" Boston (... old 80s rock) and "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz those are just great fast songs to get my feet moving. It's part of me training my mind to escape for even just 30 minutes to get some relief from this weight on it all the time!

Hi Artista. My daughter is helping me think of songs for you...she rocks and is a carer on this forum :) Jason Mraz-I'm yours, Shwayze-Corona and Lime, Nate Dogg-Music and Me, Michael Buble-Feelin good, Owl city- Fireflys, Weezer-Island in the sun, and Nina Simone-My baby just cares for me. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

A song called "Christian Island" by Gordon Lightfoot about sailing on the Great Lakes. My favorite. Of course, most anything by Gordon Lightfoot.

And Pachelbel's Cannon In D Major done with full orchestra.

Speak by Gary Go
Wonderful by Gary Go

Gary Go is pretty awesome and uplifting.

 

[curiouser]

Mary J Blige-I'm Fine
The Rascals-It's a Beautiful Morning
Michael Franti-Say Hey I love You
Duffy-Mercy
The Outfield-I don't want to loose your love tonight
King Harvest-Dancin in the Moonlight
Pink-So What
Dave Mathews Band-Under the Table and Dreaming
Vanessa Carlton-Ordinary Day

If I'm painting or drawing, songs with lyrics can sometimes get too distracting and it's easier for me to focus if I listen to instrumental piano or jazz music.

 

[curiouser]

Wow I'm off today-that's Mary J Blige-Just Fine and Dave Mathew's Band-Under the table and Dreaming Album, as a lot of the songs on there are easy listening.

More goodies!!! :occasion:

I have some of these.... In fact Gary Go- "Wonderful", is one I recently started to play in the A.M. to remind myself of the beauty in all of us... the complexity and good stuff!!! Really beautiful, affirming words.

Yeah Nickelback gets lotsa flack critically, but the lyrics are always pretty positive. Kinda like Bon Jovi a bit harder... LOL. Bon Jovi gets no respect cuz they write so hopeful. Who cares... its good to feel good! HA! (my son plays guitar and took him to a Jovi show, when he was 7 years old, and he shook Jon's hand!! Got a pick from Richie and Jon...I just got a finger grab.. lol. I am NO groupie but it was cool!!!!!)

I have a wide range of likes in music. I find myself to be more of a lyrics junkie than anything. If it speaks to me... I listen!:wink:

I am really lovin these!! Thanks again everyone! Keep 'em comin if ya can!! I got lotsa space left on my iPod!

positive musical artists I have playin at the moment as I paint....
Lifehouse
Dave Matthews Band
Snow Patrol
Angels & Airwaves
Mat Kearney
Lenny Kravitz
Jack Johnson
Collective Soul
Alicia Keys

to name a few

more...more...please! I love finding new music!

 

[Artista]

Give a listen to Bon Jovi's new "Happy Now" from the The Circle album just out... pretty much how I feel often. Even if ya just google the lyrics... good read. Ya know what... lemme find them and paste them here! ----- It's a fast song... not slow!

What would you say to me?
If I told you I had a dream
If I told you everything
Would you tell me to go back to sleep
Take a look in these tired eyes
They're coming back to life
I know I can change
Got hope in my veins
I'm telling you I ain't going back to the pain

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turnin’ my world around

Can I be happy now?
Can I break free somehow?
I just want to live again
Love again
Pick my pride up off of the ground
I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwing stones
Got sins of my own
Ain't everybody just trying to find a way home?

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around

You're born then you die
It’s all gone in a minute
I ain't looking back
Cause I don't want to miss it
You better live now
Cause no one's going to get out alive, alive

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now?
Ohhhh
I'm turning my world around
Can I be happy now?
