Share Songs that Motivate and Talk to You


[...]

Recommended Posts

Today I'm celebrating my jump day!  :o

 

I've been compiling a YouTube playlist of songs that really speak to me during these difficult times.  I play them regularly and listen closely to the words.  They help lift me up during those wound-licking days, and motivate me to get up and do more.

 

Maybe they can help you too.  Do you have any special songs you'd care to share?  Help me grow my playlist and let's all start our days off feeling comforted, motivated and inspired.

 

I'll start with my first ...

 

Shania Twain "Today is Your Day"

 

 

 

"You've got what it takes, you can win

Today is your day to begin

Don't give up here, don't you quit

The moment is now, this is it

Know that you can, then you will

Get to the top of the hill ..."

Hi abcd

 

The words of that song are so good.  I like "Climb Every Mountain" which comes from the film The Sound of Music". Very old film now!!!

Oh cool, thanks guys!  Labi Siffre, wow, what a voice (hadn't heard of him before).

 

And my contribution for today is ...

 

"Ooh Child" - The Chi-Lites

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DHRGrIqmb0

 

"Ooh Child, things are gonna get easier

Ooh Child, things will get brighter

Some day, we'll put it together and we'll get it undone

Some day, when your head is much lighter

Some day, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun

Some day, when the world is much brighter"

Another great version by Hall & Oates

 

"Some day, we'll put together what was coming undone

Some day, we'll tie it all tighter

Some day, we can lay in the rays of a beautiful sun

Some day, the sky will be brighter"

Thanks, Thundercats, I couldn't find the Logan song though.

 

And now the classic from the two divas.  Beautiful, beautiful video too!

"When You Believe" - Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston (RIP)

"They don't always happen when you ask

And it's easy to give in to your fears

But when you're blinded by your pain

Can't see your way clear through the rain

A small, but still, resilient voice

Says help is very near

 

Who knows what miracles

You can achieve

When you believe

Somehow you will

You will, when you believe"

Ooh, now I'm really dating myself!  :P

 

"The Morning After" - Maureen McGovern

 

"There's got to be a morning after

If we can hold on through the night

We have a chance to find the sunshine

Let's keep on looking for the light ...

 

"Oh, can't you see the morning after

It's waiting right outside the storm ...

 

"We're moving closer to the shore

I know we'll be there by tomorrow

And we'll escape the darkness

We won't be searching any more ..."

"I won't back down" - Tom Petty

"You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

 

"Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from dragging me down"

"Stand Tall" - Burton Cummings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QewlA7_b5p0

 

"Somewhere down the road

Maybe all those years will find some meaning

I just can't think about them now

Or live them out anymore

 

"Stand tall, don't you fall

For Gd's sake don't go and do something foolish

 

"Stand tall, don't you fall

Don't you do something you might regret later

You're feelin' it like everyone ..."

"You Raise Me Up" - Westlife

"When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

 

"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be."

Beautiful song, beautiful words!

 

"Through the Rain" - Mariah Carey

 

"When you get caught in the rain with nowhere to run

When you're distraught and in pain without anyone

When you keep crying out to be saved

But nobody comes and you feel so far away

That you just can't find your way home

 

"I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again on my own

And I know that I'm strong enough to mend

And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day and I make it through the rain"

For the gals ...

 

"I am Woman" - Helen Reddy

 

"You can bend but never break me

'cause it only serves to make me

More determined to achieve my final goal

And I come back even stronger

Not a novice any longer

'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

 

"Oh yes, I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to I can face anything

I am strong, I am invincible

I am woman"

Yes!  Much prefer the Stairway to Heaven.  We've put the Highway to Hell behind us now!    :smitten:

 

Today's choice ...

 

"I Believe I Can Fly" - R. Kelly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYGSC9wiOYE

"See I was on the verge of breaking down

Sometimes silence can seem so loud

There are miracles in life I must achieve

But first I know it starts inside of me

 

"If I can see it, then I can be it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

 

"I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly ..."

"I Made it Through the Day" - Keith Urban

 

"As I turn out the light and bow my head to pray

The answered prayer I'm thankful for

Is I made it through the day ...

 

"I'm not trying to change the world

I'm just trying to find my way

And I still stumble now and then

But I made it through the day

 

"Whoa I was guilty of takin' this life for granted

Letting time slip through my hands

Til I was empty-handed

Now I know how much I have and I ain't gonna lose it

Cause I've been given a second chance

And I intend to use it ..."

"Roar" - Katy Perry

 

"You held me down, but I got up

Get ready cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now                                                                             

"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire      :boxer:

Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar ..."
