What's Your Favourite Comforting Song?

[Guest]

Well I have a lot of songs that help me escape and relax, but the one that sticks in my mind the most is Dream a Little Dream by the Mama's and the Papas. My mom used to sing this to me most every night as a kid to put me to sleep. Even though I don't particularly remember that...I must have some kind of unconscious connection to the song. It always makes me smile, makes me think of my mom, and makes me feel safe. Actually last year on the plane ride home, they had XM radio. We were about to land (taking off and landing make me very anxious) and this song came on the radio. I knew then I would be just fine

I listen to soooo much music! I change my favorite song every day I think LOL.. soar from Christina I never heard that one, I just heard it really good thanks for that! I love christina's Voice within but now I will add Soar to that list!

I've been listening to "taking chances" from Celine Dion these past few weeks .. I like it a lot

Here are the lyrics ...

Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Move Along by All American Rejects. Ya, I know the name of the band doesn't inspire much positive thinking but it's upbeat and advocates perseverance in the face of adversity.

my 2 motivating songs right now are Enjoy Yourself by the Jackson 5 and Hold on Tight to Your Dreams by ELO!

I can completely relate, music really moves me:-) This is my favorite right now:

Stand in the Rain by Super Chick!

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain

One of my favorite songs is

Walk on by Reba Macintire...

Its an upbeat song with great lyrics......

Cant help but feel like getting up and getting on with things.

Song: Ain't No Stopping Us Now

There've been so many things that have held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around, yeah
I know we've got a long long way to go, yeah
And where we'll end up
I don't know
But we won't let nothing hold us back
We gonna get ourselves together
We gonna polish up our act, yeah
And if you've ever been held down before
I know that you refuse to be held down any more, yeah yeah
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Nothing stand in your way
And all we gonna do
I want you to listen, listen (That's right)
To every word I say
Every word I say about it

Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
(You said it, we've got the groove)
Ain't no stoppin' us now

I know you know someone who's got a negative vibe (Euhh)
And if you only help it will only keep it alive (Sh-yeah)
They really don't have nowhere to go
Ask 'em where they're going
They don't know
But we won't let nothing hold us back
We gonna get ourselves together, come on
We gonna polish up our act, yeah
And if you've ever been held down before
I know that you refuse to be held down any more, Oh oh oh

Don't you let nothing, nothing
(I won't do it) Stand in your way (No no)
And all we gonna do
I want you to listen, listen
To every word I say
Every word I say about it

When I hear "I'll Stand by You" by the pretenders it lifts me up.

I also love "It's a beautiful morning" by the rascals. That song always makes me happy the moment I think about it.
