Have you ever been thinking about something, and then turn on the radio, and a song is playing that seems to confirm what you were thinking?

Or maybe you were really upset, and then heard a song that brought you great comfort?

I was having a particularly upsetting day a few months back. I climbed in my car, and I was literally in tears. I turned on my cd player, and the song that popped on was by Jewel, Good Day. "It's gonna be alright" were the first words I heard I just felt this feeling wash over me that told me it REALLY was going to be okay - and it was

I know I'm not the only one who has had these experiences, so please share

What is that called Synchronicity or something? I can't think of anything specific but yes, both me and DH have had this happen.

I'm actually a big fan of Jewel's (not the I know everything about her kind of fan, an I own four of her CD type) and find her music really comforting especially the earlier stuff.

I'm going to share with you a song that's been in my head for the last three mornings and plays over and over (totally not jewel related) to the point of driving me nuts. I'm not sure why the song is in my head but it's there. Maybe sharing it with you will remove it so I'll wake up with something else in my head tomorrow...



That's right Little Mermaid's Part of Your World. Sheesh

Yes Madonna's Frozen is one and the music by Barber:Adagio is amazing, if I need to cry and I can't I put that on and I do!
Also many of Delarious! songs
I remember one day feeling really down over something I did, that I did not like myself for, and a Don Fransico song came on, and I realized I did not have to condemn myself anymore. That was lovely

Yes Moe,that's definately a synchronicity

I don't recognize the lyrics you posted at all. That can be maddening though - having something go through your head when you can't figure out where it came from LOL.

I only have Jewel's recent album, but I plan on getting more by here. I, too, find her music very comforting.

Hi Nicola Jane,

I've never heard of Barber:Adagio. I'll have to check it out. Madonna's "Frozen" is DEFINATELY one! Ray of Light too... that song brought me so much comfort during a time in my life that was a bit uncertain. In fact, that whole cd is so amazing - one of my favorite of all time.

I,too, have found myself feel down about something, and a song will come on the radio and help me to change my perception of what's going on and I'll feel better.

Ahhh! The power of music.

Deanna,

Adagio by Barber comes on in the film 'Platoon' when Elias is being shot after he goes into the ambush, and throws his arms up and dies. It is so sad, I cry when I listen.
You are right, music is powerful. Also interestingly I heard that Satan was the leader of music, before he fell. Weird eh?

Hi Nicola Jane,

I've never seen the movie, Platoon. It looked too sad, and I have an aversion to war movies :shiver:

I had never heard about Satan being the leader of music? I recently read that the angel Sariel was a musical angel, and that he's sometimes considered a fallen angel.

One movie that I REALLY loved the soundtrack from was "Contact" with Jodie Foster. Also, "Somewhere in Time." I could listen to those over and over. Actually, I do HA HA!

Love will save The Day by Des'Ree always inspires me;

I don't know why but I find Sweet Home Alabama inspiring and a few of John Denver's songs. Take me Hooome Country road

Moe, Have you ever heard Jewel's version of Sweet Home Alabama... I really like it.

Chloe, that's a great song!

Another song I thought of recently was Magic and Xanadu by Olivia Newton John. I LOVED those songs, and they are so magical.

John Denver had some really inspirational songs like "Sunshine On My Shoulders" and "Country Road". I also like "You are the wind beneath my wings....", beautiful!

This Blood by Carman. That man has such a powerful voice and his songs are awesome.

Check it out here. It was put together in a video from scenes from the Passion of the Christ. You may have to sign into Youtube to view it because it was deemed by some to be inappropriate for all viewers. It is worth it to see the video and hear the song.

Deanna, I probably have heard it but it isn't ringing a bell at the moment. I have a strong feeling for the Alabama version though.

Phyllis, SOMS and CR are two other Denver songs I like as well. I find CR very emotional actually.

Currently for me, the song that is most inspiring is Daughtry's Over You. I am going thru divorce (husband left me for another woman) and this song gives me strength and helps me realize I CAN get over my soon to be ex husband.

CF_GAL, I listened to that whole album when dealing with my breakup last fall. Same situation, too. Love Daughtry! It feels so good to be able to rock out when you're going through hell!

I have not heard of Daughtry. What type of music is it? Or is it a person?

It's rock music. Actually, Daughtry is a person--Chris is his first name. Here's the Myspace page - you can listen to songs -- Over You is on there, too.

Daughtry on MySpace

Not to brag, but he and I are "Myspace" friends! LOL

Oh thanks Deb! I'm listening to him now --- I really LIKE him!

Gee, I wonder if he'd be my friend too... though he doesn't know me like he knows you Maybe you could put in the good word for me LOL.

Can you believe they've had over 15 million view on their page??? That just blows my mind. I have like 1500 or something - and that took a year and a half LOL.


Over you is a really good song!

Deb...I'm sorry you had to go through this too. Men suck!! Well, I guess not all of them -- Daughtry is pretty cool He has some awesome music! I was a fan of his from day one on American Idol.

Deanna -- glad we could introduce you to some new music you can enjoy!!

HI CF,

I went back and listened again I like that song "home".

Songs without lyrics are the ones that mostly inspire me. With lyrics 'Till I Collapse by Eminem, The Show Must Go On by Queen, The Eyes Of Truth by Enigma, Goodbye Milky Way by Enigma, Following The Sun by Enigma and Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen are the ones who inspire me the most.
