Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

Ok ladies so in another thread we started talking about our favorite uplifting/inspirational songs so I thought we should do a spin off since we all have those days where we just want to give up. The ones I am going to post are spiritual related for the most part, but feell free to post any song that makes your spirits life a little bit.

1. Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood.
2. I have been Blessed by Martina McBride
3. Live like you were Dying by Tim McGraw
4. Three Wooden Crosses By ?

These are the ones that always remind me ok today sux @$$ but tomorrow will be a better day and you will feel the sunshine warm on your face once more.

Taryn suggested this one

1. 'How You Live': by Point of Grace...

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

'Let's Get Loud' by J Lo always cheers me up; also most Beatles songs and 'Spirit in the Sky' always makes me smile (it reminds me of a dear friend who passed away and everytime I'm really down it comes on the radio as if he knows I need a hug).

Also, Garth Brooks' 'The Dance' is such a powerful song-so sad but uplifting at the same time. I was in tears two nights before our wedding listening to it and crying hysterical for all different reasons :)

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

I would have to say Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. It is such a beautiful song and has so much meaning to DH & I that is why we chose this as our wedding song.

Bless The Broken Road'

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Jenn, we had it at our wedding too and I remember going 'That's my song-gotta dance.'

Also, 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond always makes me feel good-played this at the wedding too. It reminds me of my Dad since it was the first song we ever danced to.

Patty, this was our wedding song also. The words were so perfect for us especially the line 'I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you'-we had dated eighteen years ago and due to immaturity and stupidity we went our separate ways and two years ago found our way back to each other.

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

Another song that makes me feel is good is 'Only The Good Die Young' by Billy Joel. I remember my mom would dance around the house singing this song as she was cleaning. When I hear this song I can imagine her dancing around the living room with her dust cloth and I immediately start to smile.

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

ps: a great pick-me-up song as a couple is 'I will be here' by Steven Curtis Chapman....we had it sung at our ceremony. It's so beautiful...not ur typical lovey dovey love song..more like - when the going gets tough we're in this together:

I Will Be Here(Steven Curtis Chapman)

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.

DH & I both had our share of bad relationships and when we met it was like we were always ment to be together.

Christina Aguilera - Fighter

Great F You number

ETA: Slightly different then the songs you ladies were mentioning but this always puts me in a good mood!

Well I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know how just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you, cause it...

makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, ohh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanted to haunt me
but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

[Fighter lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enoughhhhhh

makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget
But I, I remember
I'll remember, I'll remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Jason Mraz's 'Life is Wondeful'


It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la it is so...

It takes some silence to make sound
And It takes a loss before you found it
And It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la it is so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full Circle
Wonderful

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

This another song that makes me feel good.

JOSH GROBAN LYRICS

'You Raise Me Up'

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.

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.

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.

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.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.
