Strength? What song(s) do you listen to when you are just run down..?


One of my favorite ones is Everything by Lifehouse.

Lyrics --->

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
(Yeahhh)

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fold
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Take me deeper, now

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, you're everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, you're everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, you're everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, you're everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better, any better than this

Oh and how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better any better than this

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You're everything

[Darjeeling]

I don't know why , because I can't even understand what they're singing because it's Japanese , but whenever I'm nervous or something and I need to calm down , I listen to Moshimo Piano Ga Hiketanara by Plastic Tree .
I find that really strange because I barely listen to that band at all , and everyone'd expect me to listen to An Cafe in such a situation , including myself xD
But it just ... works .

[Madam Kira]

Just about any song by Jill Scott, but mostly Hate on Me.
Gives me so much strength/energy, especially during school. >.<

[Jurinjo]

Songs that give me strength...not ones that I just play when I'm upset or sad.

"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack
"I hope you never fear those mountains in the Distance
Never settle for the Path of least resistance"

"Firework" by Katy Perry
"You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replace"

"Buried Alive" by A7X
"Darkness keeps the light concealed
Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all"

"Forever in Love" by Kenny G

"Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga
"I'm on the edge of glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth,
I'm on the edge of glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment with you,"

"Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation
ALL of the lyrics

[Raven]

My favorite so far is Beautiful Name by ZoeGirl

It reminds me of my childhood and Sailormoon ( somehow )

the lyrics are so

your heart i seek to find

with your hands you fashioned mine

let me be used by you to carry truth

to the end of the earth

til everyone's heard

my mended heart will share your words

i will tell the world that you are God



(chorus)

i will run, i will fly

i will live to be a sacrifice

through it all i'll rise above

unafraid i will face what comes

i will run, i will fly

and for my faith i'll live and die

i'll be strong

i will press on

for the sake of your beautiful name

your beautiful name



should all life cease to grow

should chaos take control

the only hope we know

is you will save us

it's worth the cost

to take up my cross

as you take back what's been lost

until all who doubt know you are God



chorus



i'm not a captive anymore, i'm gonna soar

to a new place, take on a new pace

i know what my life is for

[Shenandoah]

If I need strength, I usually turn to whatever suits my mood. However, a song that will always move me and leave me a bit cold is The Dance by Garth Brooks. Another is The River, again by Garth Brooks. That man has been with me my entire life just about, and even though he's never met me, I'm a loyal fan.

[Alexander Linden]

I'm agreeing with Jurinjo on "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, and "Firework" by Katy Perry. I'd like to Add:

Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" and "Reflection"

Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone

[Wicked]

I don't really have one right now but the thread title reminded me of something really funny and kind of embarrassing. When I was in high school I dated this creep who cheated on me. I found out we broke up and I'm riding around with a friend and he's flipping through the presets on his radio. Britney Spears' Stronger came on and I'm like CRANK THAT.

I belted that song out at the top of my lungs and felt so much better.

[kitkitthecat]

Thank you/ Arigatou by. Home Made Kazoku or Bleach (the anime) ending two.
This song seems to just brighten my day, and tells me that I be greatful of the people in my life and to live life.

Also
Run into Flowers by. M83
This is just so relaxing to listen to. You can just imagine yourself (as the title states) "run into flowers" and all the other things that make you happy.

[Jurinjo]

Run into Flowers is more like a last courageous march into battle for me.

@Alex: Oh how could I forget Beautiful? I have that song on my playlist (and still working). Reflection is a beautiful song. Not not one I personally draw strength from though.

Since I never listen to MJ's music this was new. A very nice song. =)

EDIT:

"That's the Way It Is" by Celine Dion

[Alpha]

Right now the song that give me strength are:
Your Arms Feel Like Home by 3 Doors Down

There are others, but this one plays the most for me right now.

[Daring Scylla]

the doctor who theme song, or the 'i am the doctor' theme
really, any epic musical soundtrack is fricking motivating
