As many of you know music can make a huge impact on your day. If you are feeling upset, and you listen to upsetting music your mood will only worsen, if you are angry you listen to angry music you only get more worked up, get my drift.
So I have a grand idea, this thread is about positive music, uplifting music. The kind of music that will hopefully bring you out of your low, if only for as long as the song plays.
So this thread is about posting the songs that lift you up, please include the: Title, Singer or Band's name, and a few of the lyrics that mean the most to you.
These songs can be of ANY genre, just as long as they have a "keep going" message!

All of us at exasco, have hurt, and will hurt again...
So for those of you in a low mood, look to these songs in encouragement...

So I will get this party started:

Title: Shine
Singer: Anna Nalick

And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead
Shine away Shine away Shine away
Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are
We’re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that’s who you are
And you’ve only begun to shine

Yeah you’ve only begun to shine
Won’t you shine shine shine shine over shadow
Shine shine shine shine over shadow
Shine shine shine shine over

Title: Exitlude
Band of Choice:The Killers
Aggressively we all defend the role we play
Regrettably time’s come to send you on your way
We’ve seen it all bonfires of trust flash floods of pain
It doesn’t really matter don’t you worry it’ll all work out
No it doesn’t even matter don’t you worry what it’s all about
We hope you enjoyed your stay
It’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day
We hope you enjoyed your stay
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away
It’s good to have you with us
Even if it’s just for the day
It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away
It’s good to have you with us
Even if it’s just for the day
It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away

It's a positive message for those who are suffering from "everyone is leaving" axiety, I'll be sure to post more songs in the future too, cause this is just an ausome idea.

Kirk Franklin - Hold Me Now Lyrics

The spring of April is gone
The leaves have all turned brown
The children have all grown up
And there's no one around
I'm looking over my life and all the mistakes I made
And I'm afraid
Afraid
Somebody told me that You would wash all my sins
And cleanse me from the scars that are so deep within
So I'm calling to You
If you can hear me
I don't know how
I was wondering can you hold me now
You are the only one that's patient when I fall
Your angels come to save me every time I call
You don't laugh at me when I make mistakes and cry
You're not like man
You understand me
See people change one day
They don't like you the next they do
I wish that everyone could love me just like You
So here I am this sinful man peace won't allow
I was wondering can you hold me now
I was wondering can you hold me now
To every broken person that may hear this song
To every boy or girl that feels their smile is gone
I know exactly how it feels to lay in the bed at night
And cry
And cry
Don't you worry God is faithful and He cares
About the tears you drop and the pain you feel He there
When you are weak that's when he's strong
Even though you don't know how
God can and he will hold you now
God can and he will hold you now
God can and he will hold you now
Don't you worry he can hold you now

WHOA OH by Runway 36(YEAH)
Some say they’re haunted
By the choices they’ve made, hope seems to fade away
Some sit there longing
For a reason to live, but there so is

Remnants of innocence
Define the battlefield of your heart
All around reverberates
The sound of hate but your hidden in love

Whoa Oh, Yeah

Tears fall down and start a river
To the ground but you’re still up stream
Drops of red you’re never dead
Hold up your head there’s battles to be won

You are not alone
Never on your own

The song is a song a hope, a never give up song.

I would really like some posts on this thread...lols

My Dreams killed me · 03-30-2008, 02:43 PM

ok, heres a post then

ok, this song encourages me even the the lyrics can sometimes refer to otherwise. The Song has such a drive to it...so much power in the vocals and the guitar.

Band Of Choice:Breaking Benjerman
Song of Choice:Blow Me Away

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)

[Bridge]
Fire your gun,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me in heaven when we die,
I have a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

There's nothing left,
So save your breath,
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown,
Nowhere to go,
Holding your fate.
(Loaded I will walk alone)

[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me in heaven when we die,
I have a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Wanting it back
(Don't fight me God!)

(Here I come! (held out for about 2 seconds))

(Die! (held out for about 5 seconds))

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me in heaven when we die,
I have a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Save us all!3x

Watching me like you never watched no one
dont tell me that you didnt try to check out my bum
cause i know that you did cause your friend told me that you liked it
gave me those poles and i thought they were ugly
though you try to tell me that you never loved me, i know that you did
cause you said it and you wrote it down
dancing at discos
eating cheese on toast
yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
but you obviously, you didnt want to stick around

sitting in restaurants

but i know now that we were not the people that we turned out to be
chatting on the phone cant take back those hours
but i wont regret cause you can grow flowers from where that used to be
dancing at discos
eating cheese on toast
ya you make me merry make me very very happy
but you obviously, you didnt want to stick around
