Post a song that really moves your heart and soul and inspires you

Im really into classic soul and funk but my musical tastes are all over the place.I would like to hear some of your choices for songs that make you feel good and make you think. Here are three of mine. I cannot deny how great the lyrics are on all of these.

Love Is The Answer - England Dan John Ford Coley


I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack


Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw
We gonna come on with the come on, gonna get down with the get down!

"Optimistic", by, Sounds of Blacknes.

"Have you ever seen the rain", by Credence Clearwater Revival.


These are the two songs that really keep me going. Whenever I play them, I know that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
"Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth"

Kate Bush - A Coral Room.

There's no other song I've heard that moves me quite like that one does.

I consider them completely unrelated, certainly in terms of subject matter.
I actually love them both. Each to their own, tho'. wink
