mellow and meaningful?

My friend wants me to make a mix cd of songs with meaningful lyrics, but mellow. Please give me a list of some songs or artists you think fit this


Thanks

Well i can only give you songs that i have been able to use in my film work, because they enhanced storylines but the songs "lyrically" were meaningful and mellow.

Someone Else Not Me - Duran Duran
A little Bit- a-Ha
By My Side- Inxs
Searching -Inxs
Someone U Need - Howard Jones
New World - Saraya
a Fine Blue Line - a-Ha
Time and Place- Magne F
Letters From Egypt- Morten Harket
Roni's Song- John Crawford
Karma- Rick Springfield
Longest Days- John Mellencamp

just to name a few
