I've been doing a lot of walking lately and I put my headphones on and crank the music. I'm looking for really inspiring music, music that helps me believe everything will be okay. Right now I'm stuck on Sara Evans, A Little Bit Stronger.

What do the rest of you listen to that helps inspire you and give you hope?

Sorry I keep posting to this but sometimes I think we need a little inspiration to get us through. Another song that I've been listening to is "I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance. It makes me get up and wanna dance even though it's a slow song.

Damn, found another one by Alanis. It's called "Uninvited". Wow, love this woman's singing! She reminds me a little of Janis Joplin. I love Janis' songs

Coraline ( member #36434) posted at 7:16 AM on Sunday, May 26th, 2013

Stand by Rascal Flats. I HATE that band and most country music, but that song I love.. Also End of Night by Dido, which I know of because someone else posted it several weeks ago. Also I Will Wait by Munford and Sons, which sounds slightly religious and I'm not religious, but it has a couple lines that speak to me.

Paramore- Playing God, Ignorance, and Feeling Sorry. Pretty much anything from their Brand New Eyes album.

Sick Puppies- All the Same, My World

On second thought, All the Same is kinda ridiculously codependent. Don't listen to that one unless from an ironic, looking back perspective. I really couldn't see it back then.
