inspirational/motivational music
I was just listening to my Macklemore album on the way home from work and thinking the song "starting over" Could really help if you were struggling, was wondering if people could voice up any powerful songs that have helped them so I can give them a listen. I love music and imagine a really good playlist could help in those dark times that are coming up.

I've mentioned it elsewhere before I think but if you can do power pop listen to the album "My Dinosaur Life" by Motion City Soundtrack.
It's pretty much about life in the first year or so of sobriety, but with tons of catchy hooks and happy beats
I listened to it on a loop last weekend (first weekend sober).

Like Jipsee, I LOVE 'Brave'
These words, to me, are the essence of recovery:
"Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is"

When it's not always raining there'll be days like this
When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
When you don't need to worry there'll be days like this
When no one's in a hurry there'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
When you don't need an answer there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this
When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this
When no one steps on my dreams there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean there'll be days like this
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"

I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
Life is an unlikely miracle.

Search for the Hero, M People.

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame
Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door
Of being rich or being poor, such a shame
But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make your feelings alive
And that's why, you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream, aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find
Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your ******** to a feeling supreme
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
You've got to search, inside yourself
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
You've got to search, inside yourself
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

I loved the "brave" video on utube that you linked. It made me happy and sad at the same time. Just sad that we don't live in a world so full of freedom and celebration that dancing with your full being isn't part of every scenario...
