The "Songs With Meaning" thread got me thinking...
What are the songs of hope, that encourage you, that speak to having a fresh start and not wallowing (which can be cathartic and have it's place - but should be limited -imo)?

For me the song "A New Day For You" by Basia. I could be like from the pov of your HP saying it to you.

Hello again it's me

Your shoulder's where I sit
The half, nobody sees,of a silent partnership
I am here your help at hand

I'm never far away
A clear view from where I stand
I'll be there if you need me

I am your helping hand
My words you've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

So what is this I here

you deserve a break

Take time to think it out
Don't make a new mistake
I am here your help at hand

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

My words you've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you
It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you

Hello again it's me

Ok I'll bite. I absolutely love the song "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO. I listen to it all the time. I can't post the words -- but my fav line is "Hey you with the pretty face, welcome to the human race".

I'd like to know of more songs, too. . . . .

Lyrics for: Mr. Blue Sky

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.
Hey hey

Runnin' down the avenue, (pant, pant, pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.
Hey hey

Chorus:
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

if it's hope were talking about i guess the following does it for me

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he, to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
