Music that Inspires

Hello all,
I've been lurking here for a few days and decided to finally sit down and take the time to sign up tonight. There will be plenty of posts to talk about my alcoholism and why I decided to finally get clean, but I'm in a good mood tonight so I thought I'd start my journey here on a positive note:

What are some great songs and music that gets you inspired about being sober? I'll start: I'm can't stop listening to "Young Homie" by Chris René, it's about his coming away from addiction (meth, booze and weed). Sample lyric:

"This is the remedy,
And I got the recipe,
I don't need no Hennessy,
Yeah, it's been three years now,
Haven't had a drink and I'm starting to see clear now,
I'm putting all my fears down,
I can hear the cheers now,
Seeing peace signs when I look around."

What do you guys listen to???

Ashes & Fire by Ryan Adams. His first record since sobriety. Especially when you compare it to his previous not so sober records. Plus he got Mandy Moore in the process :-)

Not about sobriety but - Aretha Franklin 'I knew you were waiting for me'

Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally

Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes I did, I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith

anything classical: Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and the many other classical and baroque composers. also blues and jazz and classic rock. but classical is my favorite.
