Songs That Resonate With You

Songs That Resonate With You

Music is an important part of my life. It can influence your mood by calming or energising you, it can define you and give you strength. It can help you make sense of things and allow you to express your emotions. Whilst I haven't any musical ability, I enjoy listening to it.

I thought it might be of benefit for us to share some songs or even instrumental pieces that hold special significance. Post a video and say a bit about why this particular one resonates with you.

I'll start off. This one's an oldie by Cat Stevens nowadays known as Yusef Islam. For me, "Sitting" is an empowering song. It starts off by stating that "Oh I'm on my way, I know I am." Realistically it also recognises the confusion we all feel from time to time. In conclusion it offers the advice that "life is like a maze of doors" and that we have to make the correct decision about whether we push or pull to make any progress.

@Faith-and-Hope

Another restless night for me so your song choice was appropriate.

Re: Songs That Resonate With You

A song that resonates with me, not necessary in an uplifting way, but in a self reflecting way that can be used for good, is Cats in the cradle, Cat Stevens.

Every time I hear this song I think of the relationship I had with my father and see myself repeating the same behaviour with regard to my own children. Focusing too much on providing in a material sense at the cost of emotional input 😞

Somthing I am working on but finding difficult because my primary point of reference and example is that of my father. Anyway that is somthing for another thread sometime.

I always found this tune uplifting. Saw U2 in concert. Such an epic event.

It's a beautiful day!!
