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.

Love this thread! Loooove music but can't play any instrument for nuts. So I bought a cheap karaoke machine and sing my heart out reading lyrics on you tube - it makes my son smile and I realise he will be my only audience I will EVER have 🙂
I listened to 'sitting'' and read the lyrics. I can relate to life being a maze with doors opening on the other side and me pulling the door ((F*ng thing, they're shut lol) to get through (live) and all I really need to do is stop, step back, and perhaps read the sign? (push)
I am a music junky with no real agenda...
Pop rock blues alternative punk rap classic
To relax I like listening to David Arkenstone
To dance I like Arab and Indian music
To relive memories I listen to 60/70/80/90's
To fantasize a story in my head I listen to Classic (to distract myself when overthinking) but be carefull as some music can hit a nerve and tears will flow)
Thank you for reading my music addiction story 🙂
