Songs that move you.

[Angel77]

A lot of us have mentioned that music is a big part of our lives, whether we play instruments, write music or simply enjoy listening to music that moves us. What songs do you find yourself listening to whenever life moves you - happy, sad, angry, etc. I find music to be extremely theraputic whenever life is well, life.

What can I say? I love music and sharing music with others. 🙂

Here's one that I absolutely love. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've listened to this song. A favorite of mine during sad times I must say. You can just hear the sadness and despair in her voice in this song. To me it's like she felt my pain too and decided to sing for both of us.

Annie is amazing.

[Angel77]

One of my favorite pieces played by one of my absolutely favorite pianists, Lang Lang.

Song translation into English - The Girl with the Flaxen Hair.

I'm a big Debussy fan and this is just a beautiful piece.

"Unexpected Song"
Sarah Brightman

and many others...

-o0o-

I'm a big Debussy fan and this is just a beautiful piece.

I like Debussy's "Reverie"

 

[Angel77]

^ Sarah is fantastic!

I love this song so much and k.d.'s version is just unbelievable and my absolute favorite.

Tom, I had no idea you're a fan of Yentl! :
Wow...you're a fan of two of the things that remind me of my mom (the other being John Denver). xD Dude, you're freaking me out. LOL

I don't know if any of you have seen the cute, but serious animated movie called "Once Upon a Forest", but I do love the song at the end credits:

I also think Crush 40's "Live Life" is quite beautiful and inspiring:

I love Yentl! That song makes me a tear factory everytime I hear it. As for JD! Well, you know the story! Both these songs remind me of my Mom too.

I love Devendra Banhart. This is one of his most underrated songs...I think I love it because of the cello part, I wish I could find the sheet music to it

[nenezinho]

I allways love this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzpW7P83sb4

Whenever i race (seldom these days) i like to listen Tina Turner before...gets me in the mood to go fast 🙂 there´s something about this music which calls speed 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibtc9J9AUqk&feature=related

And i like this portuguese one when i want to cheer up...nice rock band and the song simply goes like "i shall do things my way, any day, any hour, i will simply blow it forever, and maybe i will burn in your fire, but will allways be my way" nice!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDwJKteKRbo

And if i want to feel sad...there´s this traditional portuguese college song, a farewell song to college, in the portuguese style called "Fado"...fantastic guitar and very sad to say goodbye to college:
