Last night on American Idol, the Elite 8 say the song that most inspires them. I was a bit surprised at the range of songs they chose.
Several of the contestants stepped up to the plate with inspiration performances.
And it got me wondering what song would I pick as my inspirational choice (I promise that I won't sing, just write).
I've decided on Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance."
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
It took me a long time to realize that the safe route wasn't always the best route. I was afraid of failure. I didn't realize that I would become a better person because of the chances I take, that the rewards outweigh the risks.
And that's a life lesson I hope to pass on to my kids and I think this song does a great job of relaying that message.

Clannadh's "Ride On".
Most of my songs either inspire me to verse,
or get me in the mood for war. Granted there rarely is a war to get into,
but I enjoy the mood.

Good found it, Wish I could play like David Lanz, a local awesome Piano Player and one of my favorite. Funny as I taught my daughter how to play this and now she is way better then me...
Cristofori's Dream: David Lanz
These next two are another friend that is one very talent person that has a small band and 1 CD, almost got number 2 finished and I think has some pretty amazing talent both in writing and music. Is There Anyone Left? Saher Galt
anyone left there inside,
anyone left alive?
will I hear your whispers,
or the deafening wail of sirens?
tell me is there anyone inside?I know you waited for me here, blind by your tears,
all alone, all these years, could I lose you dear,
when I am so near?thought I might forget you in time,
you never even left my mind.
now I've come to find you,
but I fear I've come too late,
tell me there's one life left to save...no, this don't stop here, though we're long past hope, because you and I know it's meant to be...
and if all I have found is silent now,
then I'll lay down too, near you.
I kinda liked both the music and the video effects that Saher did with the one also. The Beautiful Longing Words: Saher Galt
I heard the beautiful, longing words,
and knew that's just what comes first.
she's speaking a slow, black hearse,
to carry me out.I saw the sultry, unending dance,
the vile, inviting glance,
pointed away from me-
I know just what this means.I learned nothing new in truth,
I learned nothing new,
just blood and tears escaping my youth,
and the long red trail leads right back to you.I knew treachery in an instant,
and memories once so brilliant,
drifted off sadly dim,
into the distance.
He has a band also that you can listen to the whole CD (free) just by going to the web page, nothing like some free music :-) Galt Aureus
OK promise, no more music from me since I used up 99% of your column space...

Maire Brennan is the ultimate test of a stereo system just how well it will perform at its limits. I use her all the time as my "Test CD" for checking out new equipment, headphones, speakers, etc. If it will pass her unreal tonal range, it will pass anything.....
Pat Benatar is another good one for testing music systems. Plus I just happen to love her music...

I cannot believe I forgot Dan Fogelberg. I think I have learned almost every song of his on both guitar and piano and that was a rough day for me when he passed away. I could fill a book with my favorites of his. But a mini-sample"
My favorite same auld lang syne
My all time favorite from Dan Believe In Me
If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart
Despite the doubts you harbor
Then you might
Come to believe in me.The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday youll find
That you can believe in me.Those other loves that
Came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me.Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isnt something
Thats spoken
And loves never wrong
When its real.If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me.Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isnt something
Thats spoken
And loves never wrong
When its real.If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me.
Aug. 13 1951 --- Dec. 16 2007 R.I.P My friend Dan
A personal letter from D.F.I cannot adequately express my gratitude to all of the thousands of wonderful people who have sent such incredibly moving and supportive e-mails via the Living Legacy web site. It is truly overwhelming and humbling to realize how many lives my music has touched so deeply all these years. Each one of you who have taken the time and effort to reach out to Jean and I have helped immeasurably to uplift our spirits and keep us looking strongly forward during some very rough moments. I thank you from the very depths of my heart.
I currently have no plans to return to the concert stage or the recording studio in the foreseeable future, but who knows? At least for now, I prefer to keep my options open.
Again my deepest thanks and love to all,
Dan

That was a rough day for me as he was a huge inspiration for me in my music career. I have ever one of his CD's and seen him in concert 11 times and know at least 25 of his songs by heart.
That is one artist and friend I never shall forget.

The album he did with Ricky Skaggs is one of my favorites. I also love "Phoenix" and "Netherlands" and "The Innocent Age," as well as his stunning work with Tim Weissberg. Dan Fogelberg was what I think we could call a "beautiful soul" whose artistry defied easy categorization.
Good call, Ted. I appreciate your tribute to him here. He is definitely worthy of it.

You just picked some of my favorites. I saw Dan live with Tim Weissberg and that was a true work of art between two masters.
Dan had several albums that never really made it big, but have some of his best works on them if you ever get a chance to check them out

+Something Old and Borrowed Blues-Live
+Full Circle

This is a really interesting question. I don't have links, but I'll give some quotes from mine. I'd have to have a few, too, like Ms C and like the Theme Song thread. (Was that one you, too?)
With all that I am,
I will lift my voice
To start this revolution.
It starts today
And it starts with me!
Silent no longer!
-Killswitch Engage, "Break the Silence"
Now's the time to rearrange your life and life for something outside of your own mind.
-Rise Against, "Alive and Well"
And someday soon, my friends, this ride will come to and end,
But we can't just get in line again.
-Streetlight Manifesto, "Somewhere in the Between"
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but if I do later I'll come back.

Redemption Song - Lyrics
"Old pirates, yes they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hands were made strong
By the hand of the Almighty,
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly. Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom,
'Cos all I ever had, redemption songs.Emanicipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear from atomic energy
Cos non o'them can stop the tide.
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it,
We've got to fulfill the Book.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom,
'Cos all I ever had, redemption songs."
Awesome, amazing song, Michael, with real feeling behind it, and with one of the most quoted lines in a song. I remember when Bob Marley made it in Trench Town, and if you knew Trench Town, you would know why that song came out of him! Thanks for that.

Thanks, I grew up in New York City, so Billy the Kid was a fav.
I would also throw You're My Home into the mix.
When you touch my weary head
And you tell me ev'rything will be alright
You say use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Wherever we're together
That's my home
Can there be a better way to describe a true relationship? "Wherever we're together that's my home"

Thanks, RG ... great songs. Don't forget "Gloria," "Rejoice," and "40" from the U2 catalog.
I neglected to mention, heheheheh, in the middle of my long list, some more essentials:
The entire soundtracks of Chariots of Fire and Rocky and the entire Beach Boys Pet Sounds and Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life albums.

Having trouble with my computer links tonight, but did you by any chance link "Belfast Child" by Simple Minds? I love that song and I love the city.
"Alive and Kicking," speaking of Simple Minds, is a great tune.
For lullabyes, I used to sing "Alright for Now" by Tom Petty, and also "Blue Shadows on the Trail" from the "Stay Awake" Disney Tribute CD.
And, LOL, Ms. C, I'm just cheating now by listing so many songs. So far, Vacelts has graciously indulged me.

The second verse is my favorite:
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Then of course the chorus
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
But only if you have to

Rush and Kansas both have some really inspiring songs. I liked the non-conformity of "Subdivisions," and even though I'm not agnostic, I think "Tom Sawyer" is a cool song.
With Kansas, I have always drawn a lot of strength from "The Wall" (which pre-dated Pink Floyd's own concept album by three years):
To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to seeGold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss
(Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh)
Other Kansas songs that inspire: "Crossfire," "No One Together," "Curtain of Iron," "Relentless," "Hopelessly Human," "Incident on a Bridge," and the anthem, "Carry On Wayward Son": "Now your life's no longer empty, surely heaven waits for you."

Kate Bush sang on the original track.

The vid is fantastic.

I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn
-Thrice "For Miles"
and all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes
and on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed
and all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way
Hark the herald angels sing
But not for us my dear
I can't recall a single thing
Worth celebrating this year
Watch the clock and pace the floor
Shut my eyes and slam the door
Tear down the lights
We don't need them anymore...
-Jenny Owen Youngs "Things We Don't Need Anymore"
To me though, music is my way of expressing what mood I'm in. Those songs are when I'm in a better mood. When it's bitter though, I end up turning to some unconventional inspiration.

These are the days of our lives Also from Innuendo, has he ever looked more courageous. To this day I cannot listen to this song without tearing up.

I find songs that are backed with an orchestra are so much deeper and inspirational.

I find songs that are backed with an orchestra are so much deeper and inspirational.
Hence my long mania for The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) as well as other prog rock/art pop bands like Queen.
Another good orchestral-sounding prog/pop inspirational song is "Days Like These" by Asia.

The Tarja Turunen album plus my recent trip to see the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra preform Verdi's Requiem (thanks to my most awesome boyfriend) I was inspired to teach myself how to play the violin. My mother still can't believe that I went out and got one. I can play only eight notes but that's two days of learning.

The violin is an awesome instrument to learn how to play (even if I am a tad partial). I've played it for several years and I'm still amazed at how versatile and beautiful (when played right) it is.

I'm adding 3 of my favorites & some of my favorite lines too
Never Alone - Jim Brickman
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
And know in your belly
You¹re never aloneMay your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone
In My Daughter's Eyes - Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes
My Wish - Rascal Flatts
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
and if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window,
if it's cold outside,
show the world the warmth of your smile,
but more than anything, more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Sasha, I spent all of my "grown up" college years listening to him while I studied, with two kids and a full time job, it was the only way to wind down enough to relax and read.
I have never heard another pianist like him, nothing so soft and soothing, he is amazing I agree!

From a Distance - Nancy Griffith
I Will Not Be Broken - Bonnie Raitt
The Wood Song - Indigo Girls
Watershed - Indigo Girls
Cool Remove - Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter
There are others, but depending on the mood, any one of these can usually inspire me.

I adore From a Distance, but the version by Bette Middler. So strong and powerful, especially if one really listens to the words.
e.g
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man's
So empowering.

Ms C..
I like both versions. But, I prefer the one done by Nancy Griffith as she recorded it first. I believe it is powerful in it's simplicity. Plus, it easier to sing along to her version. :)
