".. to Sooth the Savage Beast" - William Congreve, 1697.
Blows off SORROW, as I just covered, but can Calm, Relax and INSPIRE also. I Like UPLIFTING songs too. Like Eurythmics "Right By Your Side" and many others.
I have Therapy Songs for New Survivors too (and OLD ones! 🙂 )
Great Music, and sometimes the WORDS work out Awesome from a Survivor's POV. Just FIT!!
Two good Starters, for a bit of HOPE and HEALING here..
"I'll Find My Way Home", by Jon Anderson of YES, and Mr Vangelis Papathanous, of Chariots of Fire Fame.
"You ask Me Where to begin - Am I so Lost in MY Sin
You ask me Where did I Fall - I'll say I Can't tell you When
But if my Spirit is Lost.... How will I Find what is near?
No Question, I'm Not ALONE - Somehow I'll Find My Way Home
And Our Own Lady Olivia Newtron Bomb, (((RIP))).
MAGIC from Xanadu
Loved the Eerie TUNE - what IS that Guitar chord? 🙂 - and when I SAW into the Words, well Olivia was the Kind voice of Every Guardian Angel I ever dreamed of, ready to Drop Everything And Fly to my Rescue.. AND Offer Healing. Awesome! 🙂
"Come take my hand, you should KNOW ME
I've ALWAYS been In Your Mind - You KNOW I will be KIND,
I'll Be GUIDING YOU, Building your DREAm
Has to Start NOW, there's No Other Road to Take
You Won't make a Mistake, I'll be Guiding you"
"I'll be Near You,
Come ANY Time you call,
Catch You when you Fall.."
🙂

AH, No LINKS here, I see, got removed.
Fair Enough! 🙂
But the JON/Vangelis and OLIVIA tracks are both worth looking at. Haunting Music, Powerful words, Great SINGING...
I generally go for LYRIC Videos on You Tube - not everyone's Diction or MIXING are good.. 🙂

Thanks Lily, you won't be dissappointed if you like Strong MELODY and Magic words. 🙂
Eurythmics recommended too..
"I need to Swing from Limb to Limb
To Relieve the STRESS I'm In
'Cause When DEPRESSION Starts to WIN,
I need to Be Right By Your Side! " 🙂 Very UP song!! 🙂
