Songs that Inspire or Move you


After all, it's all about the music. There are certain songs that no matter how many times I hear them, they still move me. Just wanted to know some of your favorites. Doesn't necessarily have to be spiritual or gospel, but just very honest and real sounding. Here are some of my favorites.
Redemption Song-Bob Marley
Peace in the Valley-Johnny Cash at San Quentin
U R Loved-Victoria Williams
Nothing Compares to you-Toussant MCall
Dearest-Buddy Holly
May Peace find you tonight-Reckless Kelly
There is a Time-The Darlings(Dilliards) from Andy Griffith Show

Martykl: It's interesting that you mention Todd Rundgren as he's coming to my town very soon.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Richard Thompson live and while I get your point, he's absolutely wonderful! I actually meant to include a couple from Linda's lp "Fashionably Late", "All I See", @ "Dear Old Man Of Mine". As far as RT is concerned, my favorite lp by him is Pour Down Like Silver.

It's all about what makes you feel good, not what you think others think make you feel good.
Slaw-
Almost too many to list. Here's just a few.

Jackson Browne- Before the Deluge
Matraca Berg- Oh Cumberland
Lyle Lovett- Family Preserve
John Fogerty- Deja Vu (All Over Again)
Patty Loveless- Goin' Back to Harlan
Cowboy Junkies cover of Sweet Jane
Long Black Veil- Anyone (hopefully Wm Shatner never covered it ;-) Or Scarlett Johansson.
Neil Young- Ohio
Townes van Zandt- Tecumseh Valley; Nancy Griffith & Arlo Guthrie cover.

And one that's really hit me lately- I'll just mention a couple that have really hit me lately- Alison Kraus and Robert Plante covering Your Long Journey.
BeethoveN piano sonata #8.

Reminds me of Karl Haas and "adventures in good music". I loved that program on npr and learned more about classical music there than anywhere else that can recall. Also look up the word gentleman and Mr haas' photo might appear.
Thanks Swampwalker. You reminded me of a few I absolutely love that have escaped me recently. Jackson Browne's "`Sleep's Dark And Silent Gate" comes to mind as does Robert Plant/Alison Krause's " version of "Nothin'".
