Been thinking lately about music and its ability to really invigorate a good mood, get rid of a bad mood, or simply make one feel braver. Recently, I went through a bunch of what I consider "recovery music" to make a CD for a dear friend and I was again struck by how amazing some of the songs are. So, I thought I'd share a few choice ones with all of you, in case you have some room on a special playlist or are looking to create a recovery CD of your own.
If you have any good suggestions for "recovery" songs, let me know! (I have more too!)
For now, these are some of my favorites (my top 6 actually):
Bottom of the Barrel by Amos Lee
Happy by Natasha Bedingfield
Twisted Logic by Coldplay
No Lookin' Back by Kenny Loggins
Watershed by the Indigo Girls
Fill Your Heart by David Bowie
Share yours!

I agree, music definitely has a way of hitting home with me, and often brings up emotions that I normally can't won't access. I now have two discs of "recovery soundtrack" songs, most of them are listed here last summer, although I need to go through and make another disc soon...thanks for the song recommendations!
"Not done yet" (by Superchicks)
"Imperfect girl" (by t.A.T.u.)
