Most Inspirational Song For You

This was not as easy to find as it might have been once. A search for “Midnight Oil Bushfire” now gives you a lot of links to a benefit concert where they apparently did not play this song.

“Bushfire” from Earth and Sun and Moon

Thank you for the responses!

Quite a few of these songs are songs I have never heard of.

Hopefully over the weekend I won’t be so tired and busy and will have some time to listen to them and respond in kind.

I really do like knowing how people think and what evokes emotion, longing, courage, etc. in them.

And who knows, I might acquire a few new favorite songs! :slight_smile:

Another one occurred to me.

If this song appeals to you, you may want to seek out Dana Cooper’s “Standing in My Own Way”. A very similar feeling. Cooper has his own recording which is great, and it has been covered by a number of people. Susan Werner most notably, but her version is just a little too “perfect”, and this is really a song about imperfection. I like Jen Cohen’s interpretation, but it may be a bit hard to find.

Hallelujah was my choice as well but my favorite is the version being recorded for Shrek of all things.

The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn by the Pogues

I’d like to say I’d lived a life like this.
