I can't remember all of the ones I used to listen to, but I do remember watching the sweetest IF video with Miley Cyrus's "The Climb" in the background. That was a good one to describe the journey. There were a few others too, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

aww @ megs that is a very inspiring song when you think about it

I really like P!nk and she's such a badass. Her song 18 wheeler gets played in my car all the time, and I always feel better after screaming it on repeat for awhile :-)

Wow what a great idea. That song by Rhianna's is a good one. I agree with Megs525 as well, I love that song . The song I like to listen to when I am feeling down is "Lullaby" by Nickelback, the only thing is it makes me cry every time I hear it...

Great idea!

Of course, I have to go with Josh Groban's Brave. Besides the fact that he's my favorite (concert this Monday in Boston!!) and I used one of his songs for my wedding...it has great lyrics and an uplifting rhythm.

Let's all stay BRAVE and someday we'll be given our reason!

Josh Groban Brave Lyrics

Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.
Reach out, reach out before it fades away.
You will find the warmth when you surrender.
Smile into the fear and let it play.

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it cant be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause its all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I dont understand.
My reason to be brave.

Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.
And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.
You cant hide forever from the thunder.
Look into the storm and feel the rain.

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it cant be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause its all so close.
When you stand u and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I dont understand.
My reason to be brave.

O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh

Go on, go on

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it cant be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause its all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I dont understand.
My reason to be brave.

Hold On by Wilson Phillips is one of the greatest songs EVER and I feel like it has a whole new meaning since dealing with IF :).
It's impossible not to smile when singing it too!

I will be playlisting all of these, so keep em coming!
18 wheeler is a great song Nellysgirl, I loooooove P!nk too.
Another good one is I knew I loved you before I met you! by Savage Garden.

The song that speaks to me....even though not all the lyrics "fit" is Avicii's Wake Me Up

In particular, these lyrics:

"Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start"

and

"So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost"

"I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands...................

"Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize"

This song reminds me that we don't know where our journeys are taking us. And that everyone is on their own journey....dealing with something. And that there is wisdom to be gained even in the most painful of journeys. That is how I have felt with my two pregnancy losses in the past year.
And sometimes I do feel like "wake me up when it's all over"
And other times I do want to open my eyes to the gifts that are happening along the way.
Even though they may not be the gifts that I had intended to receive.
And that all along I didn't realize I was lost in some ways.
Until these gifts (greater compassion, understanding, love, etc.) came to me...and I couldn't have received them without going through the painful journey I've been on.
They couldn't have happened any other way. Not at this intensity.

I have felt the same about that song somuchhoping the words speak to me in the same way!!

Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne
Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

EMM I Looove "A Thousand Years"

Me too.. All of us have "died everyday waiting"
I am sure of that!

This morning I listened to "Brave" by Sara Bareillas and it made me cry. It defiantly hit home with me.

PolkaDotgirl, I cried a lot to "A Thousand Years" after my pregnancy losses. Thank you for mentioning that song.
Nedico--I'm sorry you're going through this....but it is nice to be able to connect on a song. And sometimes these lyrics can be sort of therapeutic.
Winter Song (Sarah Bereilles) was something I listened to in the weeks of my impending loss last fall/winter because some lyrics struck a chord in me. I was actually at a Winter Wonderland performance and that was one of the songs. That was the first time I heard it. I was still pregnant but a loss was predicted by the dr. I was waiting for a natural miscarriage to happen.
That song will forever make me cry.
And "Daylight" (Maroon 5) is a song that I sang and danced to when alone in my house as a way to try to help me emotionally let go of my little lost one.
I find that sometimes over-indulging in these songs can make me sadder....but when used in moderation :) they give words to what I'm feeling.
