Songs about hope (Need your help!)

[lupo pazzesco]

Nickelback - I'd Come For You
Nickelback - Savin Me
Nickelback - If Everyone Cared

(Yes, I like Nickelback. )


Black Eyed Peas - One Tribe. I love that song. I do. all about unity and brotherhood, etc, etc.

[Eisa]

"Come What May" off the Moulin Rouge soundtrack

[Amethyst Hunter]

Flipping through my current listens...



Poison - Something To Believe In

Ozzy Osbourne - Scream

Pink - Funhouse and So What

Lita Ford - Can't Catch Me

Adam Lambert - Sure Fire Winners

Owl City - Pretty much the whole damn cd, but especially the beginning and ending tracks

[Eisa]

Judging from what I'm listening to right now, never pick anything by KoRn. NEVER. Or Sentenced. Especially Sentenced. They're more like...if you want to watch your last drop of hope circle the drain and drop into the abyss. Anyway.

This is a really specific hope song, but "Let Go Let Peace Come In." Basically about survivors of child abuse and how you can pick up the pieces again and go on. On a similar note: Dream Theater's "Anna Lee."

"I'm a Survivor?"

Westlife: "Flying Without Wings"
Mamas & Papas: "Dream a Little Dream of Me"
Lee Ann Womack: "I Hope You Dance"

[Cat]

"the climb" by Miley Cyrus I think (embarrassed to admit I like that song)

"Mary Ellen Carter" by Stan Roger
esp this part:
"and you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

Rise again, rise again
Though your heart it be broken or life about to end
No matter what you lost, be a home a love a friend
Like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!"

Haha, sorry that was long, I love that song, and there is a story about how it saved some ones life (look it up in wiki, it's a good tale)

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, man. I am ashamed. How could I forget The Mary Ellen Carter?

What a song that is.

[SengaKitty]

To add another: Superchick- Hero

[Linda]

Be Strong by Delta Goodrem always helps me at tough times.

Enter The Haggis: "Lights & Cars", "Life For Love", "Down With The Ship", and "Broken Line"

Celtic Woman: "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears", "Sing Out", "When You Believe", "Mo Ghile Mear"

"Passion, Love, & Pride" by Tip The Van
"Thank You!!!" by Home Made Kazoku. Also, their song "Nagareboshi (Shooting Star)"
"Telescope" by Sleepin' Johnny Fish
"Life" and "Rolling Star" by YUI
"Seize The Day" and "Once and For All" from Newsies
"Seasons of Love" from Rent
"Defying Gravity" from Wicked

"Born To Fly" by Sara Evans
"Happy Girl" by Martina McBride
"Love Come Lighten My Load" by Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers
"Now We Are Free" from the Gladiator soundtrack...

Those are all the ones I can think of right now. I like a lot of different music genres, if it wasn't obvious.

[SengaKitty]

Oh man! I really should've played Defying Gravity! I forgot about that one >.<

ETA: Right before I played "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore last night, I dedicated it to my Marine, who was at the event. Of course I was in tears on air telling him that all the things he does for me, and his love, give me hope. Had a lot of "Awwwwwwws" from the crowd, and he said to me in private later that he may not show emotions much but that he does love me and it meant a lot to him. Yeah that had me crying again.... For the record, I did wake up for his call this morning

[MnR]

*comes out of lurking*

Well the songs that pulled me through my darkest days are:

Hold On by Good Charlotte

We Believe by Good Charlotte

March On by Good Charlotte

wow... I'm noticing a pattern here.

The Answer to Our Life by Backstreet Boys

Those are the only ones that I haven't seen mentioned that helped me out the most.

*hides again*

[SengaKitty]

I love Hold On by Good Charlotte. Love love love it. Haven't heard the others, so I'll have to go download them now.

What about Simple Plan - Perfect?

[Whiskey]

Hold On by Good Charlotte

I was just going to say this for some reason.

he may not show emotions much

Sounds like every marine I've ever known. You gotta know how to look for those emotions because theyre brick walls, those boys

edit: simple plan is a little too whiny for me imo. It reeks of "suburban teenager" more than "i lived through this"

Oh god whats that staind song? All of you know what I'm talking about.

[SengaKitty]

Sounds like every marine I've ever known. You gotta know how to look for those emotions because theyre brick walls, those boys
.

When he calls me every morning on his way home from work, and then calls me at night for our before bed smokey treat, just to talk to me before work/before bed, and hearing his voice change just a little bit when he says he loves me, or tells me to have a good night. That's when I see his emotions. He's a good good man.

ETA: Which Staind song????

[Eisa]

Do you mean "It's Been a While?" 'Cause I LOVE that song.

How about the simple, classic "You Are My Sunshine?"

And just because it makes me laugh when I feel down, Aqua: "Candyman."
