Hi All,

I was just listening to Enya's "Only If..." and Sophie B. Hawkins "As I Lay Me Down" and I just cannot get over how positive these two songs are. I mean, regardless of the state of blues you are in, those two songs can lift you up from anywhere!

Of course assuming that you can tolerate those artists...

So it got me wondering, what other "force of nature" songs exist that have that kind of impact on one's mood for the positive? I'd love to add them to my iTunes library.

So what do you have in your library that really can swing you for a 180?

Now, please, I know musical taste can incite riot...if you do not think the two songs I listed above are powerful like I do, then resist the urge to post....please. I'm looking for ideas that are on common ground. Thanks!
