If you were to make a cd of music aimed at helping anxiety/panic/depression what songs would you put on it ? songs of hope ?
I am making a cd up for this purpose and so far all I have is......


I believe I Can Fly
( Words and Music By R.Kelly )

Madonna - Die Another Day
Take That - Shine
Christina Aguilera - Fighter
Gabrielle - Gonna get better
Van Morrisson - Brown Eyed Girl
Destinys Child - Survivor............

[clickaway]

Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
You've got a Friend - Carole King - also done by James Taylor
I Hope you Dance - Lee Ann Womack

There are more, but I suggest you avoid Morrisey unless you want to be depressed for life !

Trac, liking Barry Manilow is not sad!!!

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive

We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives

Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it throught the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade

'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it throught the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

I also like this one:

There's a light behind your eyes
I see it shining, it only fades when you cry
There's a heart that beats so strong
I feel it dying when the night time lasts too long
Now you and I have lived out centuries
And all I can say is what you've offered to me

Please don't be scared, cause I stood there too
Between survival and the right thing to do
Cause only the strong admit their fears
And if you really need me I'll always be here

The parties and the lights
Fade to memories in the still of the night
And you wonder in your mind
If there's nothing left to show for all the time
Cause feeling pain's a hard way
To know you're still alive
But someday someone
Will make you glad you survived

So (repeat chorus)

Cause feeling pain's a hard way
To know you're still alive
But someday someone
Will make you glad you survived

(Repeat chorus)

No matter where you are
If you really need me, I'm never far
