Quickly, I know I love to listen to Norah Jones. She is just so lovely to listen to,

Hopalong:
I love Mozart.
Saint-Saens organ symphony.
Bach tickles my brain and makes my skin sing.

Vaughan Williams, The Lark Ascending. (It literally sounds like its title, rapturous.)

My very talented ex-N taught me to stop "listening" to classical and simply grow still and HEAR it. That was a gift.

Even the heart-wrenching music, like some of the Russian composers, takes me out of myself.
It helps me feel connected to humanity itself...and somehow that heals.

I saw Mike Franti and Spearhead at the Solar Music Festival last summer.  It was the best concert I've ever attended.

I found myself listening to classical music in the car a lot, also enjoy the nature jazz sounds and sometimes meditate to them or else the music on the Weather Channel, it's so soothing.  Sometimes I just put that channel on and leave it, then when local on the 8's comes on, I am grooving!  LOL 

For a song with words, there is one by Tom Petty called "I won't back down."  That gave me strength during a frightening time.   As a teenager in the sixties, I had many albums I listened to, to help make it through my abusive situation in one piece.  Crosby Stills and Nash was played a lot, beautiful words and harmonies.  I can't stand a lot of loud music when I'm upset, it rattles my nerves and leaves me feeling drained.

thanks,
