best inspirational songs of all time!

18 replies
you ever notice that a lot of women lately have been singing more inspirational songs than men do? why is that?

for example, two of my favorite inspirational songs are brave by sara bareilles and naturally by selena gomes.

i guess the eye of the tiger was inspirational and so was don't stop believing by journey, but i can't think of any recent ones.

do you know of any good male sung inspirational songs?

is it because men singing inspirational songs wouldn't be seen as macho?

        I like anything Sara Bareilles sings.

        One of my all time favorites would be "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and especially this version Israel Kamakawiw. I first heard this in 2006 when we were in Kauai and I have always liked it ever since...http://youtu.be/V1bFr2SWP1I

    Did you guys ever notice how powerful good music is, beyond appeal i mean. Like, your favorite inspirational song could even take you back to the first time you heard and invoke that same emotional feeling, its really dope.

      i agree, music is very dope because it invokes deep emotions in humans. it gets passion out of us, now if i can only figure out how to have this passion 24 hours a day, i will be living more inspired.

      and judging from this, many people get inspired by different songs, it's not really the words then, but the music also....interesting.

      a great john lennon inspirational song could be imagine, but that's more about possessing less, and changing our perception of riches to inner peace i suppose...
