This week, search your heart for the songs that are full of love and healing for you. Maybe these were songs that were sung to you as a child. Maybe one is a chant you learned on a yoga retreat. Maybe there’s a song that just poured out of you at a time of unbearable grief, or inspired joy.
This is your Sing List: a list of songs that have healed, held or helped you, and that came to you from another person. These are songs that call you to your best, or calmest, or most loving self. These are songs that restore your soul.
Playlists are great, and this is not a playlist.
Take a deep breath.
What’s on your Sing List?
Have you sung from it lately?
Just thinking of each of these songs (listed in no particular order) brings up waves of emotion - The Rose (popularized by Bette Midler), In The End (by Scott Matthew), In my Life (the Beatles), A Better Place to Be Harry Chapin), Who Can I turn To (Anthony Newley), This Nearly Was Mine (from South Pacific) and Because of You (Tony Bennett)
ReplyDeleteHow's that for a start?
Just took a few minutes to sing a couple of them too.
Thanks for the idea
