What's everyone's favourite song with a self help/actualization theme?

[vizual]

Anything by Johann Sebastian Bach. His music is God incarnated in musical notes, doesn't get much more inspired than that(imo)

I recorded myself beatboxing and rapped my own lyrics over the top. It is called "Train Track". The song is about overcoming defeat and failure.

 The expression I use "stepping off the same damn train track" means becoming a new person and taking a new path in life.

I believe this is by far the best song for being present in the moment:

I don't listen to songs because I have come to realize that songs program your mind in specific ways. I listen to Ambient music & other instrumentals.

VNV Nation - Fearless

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me
But I found my answer
From all the chaos that followed me
I have found my answer
I've told you before don't follow me
Because I am not your answer

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Tell me, what ritual I should have today
But I'm not alone
I've resolved so many things and set myself free

Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles (George Harrison).

About that after bad times, there will be good times. Helps me to get optimistic when I'm facing difficulties.

[Stef]

 

An undisputable classic.

This goes deeper than you may think, especially for me personally. This is also my favourite song of all time. It's the song of songs, it's a musical masterpiece. The finale is EPIC!

(Believers:)
Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armageddon's drawing nigh
Sinner cry! Heathen die!
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
In the fiery rain
Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armageddon's drawing nigh
Sinner cry! Heathen die!
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria

Now the time has come, the end's begun
And the only one will come

(Gabriel:)
It has been foretold
By the visions of the old
And the madness in their eyes
Said his angel will arise
That's what they know: Holy Lord it's over, oh god
We have done no wrong
So we go where we belong
To the neverending dream
But for those who lived in sin
They claim to know: Holy Lord it's over oh god

(Pope:)
Hey Angel, can you tell me
Will you lead us to the place
Full of heat, in the fire
For we only brought disgrace

(Lugaid:)
He is not the one. If they only knew

(Bishop:)
Hey Angel, will you take us
To the judgement of his rage
Hey will we die
For we couldn't close the gate

(Lugaid:)
To the knowledge as they have been told

(Gabriel:)
I don't know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know: We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know: We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

(Pope:)
Redeemer, devastation
Hope it only has been ment
For the sin of the dreamer
Who broke the law you'd sent

(Lugaid:)
He is not the one. If they only knew

(Jakob:)
Hey, don't know but I wondered:
When we lost the seal again
Maybe stoned by the incense
Do we rise or just descent

(Lugaid:)
He is not the one. If they only knew

(Gabriel:)
I don't know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know: We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know: We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

(Solo: Henjo Richter)

(Voice in the tower:)
Woe to you longing for the wisdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you'll end burning in this night
Woe to you longing for the wisdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you'll end burning in this night

(Solo: Timo Tolkki)

(Gabriel:)
Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe
Until I felt it burning deep inside to set my spirit free
And I escaped to another world to help the little men
Who make me plunge into philosophy - to feel my mind again...
No one left to hold me tight on the real other side but her in chains

I had been alone till the madman came along
With the knowledge and silver long beard
He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free
Helping me to find -oh- the mind and the soul
They've been trying to hide it away...
And he promised we'd help Anna if I'd help him to go all the way

(Lugaid:)
Go all the way into the world of minds
Open the gate and do not close behind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Prevent them from telling us tales
Or at the end of all they scare us with will be a million empty brains...

(Gabriel:)
I could bring what you told me
The seal they need to close the gate forever
But still I haven't found a meaning
Anna will we ever be together

(Regrin:)

You've been fighting for your soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day you'll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What they call a fantasy
It is nothing but a key
To the world that now you're in
That they call a wicked dream

(Elderane:)
When you're walking on your own
when you're broken and alone
You may feel us from inside
on the other side of life
Ohohohoh...

(Gabriel:)
I've been fighting for my soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day we'll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What we call a fantasy
But it's nothing but a key
To the world that now I'm in
That we call a wicked dream

Oh, walking on my own
When I'm broken and alone
I may feel you from inside
From the other side of life

Jimi Hendrix,

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xayu6r_the-jimi-hendrix-experience-axis-bo_music

 

 

Worth listening 

really

I tried to find the studio version, this was the only one I found to share. 

   ?

[cly]

Voice from the past.

No one ever gave me a thumbs up for this posting.  I have to believe people just did not find the time to listen.

It's bumming me out. Seems impossible with a sound this deep.

If you don't know this tune, wow, you are lucky to get turned on to it now. I feel it's got soul. My first loved Hendrix tune, which drew me in to a lifetime of love of Jimi Hendrix sound.

If you're young you will be glad you listened, or old. (What's the difference, age is just a number)

again, it is

Axis, Bold as Love

jimi Hendrix

..and I could not find the regular studio version anywhere else. If you find other studio versions by Jimi, def enjoy.

just ask the axis,  like Leo, he knows everything

Thank you

Check out these two:

 

Woods of Ypres - Death Is Not An Exit

The bleak life and modern times
Of grey skies and electric light

Life... life... So life is precious, after all
Respect the body, for it is all you really are
Life... life... So life is precious after all
Protect the body, for it is all that keeps you on

We are confined, to the nature of reality
Where the failure of our system, will be the end of our dream
Between the fields of darkness, before and after we exist

Earth is a spiritual place, but there is nothing after this.

We were nothing... for a billion years before our time
And we will be... nothing more again, for an eternity yet to come

Whoa! Death is not an exit (death is the flick of the switch)
Whoa! Death is not an exit (death is a flick of off the switch)

The bleak life and modern times...Of grey skies and electric light
In the bleak life and modern times...Of grey skies and electric light

 

Woods of Ypres - Career Suicide

 

We were born to live, in a desperate time
Where it seems the death of dreams, is the end of life
 

But we have only one life to live, just one opportunity
And failure is not the end of the world, that's just society!

Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is alright
Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is fine

We are all expendable, and we can be replaced.
They have supplies of infinite lives, and no time to waste.

But we have only one life to live, one time to exist
And though there is no afterlife (after all), there is still more to life than this!

Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is alright
Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is fine
Career suicide is not real suicide its not real suicide at all...
Career suicide is not real suicide, its not the end of the world...

Death is the failure of our parts,
Failure is just the death of dreams
There's more to life than suc-cess
but only death is real...

ONLY DEATH IS REAL!

Death is the failure of our parts,
Failure is just the death of dreams
There's more to life than suc-cess
but only death is real...

Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is alright
Career suicide is not real suicide, Career suicide is fine
Career suicide is not real suicide its not real suicide at all...
Career suicide is not real suicide, its not the end of the world...its not the end of the world.
