What song strikes a personal chord?

Kathleen O'Brien Williams 1642

Nickel creek When you come back down It speaks to the Mother in me , and its a killer ! Israel Kamokawiwo'oles version of Somewhere over the rainbow. Crazy Good Joe Cocker Have a little faith in me Brett Drennen The one who loves you the most. These are just a few of my faves I have a million of them. Wow I think I just lied, I really don't have millions of faves lets say hundreds and hope thats the truth.

Unknown Brain 1305

I GUESS I WOULD SAY RICKY VAN SHELTON----- LIFE TURNED HER THAT WAY

BECAUSE I BELIEVE I HAVE HAD MY TOES STEPPED ON TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE TOO

AND REMINDS ME A LOT LIKE THE LIFE I AM LIVING

Jerina Jahaffar 1260

This one is easy. Since I am a die hard romantic the song which makes me want to forget everything is -

You sang to me - Marc Anthony. I love the burst of music when the song starts and the way he takes the song...amazing.

Then it would be - Shania Twain - You're still the one. The one song I'd love to sing Mr. Right.

Thats it. But music as such, any day, any time, any mood. Just play it. :)

Cameron Trickey 2333

Any number of songs depending on mood.

Not Enuff Love - Faithless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrkqAd7op3Y&feature=channel_page
Relevant to me at present as the first verse is about as well as I could describe how I see the world from my perspective - 'On the path to humanity, I sit at the gate.' Not so much the second verse.

Symphony No. 3 "Sorrowful Songs" - Lento e Largo by Henryk Gorecki
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miLV0o4AhE4&feature=channel_page
This just an incredible piece of music that invokes so many emotions. It's about the holocaust and both haunting and beautiful at the same time. It's not the full piece which is 27 minutes long, but it gives an impression

Dice - Finley Quaye
http://www.livevideo.com/video/866372BD5A9A45C49CC9CE38A7F56986/dice-finley-quaye.aspx
The music to our first dance when we got married

Red House (live at woodstock) - Jimi Hendrix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umW1j_DTeWU&feature=related
Because sometimes you have to go back to real music and the inspiration for nearly all music genres out of the US, from R&b to gospel, which was inspired my the muslim beat brought over by so many africans.

For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5M_Ttstbgs&feature=related
Such relevant words then as they are today. Favourite version is at Woodstock but can't find the link.

Amy Johnston 2055

Tears in Heaven got to me the first time I heard it. Especially when I found out that Eric Clapton wrote it for his son who died. I would cry everytime I heard it when it first came out. I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby.
You've Got A Friend by James Taylor. I love that song because everyone needs to have a friend who will stand by them when they are needed the most.
I just love music because it is a powerful force. People use songs for so many different reasons. For love, healing, an outlet for frustration/anger, political statements, just for fun, etc. Music shapes our lives. Even if you're a person who does not like music, you know at least one song.

Melanie Vanessa 1259

hmm...good question....

The first song is for the man I love since 5 years now.

,,I live my life for you ", Firehouse


The second song describes my life and my feelings....in the past and,sure, in the future now.

,,May it be", Enya

Brooke Rhodes 1749

Hi. I love music so just about any song I like strikes a personal chord with me. Questions like "What is your favorite band?" or "What is your favorite song?" are really difficult to answer because you can't choose just ONE. However, you threw in the word "personal" and you can't get much more personal than a song with your name in it.

The Jerry Garcia Band/ Grateful Dead has a song called "Rubin and Cherise". The spelling is near accurate too, which is rare with my name. It's a love song with a twist and it has some really good lyrics. You can listen to a girl who covers the song with a ukelele on YouTube, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hneKHllJ450

Kasim K 1908
