**Photo by inspirational songs. @Kirsten, the vibes of ‘Turn the Beat Around’ is really infectious. Really gets you moving into action! Love the Verdi recommendation It was one of the songs we sang when I was in the high school choir! Bring back fond memories @Steven, great songs, all of them. And I especially loved Free fallin’ @Pinny, totally agree! Enya’s songs never fail to bring out some bright ideas.

They were often used in personal development seminars & weddings over here too! Everyone, thanks for introducing some great songs to me good stuff.

And for those who wants to listen to the new recommendations, just go to and search for the music video. Keep the recommendations coming! • at 2:11 pm. If you don’t mind going back to the 80’s, might as well add the Greatest American Hero theme song or the lesser known Spikolli’s Theme from The Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack. Also Neil Diamond did a 70s song tribute to Johnathan Livingston Seagul that’s pretty inspirational.

I also like to play Queen’s Flash Gordon theme when I want to go on an ego trip or make fun of people who think they are the “Savior of the Universe!!” Being a Canadian myself, I can’t tollerate Celine Dionmy inspriation goes out the window when I hear her screaching. • Ellesse at 9:31 am. Wow Frank, that’s some great introduction to the songs you’ve suggested! I’ll definitely check them out later on Youtube! Microsoft Bartender (Recipes Of Drinks) Free Download Programs more. And for Celine Dion, I’m really sorry if my listing of her songs have affected you in a way or another. I’ve tried to make the list as diversified as possible but I reckon that different people have different personal preferences, especially when it comes to something so moving such as songs or music.

And I fully respect that! Nonetheless, I sincerely thank you for dropping by and expressing your frank opinion Really appreciate that!

Thanks for the great introduction. @Denise, thanks for the kind reminder! Rolling Stones’ a classic too. @Angela, yeah. He was not confident of himself, often a subject of bully when he was younger but that didn’t stop him from becoming one of the world’s greatest inspiration.

@TJ, I’m sorry to admit I didn’t buy his album **embarrassed**. In fact, if wasn’t for my brother who frequents youtube, I wouldn’t have heard about his amazing story. That’ being said, I’m glad you’ve done the work for us by introducing his songs. Will definitely check them out!

So no one thought of the Greatest love of all? Firstly not only would Whitney Houston buy and sell Enya she has the best vocal ability (in her hey day) then all of them.

I’m looking to make an inspirational playlist for my boyfriend who’s working hard at trying to turn his life round. I loe most of the songs on here but here are some more that really speak to me. What makes you different (makes you beautiful) by the Backstreet Boys 2. Dancing in the Moonlight by TopLoader (the whole vibe of the song never fails to put me in a good mood). Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts 4.

At the Cross by Hillsong 5. Lean on me by Kirk Franklin Please listen to these songs and the message they’re portraying, it’s truly beautiful =) • Sun at 4:35 am. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Lovely, lovely music! XDDD I live my life through music, and in my opinion it is the language of the soul. Someone can verbally say something, and no one will understand it, but as soon as you add the melody, pretty much everyone understands what is being said! Its quite a nice to see that there are people who care about others and help them even if they know each other wait a minute thats what makes us human.

Anyway this is quite a nice site with not just full of motivational songs but also with full of inspirational people in the end. Smile, enjoy and live your fullest coz who knows when are you gonna live again.

And a special thanks to Ellesse for making such a nice contribution coz everyone goes down under every once in a while the trick is to keep breathing and these songs are just one of those life savers • at 6:55 am. Well I have to say this list is unbelievable in terms of artists and music.

Kelly and the rest of them are simply amazing. Though I have one question for you. There is this band named Explosions in the Sky. Perhaps you have heard of them or maybe you haven’t but I suggest that you take a listen to them. They’re an instrumental band so no vocals but the artistry with the instruments is truly inspiring and will also get you excited for some event like sports or anything else, they are truly captivating with music. Also fun fact: They are the band that did most of the music in the film Friday Night Lights so please take a listen to them if you get a chance to.

• Ellesse at 3:02 am. Great list and great suggestions. Making an inspiratioal CD because of the latest single by Shania Twain (thank GOD she came back!!). Some on my cd are listed here, but here’s a couple more: dream BIG – Ryan Shupe & the Rubber Band (powerful lyrics – gets you teary eyed) Happy – Leona Lewis Today is Your Day – Shania Twain (released June 12, 2011 on itunes) I Hope You Dance – Lee Ann Womack Stand – Rascall Flatts I Believe I Can Fly – R. Kelley Three Little Birds – Bob Marley I’m Alive – Celine Dion I’m Free – Jon Secada The Climb – Miley Cirus You Gotta Be – Des’ree One Moment In Time – classic Whitney Houston • Vicky at 4:33 pm. Day By Day – Doug and The Slugs Metalingus – AlterBridge Someday I’ll be Saturday Night – Bon Jovi Any Other Day – Bon Jovi Promise – Eve 6 The Dance – Garth Brooks Unanswered Prayers – Garth Brooks Someone Who’s Cool – The Odds How Do You Like Me Now – Toby Keith Rockstar – Rihanna 18 Wheeler – P!nk Raise Your Glass – P!nk F-ing Perfect – P!nk God Is A DJ – P!nk Have A Nice Day – Bon Jovi Bounce – Bon Jovi Welcome to Wherever You Are – Bon Jovi Keep The Faith – Bon Jovi These are more motivational than inspirational for the most part. They keep me feeling hopeful and looking forward.
