Yes, very much. I play music every single day (TV on, but muted, it's the music that fills my space). All genres of music, and so many mirror my long life that it would take a book to go through them all.

All I can say is that it would be a hard pick for me if I had to choose between deaf or blind.

Excellent post Mistri, I may contribute again as it expands.

Yeah... what she said.

You are My Special Angel--When I needed someone badly.

Also way back--Du Pinto de Blu --I played that all the time--Don't remember if spelling is correct.

It changes. And, for me, when I feel the need to listen to a particular piece of music or a song, I have to listen to it repeatedly. I'm talkin' over and over again. I don't take any medications, so I figure music takes the place of pills. I guess that means I self-medicate with music.

May I share a video? I often watch this and I feel better after I do.

Squirrel! I think this thread is a great idea!

Sorry to add a sad note, but in the car driving my Mom to the last of her radiation treatments for a brain tumor, the country song "Diamond in the Dust" by Mark Gray. It was actually a romantic song, but the lyrics "She was a diamond in the dust, shine beneath the rust, someone that I could trust....." made me think what a diamond she was in spite of the drastic changes in her due to her illness. I lost her a couple of months later, but recorded that song and cannot hear it now without tears - she was a real "diamond"......This is on my mind now because her birthday would be March 7.

On a happier note, the songs on Meat Loaf's Bat Out of H-ll album - I was a single mom and took my son to the beach when he was about 13-14 and we sang at the top of our lungs all the way there and back in a Camaro with the T-tops off! What wonderful memories!

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird. Two tried and true rock anthems that still make me sit up and listen. They brings back good memories and just plain old make me feel good.

The Beatles' In My Life has been ""my song"" for as long as I can remember.

"Together Again" by Janet Jackson, when a loved one has died.

"Miracles" by the Jefferson Starship, makes me feel good and hopeful

"Itchycoo Park" reminds me of when good things happen: "It's all too beautiful"!!!

On a lustier note (pun intended), "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is perfect background music for doing the 'mattress mambo' ;-)
