This group used to include music. So I'm adding something.

One Direction It's a live band from 2014. in Milan. Very good. I even like their music. There's something about guy bands. These guys are good and the crowd just loves them. Their music is really good. I never heard of them before. I like to catch live shows even if it's old recorded ones. I'm impressed. It sure seems like fun!

Thanks for your post, I had just been thinking that I'd llike to see a fav music/sharing thread on the forums here, so I'm really glad you started it!

 

What are your top-favorite songs, ever?  Mine are 'One' by U2, which I find very emotional.  It rises in cresendo by the ending of the song, and really makes an impact (at least for me).  A life-long song that will just pop into my head from time to time for no reason:  "Last Time I Saw Him" by Diana Ross, which has lyrics about an either really naive dumb bunny who is too trusting, or a very loyal girlfriend!  It has a fun, upbeat tempo.

My current loves are Mumford & Sons, have you listened to any of their stuff?  "Lover of the Light" is a fav, "I Will Wait," & "Hopeless Wanderer."  Many of their lyrics are incredibly inspiring to me. For example, "I will learn to love the skies I'm under."  I love that!  It is a line from "Hopeless Wanderer."  I am using it with a special font to create lyric art (like a framed photo) & have it placed in a frame as an inspiring reminder to myself.  You can find their music videos on YouTube.

Link, "Lover of the Light" by Mumford & Sons, with actor Idris Alba, and more songs from a playlist ...where they have comediennes acting the roles of the real band & gets pretty hilarious by the end!  The first time I saw it, I didn't know what the real band looked like, so they fooled me hook, line & sinker, lol.

A piece of music I listen to when I am worried or have anxiety & need to calm down:

 

Singh Kaur Crimson Collection Vol. 6, Ardas: '“Ardas by Singh Kaur (Answers Your Prayers) In ancient times, Ardas was known as the prayer that goes beyond all prayers: it has the power of all prayers in one." From Crimson Collection, Volumes 6 & 7 CD.  It does feel healing, & you may feel it immediately start calming you & I recommend listening to it with headphones for the full effect. This is from years ago, but is really special.

Those are the favs I can think of right off the top of my head, but don't get me started because I could do this all day, lol.  I'd love to see other people's fav music selections, too Smiley Happy
