INSPIRATIONAL EMPOWERING FEEL GOOD SONGS!

No sad songs here!...songs of empowerment only!!!

My submission:

I found this up and coming artist Klair...showing support for a newcomer...lyrics are the same:

I Am Woman
-Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
...And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am womanSee More

I love this song. I am so

I love this song. I am so ready to let it all go and I will be fine! Over You By Daughtry Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down like an old abandoned house What you said when you left, just left me cold and out of breath I felt if I was in way to deep, guess I let you get the best of me Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running A long, long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years Putting my heart back together 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you You took a hammer to these walls, dragged the memories down the hall Packed your bags and walked away, there was nothing I could say And when you slammed the front door shut, a lot of others opened up So did my eyes so I could see that you never were the best for me Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running A long, long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years Putting my heart back together 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running A long, long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running A long, long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And ow I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Well, I'm putting my heart back together 'Cause I got over you and I got over you And I got over you 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you

This is for us women WHO WERE REPLACED WITH IN A BLINK OF AN EYE

This is for us women WHO WERE REPLACED WITH IN A BLINK OF AN EYE!!!! It's a little naughty, but a great F YOU SONG!!!! (I changed "older version" to "Younger version") "You Oughta Know" ALANIS MORISSETTE I want you to know, that I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An YOUNGER version of me Is she perverted like me Would she go down on you in a theatre Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, till you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you fuck her? 'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, til you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know 'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it...well can you feel it Well, I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know

You've got another thing coming

If you can't go no contact due to kids or divorce, download JUDAS PRIEST-YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING on your mp3 and listen just before seeing him. Very empowering - my favorite line... If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again

Jar Of Hearts

I heard this song shortly after I had left him and it gave me chills... Christina Perri Jar Of Hearts lyrics I know I can't take one more step towards you Cause all that's waiting is regret And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore You lost the love I loved the most I learned to live half alive And now you want me one more time And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Who do you think you are I hear you're asking all around If I am anywhere to be found But I have grown too strong To ever fall back in your arms And I've learned to live half alive And now you want me one more time And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Who do you think you are Dear, it took so long just to feel alright Remember how to put back the light in my eyes I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed Cause you broke all your promises And now you're back You don't get to get me back And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Don't come back at all And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul Don't come back for me Don't come back at all Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v_4O44sfjM

Old school Janet- CONTROL

Janet Jackson's Control always picks me up! She was a bad-ass in this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH8xbDGv7oY This is a story about control, my control Control of what I say, control of what I do And this time I'm gonna do it my way I hope you enjoy this as much as I do Are we ready? I am? Cause it's all about control And I've got lots of it When I was 17, I did what people told me Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me But that was long ago I'm in control, never gonna stop Control, to get what I want Control, I got to have a lot Control, now I'm all grown up First time I fell in love I didn't know what hit me So young and so naive I thought it would be easy But now I know I've got to take... That's right, I'm on my own, I'll call my own shots, thank you Got my own mind I wanna make my own decisions When it has to do with my life, my life I wanna be the one in control So let me take you by the hand And lead you on this dance Cause what I've got is because I took a chance I don't wanna rule the world Just wanna run my life So make your life a little easier When you get the chance just take.. Free at last, out here on my own Now control this That's right, career moves I do what's right for me And me wants to groove Is that ok? Hop to it I'm in control (and I love it, that's right) Control, now I've got a lot Control, now I'm all grown up I'm in control, I'm in control Don't make me lose it

I love this thread!

Music is food for my soul. I find it so healing. I LOVE all the songs you have posted, especially Jar of Hearts. It's my latest fave. I LOVE the video. Here's one of my all-time faves that I recorded on my cover album: Not the Doctor Alanis Morissette I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey Hidden in the bottom drawer I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine Lend me some fresh air I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you I don't want to be your babysitter You're a very big boy now I don't want to be your mother I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months Show me the back door I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2 I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face at midnight Hey what are you hungry for I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together I don't want to be your idol See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights I don't want to be lived through A vicarious occasion Please open the window I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart and its wounded beat I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling Well, What do you thank me, What do you thank me for Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

Eminem- Cleanin' out my Closet

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times Sick as the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind All this commotion, emotions run deep as ocean's explodin' Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin' Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin' Keep kickin' ass in the mornin' and takin' names in the evenin' Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth See, they can trigger me but they'll never figure me out Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now, ain't you momma? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet, one more time I said, I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet Ha, I got some skeletons in my closet And I don't know if no one knows it So before they thrown me inside my coffin and close it I'ma expose it, I'll take you back to '73 Before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' C.D. I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months My faggot father must have had his panties up in a bunch 'Coz he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye No, I don't on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die I look at Hailie and I couldn't picture leavin' her side Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake I maybe made some mistakes but I'm only human But I'm man enough to face them today What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun 'Cuz I'da killed him, shit I woulda shot Kim and them both It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to 'The Eminem Show' I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet, one more time I said, I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet Now I would never diss my own momma just to get recognition Take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissin' But put yourself in my position, just try to envision Witnessin' your momma poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen Bitchin' that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin' Goin' through public housin' systems, victim of Munchausen's syndrome My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 'Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach Doesn't it? Wasn't it the reason you made that C.D. for me Ma? So you could try to justify the way you treated me ma? But guess what? You're gettin older now and it's cold when you're lonely And Nathan's growin' up so quick, he's gonna know that you're phony And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral See, what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong Bitch, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? Well, guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet, one more time I said, I'm sorry momma I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet

Queen- The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces - what are we living for? Abandoned places - I guess we know the score.. On and on! Does anybody know what we are looking for? Another hero - another mindless crime. Behind the curtain, in the pantomime. Hold the line! Does anybody want to take it anymore? The Show must go on! The Show must go on! Yeah! Inside my heart is breaking, My make-up may be flaking, But my smile, still, stays on! Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance. Another heartache - another failed romance. On and on... Does anybody know what we are living for? I guess i'm learning I must be warmer now.. I'll soon be turning, round the corner now. Outside the dawn is breaking, But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free! The Show must go on! The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah! Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking! My make-up may be flaking... But my smile, still, stays on! Yeah! oh oh oh My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends! The Show must go on! Yeah! The Show must go on! I'll face it with a grin! I'm never giving in! On with the show! I'll top the bill! I'll overkill! I have to find the will to carry on! On with the, On with the show! The Show must go on.

But they don't understand me I really don't know the deal about my sister Trying hard to make it right Not long ago Before I won this fight Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative that's my prerogative (it's my prerogative) It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) You can’t tell me what to do Don't get me wrong I'm really not souped Ego trips is not my thing All these strange relationships really gets me down I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live?

Amy Winehouse- Tears Dry On Their Own

All I can ever be to you, Is a darkness that we knew, And this regret I've got accustomed to, Once it was so right, When we were at our high, Waiting for you in the hotel at night, I knew I hadn't met my match, But every moment we could snatch, I don't know why I got so attached, It's my responsibility, And you don't owe nothing to me, But to walk away I have no capacity He walks away, The sun goes down, He takes the day but I'm grown, And in your way, in this blue shade My tears dry on their own, I don't understand, Why do I stress the man, When there's so many bigger things at hand, We could a never had it all, We had to hit a wall, So this is inevitable withdrawal, Even if I stop wanting you, A Perspective pushes true, I'll be some next man's other woman soon, I cannot play myself again, I should just be my own best friend, Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men, So we are history, Your shadow covers me The sky above, A blaze only that lovers see I wish I could say no regrets, And no emotional debts, Cause that kiss goodbye, the sunsets, So we are history, The shadow covers me, The sky above a blaze that only lovers see, He walks away, The sun goes down, He takes the day, but I am grown, And in you way, My deep shade, My tears dry

Duffy- Stepping Stone

I remember way, way back when I said i never wanna see your face again cause you were loving, yes you were someone else and i knew, oh yes i knew i couldn't control myself and now they bring you back into my life again and so i put on face just like your friends but i think you know, oh yes you know whats going on cause the feelings in me, oh yes in me are burning strong. but i will never be your stepping stone, take it all or leave me alone, I will never be your stepping stone, im standing upright on my own. you still call me up from time to time and it would be so hard for me not to cross the line the words of love lye on my lips just like a curse and i knew, oh yes i knew they'd only make it worse and now you have the nerve to play along just like the mistro beats in your song you got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me and the less you give the more i want, so foolishly. but i will never be your stepping stone, take it all or leave me alone, I will never be your stepping stone, Im standing upright on my own x3

Also Remedy by Little Boots.

Also Remedy by Little Boots. The first few words are enough: "I can see you stalking like a predator, I've been here before. Temptation calls like Adam to the apple but I will not be caught. Cos I can read those velvet eyes, and all I see is lies." And the classic line: "Stop stop praying cos I'm not not playing."

It may be pandering to

It may be pandering to stereotypes, but I love a bit of Telephone by Lady Gaga. "You should have made some plans with me, you knew that I was free, but now you won't stop calling me I'm kinda busy... Stop calling, stop calling, I don't want to talk anymore."
