Hey everybody. I was just thinking about this today. Am i the only one who plays a song over and over when they're going through something? Like right now i'm experiencing more freedom than ever before and i'm working toward coming out so my two current anthems are Closer by Goapele and Defying Gravity from Wicked. So what are your anthems right now that are helping you with whatever is going on in your life? and if you don't have an anthem what about a mantra?

Everything's just wonderful
One Step At A Time
By Jordin Sparks, that song has been on replay for a while now, I'm just done over listening to Diam's (she's French) and now I need a motivation song and miss Sparks's got what I need right now!

Steer by Missy Higgins
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer
'Cos you've been listening for answers
But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer
Year get out of the box and step into the clear
'Cos now you finally know you can steer
Mantra
Well this is a long standing mantra of mine and it is because I am a breast cancer survivor. It helps people remember to do their breast self exams
If you can't feel yourself then find someone to feel ya for ya!
Hey I figure turn those regular checks into something fun.
My anthem at the moment is
My anthem at the moment is Amy mcdonald- This is the life. Can't really say why, it just keeps me motivated =)
If i was the grim reaper everyone would die in freak accidents.
Keep on Livin'
Keep on Livin' by Le Tigre.
I guess its sort of a coming out classic...
But it helped me remember that everything is going to be okay.

American Baby - Dave Matthews Band
I heard it in my friend's car a few days ago and I used to not like the band because I heard one song and didnt' like it (I usually don't give bands a second chance lol) but this girl I like was there (it was her CD) with us and she said she loved this song and I asked what it was and she said it was by DMB and I was like "wow....really?" but now I'm obsessed with the song and it makes me think of her, It's a beautiful song too. I can't get it out of my head and I'm listening to it right now in fact.
It's not exactly an anthem (and I have no idea what a mantra means) because it has nothing to do with me, but it has everything to do with her because it makes me think of her, and my mind is constantly on her so I guess it does have a lot to do with me (confusing?)
This part really gets me
"Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile"
My mantra........!
confused and needing advice!!
To the original poster of this, mine is Defying Gravity from Wicked too! It means alot to me and my friend and we are having a wee rough patch! It always reminds me that we ll get through this phase.
My other is Joni Mitchell's 'River'.
haha
a classic
