What musical piece be it song or instrumental piece gives you comfort?

61 Replies

Following up on a song share from Veteran 250 inspired me to ask this ^^^^^ question.

I'll lead off with "Mojave" By Afro Celt Sound System. It "makes" me visualize the morning sun rising over the Mojave Desert in California. .You have to see it to believe it.. Especially the winter sunrise. That piece can bring me back from the brink of almost any depressive disaster. It also brings me to tears of comfort and joy every time I listen to it... YouTube Music.. I hope the link works.. Technology isn't my strong suite.

Now then what's yours.. there's no limit to what your song(s) are/is.bing.com/videos/search?q=af....

"Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks

Oh right ! I haven't heard that song in years! Thanks! That and "Celluloid Hero "

Oh, I love "Celluloid Heroes" also, but not so much as a comfort song. Another great song from Everybody's in Show-Biz is "Sitting in My Hotel." Grand tune.

Why worry by Dire Straits

in reply toRoxylox

Hi, it's a slow one sand sort of expresses my main problems, nice guitar sounds too.

Dire straights “on every street!”

I take it you're ding a play on words here, if so, I like it. Great way to express how some of us feel when we're out in public maybe.Never looked at the name of the band 'Dire Straits' from that point of view before. The lead, Mark Knoffler is just brilliant on guitar, l think more solo now. I'm not cleued in in any way to musical instruments, just love a good classy guitar riff when I hear one...

Anyhow, how are you today?

in reply toRoxylox

On every street is a dire straits song!!

Makes me get goosebumps.

I’m a half ass drummer, my buddies are awesome on guitar. Music is everything to my mental health

Sorry for picking you up wrong! Playing the drums must be a great outlet for you. I like to sing aloud sometimes, like you on drums I'm a half-assed singer.

Okay, I really like Fragile by Sting. youtu.be/lB6a-iD6ZOY

This one's really good and could maybe describe how a lot of us on here might often feel too.

Are you referring to all the violence? Am not long awake - 7am here. You could be sleeping as I reply. Things seem to be topsy-turvy since last year alright.

in reply toRoxylox

Just life in general now I guess. How did the world become this war zone of a place???? Peace needs to be restored!!!

I know, and it often stems from Little. Life is somehow tough with Covid lockdown easing too. I, for one had gotten used to my little bubble.

Good one, L. Since I’m really just a kid at heart and it’s getting worse, I guess that’s why “High Hopes” by Frank Sinatra popped up in my head. 😉 I don’t want to hear any laughing out there , guys! 😁❤️🏄‍♀️

My mom loves that one!!!!!

Piano Concerto no. 2 by Dimitri Shostakovich, a beautiful piece of music which gives me a sense of peace. 🙂🌈

in reply toRachmaninov2

Rachmaninov recommending Shostakovich I'm impressed. 😉I'm going to have to listen to that piece.

Rachmaninov2 in reply to

Haha. My favourite piece of music is Piano Concerto no. 2 by Rachmaninov, followed by the Shostakovich piece. I hope you like it. 🙂

in reply toRachmaninov2

I'm sure I will. 🙂

in reply toRachmaninov2

How about Scott Joplin, The Entertainer??? That's the music they played in that popular movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, The Sting.

Rachmaninov2 in reply to

I love ragtime music, it cheers me up. I like The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag played by Lord Vinheteiro on an old 1915 piano. 🙂

in reply toRachmaninov2

So many people can't really play music these days. We rely too much on machine drum beats and all that. youtu.be/TSoXBkF832I

in reply toRachmaninov2

I love that too, reminds me of me late dad

Thank-you for this post, Lazaruslong. I need comfort today, especially right now. My favorite song is Desperado by The Eagles.

in reply to

Desperado was my " theme song back in my 20' s I tried my best to live it

Love this, my go-to song at certain times

Listening to music can be a quick route to getting yourself into a better mood, but it's becoming increasingly clear that there's much more to the benefits of music than just a quick boost for your outlook. Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche. In fact, there’s a growing field of healthcare known as music therapy, which uses music to heal.

Those who practice music therapy are finding a benefit in using music to help cancer patients and children with ADD, and others. Even hospitals are beginning to use music and music therapy to help with pain management, to help ward off depression, to promote movement, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and for many other benefits that music and music therapy can bring.

This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways.

You'll Never Walk Alone. Theme from Sunflower by Mancini, Prelude to the afternoon of a Faun by Ravel, Bach B minor Prelude. Mary, Did you Know by Clay Akins.

I think this site should play some of the songs and we can have the option to use audio. that would be great to have on here for our moods when they start to dive....??

SO many... although some of Tom Day's instrumental stuff comes to mind.

I know how some people don't like that we're talking about music on here. Well, it's more creative than boring talking sometimes, if you ask me.

And yes, here's one of my favorite bands!!! This is Rebel Beat by The Goo Goo Dolls, I just call them The Goos-, whatever!!!! youtu.be/zUi8gQPsMdw
