Music Therapy

Seems to me we need to come up with some uplifting songs as therapy. Some of you have found great ones for your profile pages, but there isn't one place to collect them all. I wonder if we can list some of the songs that saved us, gave us hope, reassured us, etc. and see if rj and Cheryl can come up with a way to click on them as we do with photos and videos. If not, we can always Google the You-Tube videos or recordings.

I'll start with six:

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying (Gerry and the Pacemakers)
(Hey, my AA showed up even before this song was on the radios in the USA!)

Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkel, Clay Aiken)

Don't Rain on My Parade (Barbra Streisand, Lea Michelle from Glee)

A Whole New World (from Aladdin)

Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel. Love the sax as well as the words!)

Foo Foo (Santana. Makes me want to dance! Click on Shaman album cover or Athens concert in 2009 for best sound.)

Your turn. What did you listen to THAT HELPED when alopecia first showed up or was at its strongest?
Leave out the sad stuff...I am thinking of fun, hopeful or loving songs. Reassuring songs.

I checked out 311. Hey You!

These are all great suggestions!

This isn't a song, but after I saw the movie "Amelie", I bought the soundtrack because I loved it. That movie just made me feel "up" and happy, and for awhile after I saw it, and even now, if I play the soundtrack, I feel happy.

Another song I heard about the first time I had alopecia was "You'll Never Walk Alone," from the musical Carousel.

I love that fighting spirit in her SO WHAT (I'm a Rock Star)!

I'm inspired.

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein - sing to the tune of "You'll Never Walk Alone":

When you walk outside bald
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the stares
You are proud, you are bold
Look them straight in the eye
You’re still you, you’re still strong - so who cares?

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though you’ve no hair to be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And with Alopecia World
You’ll never walk alone.

(If you don't know the melody, it's online)

Click on "I Have Confidence" from Sound of Music (Julie Andrews singing). It helps when you are unsure!

Ah, yes..."Stand By Me," Ben E. King version. Fits!

How about the Flashdance Soundtrack "What a Feeling!"
