10. John Mayer: Waiting on the world to change
Music man with his fingers on the pulse of change, reflecting on our times.
9. Eminem: Lose Yourself
This songs pops up like my guardian angel, quite unexpectedly in the darkest of the hours.
8. Sabrina Setlur and Xavier Naidoo: Alles
I do not know German, but I used a translator because this song was so soothingly like-able, esp. Xavier Naidoo's part.
7. Metallica: Nothing Else Matters
Life is ours, we live it our way... All these words, I don't just say... And nothing else matters
6. Blake Shelton: Some Beach Somewhere
A simple American pleasure, go to Hawaii or the Caribbean when you need sunny skies.
5. Tom Petty: The Last DJ
Get-back-at-the-system-that-got-you-down song.
4. Tim McGraw: Live Like You Were Dying
Carpe Diem. 'nuff said.
3. UB40: Higher Ground
Reggae effortlessly lifts you to a higher ground. There were poems in the rain, MTV and the abstract blue album cover of Promises and Lies as the backdrop of my teenage trials.
2. Vangelis: Chariots of Fire
Only instrumental in the whole list. Even without words it soars the spirit. Wonderful movie too.
1. Baz Luhrmann/Mary Schmich : Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
The ultimate advice column ever, in a good away. Mary Schmich, I like you better than your mistaken identity of Kurt Vonnegut.
