Sam Cooke- A change is gonna come
It's soul, I suppose...but the lyrics are very uplifting!

I adore that song, "who I am"

Another good one is God is a DJ by Pink

Never Too Late-Three Days Grace (rock)
Over You-Daughtry(rock)
Those are both pretty empowering songs to me. Not completely sure why though.

Yes, "God Is A DJ".

I don't know how many times I've blasted that baby and danced about in my bedroom.

Uhh, "Rose" by A Perfect Circle always seems to work for me, as well as: "Strange Little Girl" (the Tori Amos version) and Cyndi Lauper's "True Colours". Ooh, "Sally's Pidgeons" (also by Cyndi Lauper) might be a good one. "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance gives me a bit of a chuckle...

"Stand Back Up" by the Dixie Chicks is a country song. Sorry 'bout that.

How about "The Wood Song" by the Indigo Girls? Not sure where they'd go. They're filed under rock/pop in the music store.....

Axwell & Ingrosso - It's True

^^Both house, but you can stuff them in dance if you want.

Booty Luv - Shine
Dance, BIG time.

One - U2 feat. Mary J Blige
Great song, and very uplifting

I'd put it in either Rock, R&B or Soul. I'm not about music categories...

But Mary is just the best in this, she has an amazing voice, and I usually hate R&B.

Mirror by Barlow Girl

This song is all about not letting the world define who you are. It's a Christian song - and has been special to me in getting control of my life.
