Music, Videos, Poetry that Gets Us Through

Oh this is so beautiful!  ❤️

Thank you, Jeanne, for starting this!

Nina Simone always helps me get through:     https://youtu.be/likF-DBSOr8       In the morning when the moon is at it's rest,
You will see me at the time I love the best
Watching rainbows play on sunlight;
Pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life.

In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
Building castles in the shifting sands
In a world that no one understands,
In the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life,

In the morning of my life the
Minutes take so long to drift away
Please be patient with your life
It's only morning and you're still to live your day

In the ev'ning I will fly you to the moon
To the top right hand corner of
The ceiling in my room
Where w'll stay until the sun shines
Another day to swing on clothe's lines
May I be yawning
It is the morning of my life
It is the morning of my life
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning

Loved Nina's song. 

I've watched this one about 30 times: Urban Dance Camp doing an amazing choreograph that will lift you sky high --  to You'll Never Be Happy Until You Try :   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_bX0T76X8U

You've probably all seen this before. But if you haven't, it's  Sara Bareilles' Brave with great video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUQsqBqxoR4

Sometimes i just need some hippie love to get me thru.  Here are some big ol Greek hippies: Aphrodite's Child, singing "Loud, loud, loud,loud" .   So turn it up!  https://youtu.be/uAhbVzwzZ6U

Songs to get us thru... climate change?        maybe not, but this one helped me get thru hurricane Harvey a little better.  It's like when you call 911, and you get a busy signal.   it made me laugh and cry a little, but this one got a good beat and you can really dance to it        https://youtu.be/evwkrcL8P6g

when the crappy patriarchal timeline gets you down- just remember- the Women's March was the biggest demonstration in the history of the world!               https://youtu.be/IS5dtZDiz44               this is for you!

Jeanne,

You've gotten me addicted to this Urban Dance Camp You'll Never Be Happy video -- love it!  I also found two others by them that I like:
Bills--Lunch Money:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh9PzR6tqXE

and The Dog Days Are Over:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyQ1lV1OvGw

Watching these videos uplift me, especially during these challenging times, when I'm feeling depleted.

Thanks for sharing.  

I've expanded this thread to include uplifting videos and poetry, as well as music that gets us through.  Today a friend sent me this video of a healing horse.  There are also videos out there of cats and dogs that have this same empathic ability to pick and go to the bed side of people who are dying or very ill.  

Peyo the healing horse

Thanks Jeanne, that horse is amazing.

I am really grateful to him and to the doctors who accept Peyo in the hospital.

He's part of a better world.
