What Music Uplifts You?


As you may know, I suffer from depression. I like music, and that it can be very uplifting. It can be a type of therapy. I listen to the radio, but don't have many CD's. I am looking for some uplifting music. Do you have any ideas? I especially like soft rock, and oldies, sometimes Christian music. It's hard to find something with uplifting lyrics. What do you listen to that brings you out of a bad mood? (What album, or artist, etc.)

Added later - I'm looking for a CD.

My Mother's Piano Playing

My mother was a piano teacher, and had her studio in our house when I was a kid. She had aspirations of being a concert pianist when she was young, but was in a car accident that affected her back, so she never realized her dream. I never appreciated the rich musical up-bring that I had. Nor did I realize how good my mother was until I recognized that she played remarkably like a concert pianist. Here is one of my father's and my favorites that my mother use to play. I love listening to it. It sounds just like my mother playing, and transports me back in time. For the record, I never learned how to play much more then chopsticks. I wish she had made me.
