Lets see, there was a thread here called "music to kill yourself too..." This is the same, just vice versa. Post about music that keeps you alive, makes you feel alive ... and so on.

This song (literally) kept me alive recently:

Suburban Me

The self-inflicted state of mind
A one-man struggle beneath the tower
I think the clock still exist
god just forgot to tap my shoulder

I woke up today
I wish I felt something
The odour of my apathy
just might be true

I wan't to be the things I see
The pilgrim that is me
But I know I ain't that free
The suburban me

Spirits rise and miss the eye
Covered by the stench of judgment
As gods reflection tests my pride
I serve the failure that's haunting me

Twisted visions toturing
Who claims to be the one?
That filtered smile
just might be true

"On half-speed, tonight I suffer
Satisfaction brings the unheeded"

Can you hear the message,
as I wrestle with the clouds?
I'm on the way to succumb,
It just might be true

(In Flames - Suburban me)

It´s not really positive and happy, but it showed me some mistakes I have made.

Ah, In Flames. Gotta love them. I'd have to say 'Free Fall' and 'Cloud Connected' make me feel good about myself.

"Mirror mirror,
How far will I go?
Despite the foundation,
I am falling.
Sweet reflection,
Will you save a place for me?
Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what I am punished,
Could I ever repent?

Mother Nature, I?m wide open,
Waiting for you to move me.

Don?t keep it from me!
This is a free fall!
This is a free fall!

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It?s like I?m living a lie.

Father time, every time I stop and feel,
You?re there to tell me I?m already late.
Don?t keep it from me!
This is a free fall!
I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
It?s like I?m living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It?s like I?m living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It?s like I?m living a lie."

In Flames - Free Fall.

Makes me wish I was someone else or inspires me to do something different.

Also, Static - X and Ministry make life worth living

Yeah, Free Fall is also one of my favorites.
I also like Dawn of a new day.

Dawn Of A New Day

[Verse:]

The thoughts of yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win

[Chorus:]

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

[Verse:]

Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

(In Flames - Dawn of a new Day)

Don´t need to explain why I post it here, do I?

Can't say I've heard that one, give me five minutes and I will have done *whistles*

classical music

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He is brave and gentle and wise!

Stronger Than all the rest,
this mighty robot will pass the test,
Oh villans fear him, so we cheer him,
The amazing AstroBoy!

When you need someone strong,
Our robot friend will never be long.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He will try to right any wrong!

When there's danger near by,
No matter who, what, where, when or why.
He'll defend us, he'll defend us,
The amazing AstroBoy!
- Astro boy opening credits theme song

Come and join us in a melody,
A song of happiness for you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a boy,
Little hero, AstroBoy!

Come and join us in a fantasy,
We can all be heros, you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a boy,
Little hero, AstroBoy!

Lighting up the way for all,
For soon he will fight for right,
Strong as steel and with a heart of gold.

Sing of glory,
Pour your heart our,
Your voices will be heard,
And it's raining out with love for all.
- Astro boy closing credits theme song
