Songs that spark

This is by no means a list of music you MUST love right NOW.  This is simply an incomplete list of my favorite music that either the lyrics or the video itself sparks my imagination, my sense of wonder, or that I feel has particularly good lyrics.  I am so deeply affected by what I listen to, the mood of the music, the lyrics, everything.  A lot of these songs I listen to when I need inspiration, or when I need to lift my mood, or when I need a confidence boost.  Music is everything to me.
