In light of a post I made in my blog right before deciding to create this thread, I wanted to make a place where music specifically with a positive message could be posted. I know that even the term 'positive message' fluxes from person to person.
For me, a song with a positive message is one without vulgar language that is a message about some universal concept like love or trust or getting through a hard time. I have a tendency to like sort of slower beat, sometimes 'pop' music, and I absolutely love songs that are 'pop' but also have strings like the violin in them. I just love that.
So I'm going to post three to get this started.
I'm just asking that the songs posted here be respectful, not too much crude language if you can avoid it; I really would prefer to avoid songs about people shaking their booty, sex appeal as the most important thing in the world, and of course...song about someone letting the dog out.

The reason why?: To me, this song is beautiful just in composition- how it sounds, especially because of the strings, but too, the message. It's a song about love that's failing and just the feelings of that, it's very expressive, wonderful in the words he puts it and I can 'feel' the emotions coming through. I say it's a positive message because, what it's saying to me, is that we all have these 'loves' we can let go of...in the end, the character of the song does let it go, and there is resolution. It is a feeling many of us can relate to.

The reason why?: This is a song about new beginnings, love, the concept that people can't expect just to be alone and that it's important to work together and accept togetherness as an important way of life. Most of all: it's communicating me, that love, the expression of love, is something that takes strength and faith in order to just 'give yourself' to someone else...it's ride that you 'flow' with each other and there will be good and bad but it's the fact you took the risk with someone that's important. I used to think love and not wanting to be alone was for people who were weak, but to me this song just sort of communicates...it takes a STRONG person who isn't afraid to allow their mind, body, and soul to 'go' and 'show' in togetherness with other people.

The reason why?: I'm not sure exactly what this song is about but it's beautiful...I love the music, I love the lyrics and the premise....every word I love...This is the ideal love song, "If I knew where all those tears were coming from, I'd guide them to a river where I'd swim with you downstream..."
