Quarantine Songs - Songs to inspire and comfort

Music has always been inspirational for me.  It has inspired me to dance, to laugh, to love, to run (usually I only run when chased so that is a great feat), to feel comfort, to remember events and people from the past and so much more.  So the other day while I was working from home in a an office that used to be and partially still is my storeroom, a song came on that gave me hope, gave me strength, and inspired me to realize that we would not just survive this, but we would thrive.  In her song "Rise" Katy Perry talks about how she will rise, that she will fight, that there is victory in her veins.  You can listen to her song by clicking on the link below.

Later that same day, I heard the song "See you Again" by Wiz Khalifa (with Charlie Puth) and it brought to mind all the family and friends that I haven't been able to see face to face.  "How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?" So true,  this pandemic has shown us what is truly important, what matters above all else.  This song gave me hope that there will come a time when all my family and friends will be "standing there by my side" again.  I look forward to that time.  Please click on the link below to listen to "See You Again"
