I used to listen to the same empowering album on a repeated loop to amp me up before I had to do something that was outside of my comfort zone – like meeting someone for a blind date, going into an audition, job interview, first day of a new job, etc. For some reason, listening to that album made me believe in myself and never fails to remind me that I am a strong, independent woman who can do anything.".

Sometimes a song or set of songs just sounds like it was specifically written for you, in that very moment you needed it. I experienced this when going through a breakup. There were two songs from the same artist that almost mimicked my emotions of being so low and down and then coming out of.
My dad loved the soundtrack from one particular musical. He had me write one of the songs into my bar mitzvah speech, and I can remember him singing the soundtrack when I was growing up. When he passed away.
The notion of having 'our song' is VERY cheesy, but so true for me and my wife. It was a Saturday night, and she was wearing one of my jumpers with leggings (as it was so early on in our relationship that we had accidentally spent the whole weekend together for the first time, and she had not brought a spare change of clothes), and we were dancing to it.
