Songs That Inspire

Here's where we all post a song that inspires us.
I'll start with this artist I discovered about a year ago named Lhasa De Sela. I got inspired and wrote a song after I saw this video. Such a beautiful song to me and has such a great atmosphere with really interesting production. Plus her voice is so unique and full of feeling, and the video is great too.
Con toda palabra

Great lyrics (poetry)

From Joni Mitchell- 'Jericho'

I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It gets easier and easier to do
Just like Jericho
Let these walls come tumbling down now
Let them fall right on the ground
Let all these dogs go running free
The wild and the gentle dogs
caged in me


and also this line I always loved :}
"Since you've been gone I felt so bad, it's almost like you were still here"
