I used to love making mix tapes when I was young on actual cassette tapes of my favourite songs, I used to race to the radio to hit record whenever I heard my favourite song come on and it didn't matter if I missed the intro or beginning as long as I got most of the song. Here is a list of songs that I have grown up with old and new, that have either touched my heart, made me cry, sing loud at the top of my lungs, danced with joy, or simply inspired me and made me reflect. I have attached links to most songs on YouTube underneath the title of the song. I have also put in brackets next to the title what the actual theme of the song is, and my interpretation of what the song has meant to me. Enjoy!

Re: Thalia's Mixtape
Hi Thalia ~ Welcome to the Hub Community and thank you for sharing all this music! I've just been opened to feeling a wealth of emotion with the help of God, and Celine Dion , Beginning with Loved Me Back To Life, from your list. I wound up clicking on the 50+ playlist of her music and was readily moved, from one theme to another, into one emotion, then another, with the aide of her soulful, resonant voice & all the lyrics. This one in particular I thought you might like as well, given your love of music & song writing: https://youtu.be/BWfB5EwnfXU
A couple of the songs that I've heard so far in this playlist are lullabies, which I find especially moving. I also noticed it was easy to stay with the feelings that were coming up by listening to her music alone, hearing only her voice, one song after the other. I recommend it!
Thanks again,
Julie

Re: Thalia's Mixtape
hey julie! Great to meet up with you on the hub! Thanks for the song recommendation, I had a listen and of course its another great from Celine Dion, she is amazing! Very beautiful and clever lyric writing in that one. I find listening to music in general such a powerful way to connect and open up emotionally. Take care sister.
