Gaian Soundtrack
I’m putting together a collection of Gaian music, and I need everyone’s help. What do I mean by Gaian? Well, anything that is positive or uplifting with an emphasis on taking care of the world or your fellow humans. I’m trying very hard to avoid cheesy music because I want it to be genuinely uplifting without grating on my nerves.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
- “Within You Without You” by the Beatles
- “The Warmth” by Incubus
- “Make You Feel That Way” by Blackalicious
- “Float On” by Modest Mouse
- “A Dream” by Common
- “Bowl of Oranges” by Bright Eyes
- “The Heart of Life” by John Mayer
- “I Know I’m Not Alone” by Michael Franti & Spearhead
- “Meant to Live” by Switchfoot
- “Hold Me Now” by Polyphonic Spree
- “I Can Walk on Water” by Basshunter
- “One” by U2
- “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley
- “I Believe” by Joe Satriani
- “Rooftops” by Lostprophets
- “If Everyone Cared” by Nickelback
- “Earth Heals Herself” by Buckethead
You may see this list and think it has some glaring omissions. There are only a few hip-hop songs, there are zero country songs, and most of them are rock(ish) tunes from the past ten years. Please help me fix that. I don’t want to focus on one particular genre. There is so much good music out there and I know I’m either ignorant of it or it’s just slipping my mind.
