Sing it!
I didn't grow up singing in a school choir, but as an adult I've wanted to join one for awhile now. I'm not a church-goer, so that's out. It's a pandemic, so there's that. I recently got a gold bluetooth "karaoke" microphone, and the joy it's given me is crazy. I play the tunes, pull up the lyrics, turn on my mike, and lose an hour just singing along with the original singer. It nurtures me. It takes me into the flow and out of my head. Singing has proven to be very therapeutic these days.
Songs I love to sing along with include:
Here You Come Again, Dolly Parton
Magic, Suddenly (from Xanadu) Olivia Newton John
Stay (I missed you) Lisa Loeb
Sour Flower, Lost and Found Lianne La Havas
Ten Cent Wings Jonatha Brooke
Morning Train, Sheena Easton
Try, Colbie Caillat
So Much Mine, The Story
Don't Know Why, Norah Jones
Gravity, Sara Bareilles
Any Amy Grant songs from the 80's
Ocean Eyes, Alicia Keys cover
Muskrat Love, Captain and Tennille
Power of Two, Indigo Girls
Like the Weather, 10,000 Maniacs
Get Me, Everything But the Girl
I Say a Little Prayer, Aretha Franklin
