I would say my first one is The Spirit Carries On.

When my Grandad passed away 2 months ago it helped me to think, where is he gone? is he okay now? etc.

My second song for when I was younger was Finally Free, helped me get over a couple of ex's lol!!

The song worked very well and cheering me up.

Last but not least, Surrounded. The way James sings that sends me shivers down my spine, it's so beautiful.


What about anyone else? What songs make you're day?!

Definitely The Spirit Carries On

Others would be Disappear (this one honestly kills me when I'm sad) and The Answer Lies Within

I know it says three songs....but I would have to go with "Wither." That song does something to me emotionally when things are off in my life

Surrounded is the most uplifting song ever!

Bridges in the Sky too.

And for some reason Count of Tuscany, probably just because it's such a great song.

Surrounded.

Every single time I listen to this song, it just outs a smile on my face! Too bad it's so short.

Beneath the Surface describe my situation with my "sister" who lives half a state away.
Wait for Sleep is always a cool
Through her eyes kinda bums me out but I love the Score version of The Spirit Carries On. Petrucci's solo in the beginning is fantastic.

Stream of Consciousness. That one always picks me up, don't ask why.

Count of Tuscany, Octavarium and A Change of Seasons. These are definite.

I have a lot of other songs that also get to me, but those are some of the tunes that I enjoy the most.
