This one might be a little heavy, but I think it still fits

Spoiler: Citizen Soldier: Reason To Live

Citizen Soldier is well known for having songs that deal with various aspects of mental health.

A nice reminder that "sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug" ... and that when love hits, you may have to just roll with it.

Still on hold… sorry, everyone Wanted to submit a suggestion for discussion before I forget:

 

[Atane Valthon]

Our wonderful @Polegnyn Nemeara asked me to share this song for consideration.

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

Thank you, @Atane Valthon ! This is why it is fitting, imo:

"Where charity and love are, God is there.
...
And from a sincere heart let us love each other..."

From https://yonamariemusic.com/yona/blog/282/the-history-and-meaning-behind-ubi-caritas:
"It focuses on the virtue of charity and the selfless love that Christians are called to embody."

But it's also very Christian-centric so I hoped everyone would discuss.

Suggestions of "Servant of All" focused songs from other worldviews are also welcome

I'm wondering if a Self Affirmation song would fit on this playlist. what do you think @Polegnyn Nemeara ?

The first post and the current songs on the playlist need to be reviewed for clarity, but the intent of the playlist was to motivate oneself in service toward others (Servant of All). If the song is about serving others, perfect. Songs with the message of “I’m better than X” or “I rock my own socks” regardless of how innocuously self-motivational they are aren’t really the intended spirit.

First post has been updated, hopefully clarifying the purpose of the SoA Playlist. Review it and see if that helps better define which songs might be (because we can always discuss those songs in that "gray area") suited for this list.

Next step is to rethink the current playlist based on this clarified definition. Expect slight changes to it as well as some new additions by December

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

New titles added! What are your thoughts on them?

Eta: and your thoughts on this song?

 

[Alexr al'Petros]

Here's a possibility...it's from a fun Tropico-pop band Jarabe de Palo from Spain. I'm posting the first video that has lyrics (but no translation). Basically, the song acknowledges that many things can go wrong; but you can still have a positive perspective on life and it encourages the listener to find the good things in life. And reflects that as you find beauty; more beauty is found.

Here's the original video (which I enjoy much more) that shares the group's joyful enthusiasm ...

Thank you! Your suggestions have been to the list of possibilities, @Alexr al'Petros

2024 arrives with new titles to the playlist! What are everyone's thoughts on them in addition to other titles that have been suggested in this thread?
