ok peeps:

so i know it's a ways away - well actually months FLY by so it's not that far after all - but i'm preparing a list of soothing songs to play during labor.

music has forever been soul calming for me, and when i'm experiencing the most intense pain of my entire life, also known as childbirth, i need soothing music to help keep me focused and sane.

i'm building a list steadily and have some great songs but i know there are a million and five songs out there that i've never even heard of. and seeing as how you all are such eclectic, diverse individuals with your own wonderfully unique tastes in music, i am hereby enlisting you all to think of nice, relaxing songs that you think might be nice to listen to when in gut-wrenching, excruciating pain.

song with lyrics OR instrumental songs are perfectly fine - i'd like a little of both. any genre, any style as long as it's not demonic or vulgar, which of course should go without saying. and i don't want anything that's gonna be having me chanting to buddha or calling on some unknown spirits or ancestors LOL. and no hard rock tunes, please. while i DO enjoy quite a few hard rock/alternative songs, a loud, screaming electric guitar is not what i'm gonna wanna hear when i'm doubled over in pain preparing to push a human out of my body. my list is going to be heavily praise and worship centered (I'm gonna be calling on Jesus every second i can during labor) but i'll also add some secular songs.

so basically let's stick to mellow tunes. whenever a song pops into your minds or if you hear a song one day and think it to be particularly laid-back and calm-inducing, feel free to lay it on me. this can certainly be an ongoing things, not all in one day!

thanks in advance!
