What Are Some Songs College Freshman Should Hear?
« on: June 12, 2010, 12:49:42 AM »
I'm making a CD for my youngest sister for a graduation gift.  I made a CD for my younger sister where her friends wrote dedications to her and sent a song idea.  I made a CD booklet out of it and my sister loved it.  I was aiming to do something different this time around.  I wanted to get a bunch of songs and use them in a story about her.  I was thinking about either doing a "once upon a time" type story or something similar to a news article complete with her graduation picture.  The songs would be on the CD in the order they appear in the story.  However, I'm having issues finding songs and her friends don't really know what to tell me.  One friend bought up "Encourage Yourself" which is actually pretty good for this.

The songs I'm looking for are songs that will encourage her to remain confident, be the person God called her to be, and songs that will help pick her up when she's having a bad day.  I want the CD to be something she can enjoy now and something she'll want to listen to and will minister to her later.  Also, I'm not only aiming for gospel songs either.  Songs like "The Light" by Queen Lafiah, "Sing A Song" - EWF, etc that are positive (and give advice) are good too.

Can you help me find songs for this CD?

"Daddy's Got You" by Sunny Hawkins is a good encouragement song.

"Dont You Worry 'Bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder

"History" by Michael Jackson is a good one too, as is "Will You Be There".

Thanks TJ!

@ Everyone:

I'm debating about putting "The Light" on the CD because while it may give some decent advice, I also want to put on a song about staying sexually pure (which I'm debating cause I can't find a song that doesn't sound like a paranoid parent saying, "I know you're gonna do it the first chance you get."  I just know that for some people it's difficult to stay sexually pure in college.  I've also noticed songs can set and break moods.  She's a good kid and has a good head on her shoulders, but still that doesn't negate the fact that...I'm going to stop ranting now.)

Anyway, I wanted to know if you think that 2:35 - 2:40 kinda goes against the whole "stay sexually pure" thing.  I think that it doesn't have to be taken that way, though it can be.  What do you think?  *WARNING*  If you're not going to just jump to that part of the song I just want to let you know the S-word is bleeped out in the beginning and close to the part that I mentioned the A-word is used.  :-\

even though people always erroneously get into doctrinal debates over this one, the message is practical "Stay Saved"
