when my first son was born The Dance (Garth Brooks) was what I'd sing along to and start crying (I did not know about CF then)...so that song still has great meaning for both my boys and our family's long history with CF. Frankly, however, we really have more of a Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It" sort of attitude. Every day, with every breath....FIGHT!!!

The song, "WONDER", by Natalie Merchant
(my mom dedicated this to me when i was yonger, and my mom and i danced to this at my wedding..)
Doctors have come from distant citiesJust to see meStand over my bedDisbelieving what they're seeing They say I must be one of the wondersOf God's own creationAnd as far as they can see they can offerNo explanation Newspapers ask intimate questionsWant confessionsThey reach into my headTo steal the glory of my story They say I must be one of the wondersOf God's own creationAnd as far as they can see they can offerNo explanation O, I believeFate smiled and destinyLaughed as she came to my cradleKnow this child will be ableLaughed as my body she liftedKnow this child will be giftedWith love, with patience and with faithShe'll make her way People see meI'm a challenge to your balanceI'm over your headsHow I confound you and astound youTo know I must be one of the wondersOf God's own creationAnd as far as you can see you can offer meNo explanation O, I believeFate smiled and destinyLaughed as she came to my cradleKnow this child will be ableLaughed as she came to my motherKnow this child will not sufferLaughed as my body she liftedKnow this child will be giftedWith love, with patience and with faithShe'll make her way <!-- end of lyrics -->

Hello Gregory, it has been fun reading the responses. I share Ellie's favourite, 'The Climb', sung by Miley Cyrus. {She wrote this song after losing a good friend to CF}. The lyrics are truly inspirational, ......"I won't let anything or anyone get in my way, or bring me down. I will keep fighting and never slow down'.

Cheers
Eileen

This little gem of an 80ssong was given a rebirth by the recent movie Bridesmaids, its "Hold on" by wilson philips

Really feel good tune and the lyrics ring true "don't ya know things could change? they could go your way, if you hold on for one more day"

That's a great song for a Cfer... as long as he is gay.

Where the %#$ did that comment come from? School kids make gay jokes, let's be adults shall we?

Come on!! there is no offense intended on that comment, it is just that "I will survive" is considered a gay anthem.
It is like somebody proposes "dany boy" for a CFer funeral, I would say that is a great song as long as he is irish.

But in case anybody felt hurt by my comment I apologize. I dont think there is anything wrong about being gay (or irish).

WOW what a great post...brought tears to my eyes as I recalled how many of these songs have meant a lot to my husband and I...


LOVE, love, thumbs UP, and listen to LOTS:
Down with the Sickness, Just Breathe by Pearl Jam, Wonder by Natalie Merchant, Afternoons and Coffeespoons :) by Crash Test Dummies, Carry on my Wayward Son (Kansas), Superman by Five for Fighting.


And we also like:
Death Cab for Cutie's "What Sarah Said" and "Follow you into the Dark" (sad songs though)
And "The Scientist" by ColdPlay.

Lots of great songs....thanks everyone!

Not only do I use this particular song in common day life but also with my CF. The song is entitled, Lucky Man, written by Montgomery Gentry from Kentucky. It shows me that I just gotta shove all the bad stuff aside and try to make things better. Just sort of let the bad roll off my back. Here are the lyrics.

I have days where I hate my job
This little town and the whole world too
Last Sunday when the Bengals lost
Lord it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a mama who I swears a saint
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
a few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good
My ticker's tickin' like they say it should
I got supper in the ove, good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

My old trucks still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And even my bad days ain't that bad
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky lucky man

here is the song,
