I need a inspirational Jimmy song and I can't decide - help
Hi,
Our college aged daughter has been going through a hard time and soon she's going to pass a pretty big milestone. She should have been returning to college this fall and instead is dealing with chemo and radiation. It's been totally unexpected and pretty awful. Her tumor is curable but the treatment is intense and long. She's a big Jimmy fan, we all are.
To mark the end of radiation next Friday we're making her a video with lots of important people in her life celebrating for her. The video needs music and Jimmy is the logical choice. I can't decide on a song or song. She likes so many and I think there are parts of several that could be perfect.
I'm asking for suggestions because I don't want to overlook something and miss a great song choice. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

I really can't think of anything that fits the bill to a T but if it's a slide show type thing
I would go with "Banana Winds" that way no words get in the way.
I'll add her to my prayers tonight.

Love and Luck
Better days are in the cards I feel
I feel it in the changing winds
I feel it when I fly
So talk to me
Listen to this story
I've been around enough to know
That there's more than meets the eye
Re: I need a inspirational Jimmy song and I can't decide - help
Oysters and Pearls sounds like a perfect suggestion. I also like the Banana Wind instrumental. She will KNOW the "words" that go with the photos.
Defying Gravity always makes me think of surviving every curve thrown our way.

Re: I need a inspirational Jimmy song and I can't decide - help
La Vie Dansante - It means "The Dancing Life" and it's not too hard, not too soft, but very meaningful.
They can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting off of the clocks
There's a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
They can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting off of the clocks
There's a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante

The lyrics to "Someday I Will" would seem to offer a light at the end of the tunnel approach.

CILCIA and Survive come to mind.....
Re: I need a inspirational Jimmy song and I can't decide - help
I knew there would be good ones that I just couldn't think of. I'm going to listen to all of them and read the lyrics.
Great suggestions

Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way

Re: I need a inspirational Jimmy song and I can't decide - help
Fin power coming your daughters way. It's not a Buffett tune but Garth Brooks The River always comes to my mind. A great song with compelling lyrics. It goes great backing up a memory filled slide show
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ...
