    Mine's not on the list and some on the list are LAME as far as empowering songs, sorry Pap.  For me, Unthought Known.  How it didn't make the list befuddles me if you are talking about truly empowering songs.  Please tell me Pap that you did not come up with this list.

    I came up with this list. I had originally included Unthought Known, but because no more than 10 options are allowed, I decided to scrap it. But all good! You've mentioned it, maybe others will follow.

    Given To Fly
    I voted for Given To Fly (I think) from this list, but as I thought about it more, I think Inside Job might have been my better choice. I also like Present Tense, as Gibson posted above.

    So many songs, but Rearviewmirror is the one that always surprises me that it STILL makes me thrash around and cry and feel a release. Maybe more than any other single PJ song, although there are abundant songs that move me of course! Cuz that's what PJ does!

    I like Alive.  Not for the creepy original meaning, but in 2021, literally being still alive is meaningful enough.

    First, foremost and always: Rearviewmirror. To each their own, but how this song is not on the list is a real head-scratcher for me.

    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    RVM, together with Unthought Known, was part of the original list, but they both didn't make it to the poll because of options limitations.

    Breath. Every time I get overwhelmed or things aren't going right, I think "there's much more than this!"
