When you think of 7 Cups, what song do you hear?
Hello, everybirdy!
I was chatting with the ambassador team about music that reminds us of our community, and it got me thinking about how therapeutic music is. Music is powerful stuff capable of universally connecting people worldwide. (Speaking of, we have a Music Therapy project you should check out!)
I'd like to hear from you: what song(s) make you think 7 Cups? The community, the mission, anything that you feel reflects us and who we are!
Let's see how many suggestions we can get! Maybe we can compile them all in a playlist!
(Youtube links are okay! Go go go!)

@talkswithariba
Mine too. It really helped me through some rough times.
You raise me up:
When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
There is no life no life without it's hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes I think i glimpse eternity
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
I Believe - Joana Zimmer
Now everybody
Has a right to be living their life
Oh but we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
If there is freedom
Tell me why everybody wants to fight
Oh 'cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
You might be strong enough
You might be rich enough
You might be blind enough
To push it all aside
No matter what you do
It all keeps coming back to me and you
---
Give a little bit of love
And you get it back
Give a little bit of pain
You're caught in a trap
For every little thing that you say or do
Give a little bit of love
And it will come back to you
You got your reasons
Are you sure there
Reasons to be right
Oh 'cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
Don't let your anger
Or your fear become your suicide
'Cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
You must be strong enough
We must be great enough
We've waited long enough
Now it's time to say goodbye
We got some rules to burn
So many lessons to be learned
---
Now I believe in peace and harmony
You've got to believe in love
Before you can be free
So take a hand
Everybody make a friend
I want you to believe in love
Like I believe
Keep holding on - Avril lavigne
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No, I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
First day of my life - Melanie C
So I found a reason to stay alive
Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life
I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer
They just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back
This could be the first
Day of my life
So I found a reason
To let it go
Tell you that I'm smiling
But I still need to grow
Will I find salvation in the arms of love
Will it stop me searching will it be enough
I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer but you just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back
This could be the first day of my life
The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer we just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back
This could be the first day of your life
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer they just want more
Hey who's gonna shine alight?
This could be the first day of my life
The light - Disturbed
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You're waiting, hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light
Whole world is watching - Whitin Temptation
You live your life. You go day by day like nothing can go wrong.
The scars are made, they're changing the game. You learn to play it hard.
And I know you wish for more, and I know you try.
And now you realize, you know the time is right.
The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing 'fore your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
The whole world is watching you when you rise.
You build your walls then break them away 'cause that is what it takes.
You saved yourself. You found who you are. That never goes away.
And I know you wish for more, and I know you try.
And now you realize, you know the time is right.
The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing 'fore your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise.
Your sacrifice comes through your mind, but nothing is wasted. You made it now.
You rise again, breaking out. Each step you've taken, you've paid the price
The whole world is watching.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise.
Electric Bird by Sia!
This song feels like a warm shelter for when you're stuggling. I like feeling this way and I want people to feel the same, that's why I chose it as a username. Hope you guys like it!
