Hi Sarah-Jane,
I do a fair bit, while editing my religion MS., of listening to Randy Newman's "God's Song":

It may explain a lot. I also listen to Muddy Waters, "Got My Mojo Working," to Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," and to Bob Marley's "War" and Mix-Up Mix-Up," kind of on rotation.
Right now as I type we're listening again to Dylan's online concert from Sunday. Good stuff.
Cheers,
John
