Answer 3

My brother passed away last year, and I put the lyrics to this song, by Brad Paisley, on My Space in my blog. Beautiful song, and it isn't depressing at all.

Artist/Band: Paisley Brad
Lyrics for Song: When I Get Where I'm Going
Album: Time Well Wasted
(Feat. Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus:)
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

(Chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

Unbreak my heart- toni braxton
heh all by myself-
angel- sarah mclachlan
damien rice songs
Morrisey songs- I like I have forgiven jesus

nirvana in general is depressing
what its like-everclear?
Lightening crashes-live
fresman-verve pipe
Hallelujah-rufus wainwright or jeff buckley can be depressing if you think of it a homage to jeff buckley
imagine- as an homage to john lennon

(sorry I didn't realize this was country....but this might be helpful anyway)

Answer 5

I would like to add to the list with

Brooks and Dunn...Believe
Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss...Whiskey Lullaby
Leanne Rhimes...Probably Wouldn't Be this way

I say these because i lost my partner of 27 yrs and these always manage to strike a chord.

Answer 6

Still Holding Out For You by SheDaisy:

Never thought I'd be in this place
It's someone elses life im living
Wish I were living a lie
The hardest part is when the bough breaks
Falling down & then forgiving
I'm choking on the words i didn't get to say
& pray I get the chance one day I still run
I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
Doesn't anybody out there know to never come around
some things a heart won't listen to I'm still holding out for you I can hear ya smile in the dark
I can even feel you breathing
When the daylight chases the ghost
I see your coat & I fall apart
To those hints of you I'm clinging
Nows when I need them most
I should get up, dry my eyes & move ahead
At least that's what he would have said I still run
I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
Doesn't anybody out there know to never come around
some things a heart won't listen to I'm still holding out for you Faithfully, I trace your name while you sleep
It's the only true comfort I feel
I still run
I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
I still run
I still swing open the door
I still think you'll be there like before
Doesn't everybody out there know to never come around
Some things a heart won't listin to
I'm still holding out for you
Holding out for you
